I've seen enough, bench fultz start black

What does fultz even do well? Not a great defender and can't shoot doesn't get a ton of assists. Just in one quarter black looks way better, tenacious defender and a great rebound and can chip in points. Leave this man in the starting line up even when fultz is healthy

I think it would be better if we trade Fultz in a package deal for a shooter. I would love Simons but there is no way that Portland lets go of him.

Even if he's on the team I'd start ramping up blacks minutes and cutting fultz, we aren't giving him an extension and he's just taking minutes away from black. What does he even do that's massively better than black?

I want to see if Portland would consider Fultz, Issac, Denver first, and Orlando protected first for Simons.

Dude's stealing the playbook we've been saying for Fultz; to go to the shortest distance, corner 3 and make it at an average rate. For me, it's hard to dislike one and like the other between Fultz and Black, because I see way too many vague similarities. But for one being on a rookie scale and the other due up..

Scoot and the Thompson twins are 5-48 from 3 and ABs 2-3.

Knee-jerk

But yeah Black is looking good. His size is such an asset in a ball handler.

Bipolar comments is how realm works but everyone show yourselves who said he was bad

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Dude Scoot is shooting like 3% from 3 on five attempts per game

Too much for a guy that is basically Cole Anthony with WORSE defense.

Fultz is a good defender. Black is a great defender.

They play the same way really. They probe and play fairly organized and get the ball where it needs to go. Neither get high assists. Black had 2 assists tonight. Paolo had 10. Nothing wrong with your PG just giving it to the best player or 2nd best player. And offensively their main weapon is finishing around the rim.

And the last is obviously Black is more willing to shoot the 3, at least from the corner.

So, there's a rookie having same production in his first start as does 7th year player who started in 150 games. I don't know where Black will be after 150 starts, but it is reasonable to expect him to improve.

Fultz is a 7th year guard with career low assist.

Black is playing his second NBA game practiaclly speaking, if you consider 16 minutes against the Jazz his 'first' game. Citing his 2 AST this game as an indication of his point guard skills is kinda disingenuous. Black wasn't even running the offense tonight as he was swining the ball on the perimeter as opposed to pounding it like some guards.

I was impressed by Black tonight, he had great composure and showed he’s definitely a future peice here. With that said, is there any kind of update on Markelle? I still think Markelle’s a good player, just off to a bad start to the season. Not ready to hand the keys to Black yet. But tonight was VERY encouraging.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

I hope so, I'm ordering the bowl of crow to eat from Amazon. It delivers in 2 weeks after some more more Magic games :D
