Of course it's just workouts so take the grain of salt but his shot looks pretty good. If he can be even 50% of what he was in college it will be a big help.

Needless to say I am hysterically excited about this news when I probably shouldn't be...

Glad to see he's good to go but his shot is definitely different to his shot at Washington.

I’m wanting to post the gif of Randy Marsh from South Park when he finds “The Internet” after weeks without porn.

I’ll skip posting that here but the idea should capture where I’m at emotionally right now ...

So F’ing happy this gamble paid off and this guy is going to actually see the court.

I'm more than fine with his shot being different. I didn't love Fultz solely because of his shot-making. His court vision combined with his playmaking and defensive upside is why I think he could be a great fit with our core. He doesn't need to be the transcendent number one overall pick he was drafted as. If we can just get him on the court I think he can have a real positive impact for this team. I expect his shot to continue to be a work in progress this season but I still think his upside is high.

The fact that after 6 months of pretty much zero information from our FO Weltman is coming out and saying he is fully healthy and will be a full participant in camp is what I asked for. It's enough to get me excited. I still expect many ups and downs with him but at least we get to see him on the court.

For a number of reasons, this is the most excited ive been for a Magic season in 8 plus years.

I don't care about his shot or new shooting mechanics, but seeing that Weltman is saying that he will be playing since Day 1 is big news to me. Magic office wouldn't say that if they didn't know it for sure.

Let's **** gooooo!!!!!!!

That short clip really isn't much but it looks promising. I hope he can turn things around and jumpstart his career in ORL. He was such an exciting player in Washington.

Excited for you guys. I was a huge Fultz homer when it looked like the Celtics might draft him and I've been following his career ever since.

Dont want to get my hopes up. It doesnt look like he has a normal shooting motion. And seem to be just pushing the ball

Its auite different. Unorthodox stroke.

There is a lot of good this kid can do at a level unfamiliar to anyone else on the roster outside of shooting.

He is still so young. Let him excel where he already is special and let’s see what this coaching staff can do about that shot.
