Can we talk *positively* about Fultz? 

Post#1 » by Mamba4Goat » Wed Sep 25, 2019 7:57 pm

Dude was in the gym jacking up shots, looking like he's enjoying himself, not hurting, and is going into training camp with no restrictions apparently.

I'm genuinely excited for his season and hope he succeeds in at the very least competing with DJ for the starting spot. (Not much of a major goal compared to what he was supposed to be but still a huge step none the less)

There's tweets somewhere but I'm at work and too lazy to find and attach them.
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.

I just hope he doesn't have some debilitating neuromuscular disease.

Very few people can say they were the #1 pick in the NBA Draft.

He's a much better athlete than the average person.

Good, albeit short, college career.

Most people know my opinion on this one. If he can effectively restore his jump shot, he will be a dangerous player. I'll be pulling for Markelle.

It was the same story last year. Got a hype video of him working with Drew Hanlen, praise that hes ready to go, then you know the rest.

I haven't seen Fultz make a negative basketball play on the court in 9 months

He's the x factor for the Magic this season. Hoping he can come out avg 16-20 off the gate.

I will when he does something worth talking positively about. Imagine begging people to talk positively about Anthony Bennett because he is playing in training camp

Anthony Bennett didn't fail because of injury. Even if you believe the "yips" narrative then you are talking about a mental block interfering with his regular shooting motion.

I think it would be really cool if Fultz had a productive season. I feel bad for the sixers bros, but the magic being the beneficiary is offsettingly cool.

He will play better this year than any season in the NBA to date.
