It is bull**** what this Organization is doing, resting half their team until next season.
Relax. He'll be back at some point this season and he's still in the reasonable timeframe of an ACL injury return. JI is a different story and it would be nice to know what's taking so long with him.

Because he ain’t what he used to be. It’s not a knock on him, it’s just not the Fultz that was drafted #1.
I'm skeptical that he can regain his 3pter myself but do you know him personally to be able to definitely say that? If not, please send me some winning Florida lotto numbers asap
No it’s an educated basketball opinion and dealing with mental health issues just like anyone else.
The guy literally went on about his depression and anxiety, having an injury AND forgetting to shoot how the basketball isn’t as strange as people make it out to be. He has nice floor awareness and decent basketball IQ but this whole “HE’S BACK” and “HE’S GONNA BE GREAT” is setting people up for a let down.

Re: When is Fultz returning?
Im not buying that we are intentionally tanking. However, I am buying that this FO lives in fear in regards to this roster and injuries.
Fultz/Isaac have missed the majority of their careers due to catastrophic injuries. Cole missed a large part of his lone college season to a serious injury. Chuma tore his ACL in his. Bamba has missed significant time to injury. MCW is always hurt.
Part of the problem is we just have so many players on roster with injury history.

No need to be a freaking troll. Nice try.
If his shoulder AKA thoracic outlet syndrome is supposedly healed, why isn’t his shot back?
It’s **** troll posts like yours why people don’t talk about anxiety and depression.

Your a troll.
Fultz has literally tweeted about anxiety and depression issues.
I’ve had issues with mental health that have effected my ability to consistently shoot. Nice troll though

I didn't say you wanted him to. You said to prepare ourselves for him to be bad.JazzUte88 wrote:basketballRob wrote:Go away trollJazzUte88 wrote:

Re: When is Fultz returning?
A large percentage of NBA players have anxiety and see counselors. Having a bunch of money and expectations at a young age is hard to take. That doesn't mean they're going to be bad. Fultz currently is the most level-headed player on our team.

That is not at all what I said. I said don’t expect him to be the guy at Washington or the Summer League. Then I said 17/7/5 type player is the goal.

Re: When is Fultz returning?
I read the part where you said not get our hopes up and went on about anxiety and depression. I think he's overcome all of that. He has the best attitude on the Magic and doesn't seemed phased by little things.JazzUte88 wrote:basketballRob wrote:I didn't say you wanted him to.

So not getting your hopes up =/ wanting him to be bad?
Markelle has nice leadership skills and a totally different game, like a Westbrook / Rondo type. But to expect his shot to be all of a sudden like it was (the reason #1) is a setting people up for let down in my opinion.

Re: When is Fultz returning?
Currently, he shows no signs of anxiety or depression. So that really has nothing to do with his shot. He's a young player who needs more reps before we can say what he'll be. Many young guards struggle worse than Fultz and develop their shots later.JazzUte88 wrote:basketballRob wrote:I read the part where you said not get our hopes up and went on about anxiety and depression.

What's the deal with this JazzUte88 idiot? Whoever let him in the door, kindly show him the way out.
