Sean Cunningham: “Markelle Fultz providing a bit of a spark off the Kings bench. Up to 6 points in his debut with his new team and looking spry, throwing one down in transition. Kings trail the Warriors 100-83 headed to the 4th in Sacramento.”

Fawzan Amer: “Former Orlando Magic G Markelle Fultz had a strong debut as a newly minted Sacramento King tonight — especially given him coming off an injury and playing halfway through the season. He tallied 8 points in 9 minutes, including a runaway hammer slam”

@acenspades777: “Markelle Fultz is the only player on the Kings with a positive plus minus. Kings fans and Doug Christie are gonna find out real quick how much he impacts winning. He’s normally a very low TO PG too so don’t expect those to stay high.”
