Josh Jackson deletes tweet calling out Markelle Fultz for lack of talent

Saturday night will be remembered for the complex trade the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers reportedly agreed to - a deal that would allow Philadelphia to obtain the No. 1 pick and ultimately the services of Washington guard Markelle Fultz.

Kansas guard and projected lottery pick Josh Jackson seemed to feel left out of all the trade talk and took to Twitter to express himself. In the now deleted tweet, Jackson criticized Fultz for having the "smallest bit of talent" and looking good on a Washington team that went 9-22 last season.

Jackson's Kansas Jayhawks went 31-5 before being ousted by Oregon in the Elite Eight by a score of 74-60. Fultz's Washington squad did not qualify for the big dance.

The NBA draft goes June 22. Stay tuned.
