Fultz Prediction

[Bergmaniac]

If Fultz's TOS doesn't improve soon and he continues to just never shoot from outside surely Weltman can't be dumb enough to think the Magic can be a successful NBA team with such a complete non-shooter as their starting PG.

So, for $5M a year?
He will be 7 years pro as free agent, vet minimum for such player will be over $2,5M

for that he can go and sit on bench of some Bucks/Nuggets and win a title.


What would purpose of that re-sign be?
Black would continue to play anything but PG.
Cole would still be needed as bench scorer.
Suggs would still be incapable of playing PG.
And you would still need starting level PG


I reached point where i just feel bad about Fultz so i don't want to engage into debates about him nor say anything negative. But if you have to decide between $5M a year on non contender, vs at least $3M a year on contender, why would you choose Magic?

If i'm some Knicks team, i would rather have him as 10th man than Flynn or Achuiwa ,both make +$3,5M ( hell, Achuiwa makes near $4,5 while being one of least fundamentally sounded/talentd basketball players i ever watched in nba. ).

I’m just trying to be nice to the guy!

That said…

If the Magic stay healthy and make a second half of the season run like I think they are capable of making as the schedule lightens up, I absolutely still believe the odds of Weltman doing a full blown run it back (aka last night’s lineup and rotation with Fultz signed to a new contract this summer) is on the table.

The schedule softens up so much that the Magic are gonna win a good amount of games on February and March whether Fultz ever attempts a jumper outside of 15 or not.

I think they could easily hit 45 wins with Fultz literally not changing anything about how he's currently playing.

I couldn't tell if last night some of what looked like floaters were actually floaters but just wildly short due to the TOS or lobs to Wendell (I recall at least two that he grabbed, brought in, and then put back up for a basket. Wonder if those counted as assists or missed attempts for Markelle - anyone know?

I think you can be at ease. Nothing our front office showed, points to Fultz being resigned. I also hope Parker brought some fresh view point with him. We will propably trade for a guard in the next 2 weeks or in the worst case in the offseason. There is no point in torturing oneself

I was curious so I went and rewatched Fultz's two officially recorded missed field goal attempts in this game. One of them was a floater shot from very close and was grabbed by Wendell for an easy bucket, might have been a pass, Fultz and Wendell were both laughing about it on the way back. The other miss wasn't on a floater, it was a layup attempt and Wendell didn't grab the board.

Knee tendinitis, not TOS. God.

Guess he needed another night off against Cleveland. Been playing too much.
