He has the tools but he's very much still a work in progress. If he doesn't bump up his efficiency to at least league average next year, I will start getting very worried about the team's future.

Only down 2 is kind of a miracle.

But the Magic have a lot of FTA and OREB keeping them afloat.

He was playing much better earlier in the year. He earned it. He has sucked lately though.

I pray Fultz and Carter are not on this team next season, they are both just bad. Not even decent.

Fultz gets that cardio in when he’s in this lineup without the ball.

Sophomore slump. He had a bad start to the year and then was pretty good for a while.

Absolutely needs to stop playing soft though. We so many instances of him attacking and finishing strong and he doesn't do it enough. Touch needs to get better too.

Also when he shoots, he spins his wrist. It's not consistent.

Fultz in this lineup just doesn't make sense. They have cole bring the ball up and he just stands around. It's just crazy stuff to watch.

Just play nine guys.

Franz with the 2nd unit.

No more Fultz.
