The Process appeared to reach its next stage on Saturday evening.
Markelle Fultz worked out with the Sixers on Saturday amid reports that the Sixers are close to trading up to the No. 1 pick in order to select him.
As he worked out at the Sixers' practice facility in Camden, looking on were multiple potential future teammates, namely Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Robert Covington. After practice, the trio spoke with Fultz before posing for a photo which sent the internet into a frenzy.

On Instagram, Fultz showed that he's already on board, commenting on Embiid's post with the customary response: "Trust the process."

If the Sixers do end up trading up and selecting Fultz, that group alongside Dario Saric could be lethal on the court. And if they're anything like the current crop of NBA stars, a turn behind a microphone isn't out of the question!
