Fans have been speculating as to what number 2017 first overall pick Markelle Fultz will wear with the team. Fultz wore the number 20 while playing in college at the University of Wahsington and in high school. Fultz also wore the number 7 while playing with team USA in the U18 FIBA Championships. 

It is customary for incoming players to pay or offer the gift for the number they want if an incumbent players currently wears that number. If Fultz wants to wear the number 20 with the Sixers, he will have to pry it from the team's sophomore swingman Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot. TLC appeared to set the price on his Instagram account:

For the sake of Markelle Fultz's bank account, I hope TLC is joking. The most affordable Lamborghini model costs $200,000. The car pictured is a Lamborghini Aventador which starts at $399, 500 for the 2017 model.
