Wild open shoot for fultz and just refuses to shot it. And forces a forced middy. This just isn't working

That is a wide open corner 3, one of the very easiest shots in all of basketball, for 29 other NBA teams.

Clearly Paolo wants to shoot the ball. He wants to set the tone but we're all going deaf with his performance right now.

Anthony Black should be getting every single minute. He’d take that shot.

I really am perplexed by it.

He is terrible and he's not going to be back next season. I'm at a loss as to why he's playing. I guess they trust his ball handling? But that isn't enough to justify even a single minute.

The other dirty secret is that Fultz is an actively bad defender at anything that isn't playing a passing lane and getting a steal (which does has some value).

I like Mose, I really do but this is some low IQ stuff here.

Magic fans get so mad when national media rip Paolo. Their criticism have merit. His efficiency around the rim is terrible for how big he is and his shot selection and turnovers are piling up. He has a lot of work to do to lead this team to anything.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.
