NBA draft no. 1 pick Markelle Fultz could use some work on his paid Instagram post game
Congratulations to Markelle Fultz, who was drafted as the number one overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
Now that Fultz is a fully-fledged NBA player, he'll be getting plenty of attention from sponsors — like Nike, who has already signed an endorsement deal with the 19-year-old.

With corporate attention comes sponsored Instagram posts. And that means making sure they're properly edited — with the name of the city and the team he's going to play at — before they're published. He'll be learning that quickly after a recent Instagram post.
"Excited to head to (City) and join the (team name). @Tissot.us is helping me get started with my (team name) watch," Fultz posted.

The post was soon edited, however, showing the correct city and team name — that's Philadelphia and the Sixers, for those playing at home.

For those disappointed Fultz isn't on their team (ping Celtics fans, down the line), maybe you can hold some hope that he'll be happy to play wherever in the future.
Just insert your team name as required.
