The Orlando Magic – Extension Signing!

September 19, 2019September 20, 2019bballscholar

On Markelle Fultz.

The Orlando Magic have decided to pick up his 12.3M option until the 2020-2021 season.

Meaning he has 2 years to prove himself in this league! Fultz may have found his future home if everything falls into place.

The Orlando Magic are putting their faith in the former number #1 draft pick.

Will Markelle Fultz ever get his mind and body right this season?

Eye Test:

We will immediately see if he’s ready or not. All I ask for him to do while on the court is play with passion!

Disappointing Start:

In his career he has played in 33 games all with the Philadelphia 76ers. He is only 21 years old and he will have a fresh start on a new team.

I am rooting for him!

I believe his problem early on was adjusting to the NBA’s lifestyle.

This time around he has to be mentally tougher or he will not get a another chance in this fickle league.

He was mishandled by the Philadelphia 76ers ; he should of been shut down and reevaluate immediately. Instead of forcing him to go out and play when he wasn’t ready to go at 100%! Hence why the 76ers gave up on him so prematurely. They needed players that could help them win now!

Fultz had immense promise coming out college. Sadly up to this point he has been a huge disappointment in the NBA.

Can you think of a #1 draft pick who has been more disappointing then Markelle Fultz so far?

Side Note:

I hope to see Markelle on the court this season.

I believe that this team will lead the NBA in midrange attempts and makes. This team will have a throwback feel because of how they’ll run their offense.

Who I am excited to see:

I am excited to see what Dejounte Murray can do off coming his gruesome ACL injury in last year’s preseason.

10/7/18 👇🏽

Before he got injured he had shown glimpses of what his true potential could be! He’s a wirey 6’5 PG with tons of athleticism. Let’s hope he can come back stronger!

Mitchell Robinson – 2019-2020 – Will Be A Defensive Terror!

September 11, 2019September 11, 2019bballscholar

Mitchell Robinson is a real one on defense! He is 7’1 240Lbs with crazy athleticism!!!

I absolutely love his tenacity on the defensive end. He gives maximum effort on every defensive of play. I don’t want to be over the top but he has Tyson Chandler / Ben Wallace type defensive potential! In only 1 year I could see him being a huge problem for many years so come.

By the way those guys I compared him to were defensive anchors for their championship team!

Can he do the same for New York Knicks one day?

Last year as a rookie he averaged :

20.6 Minutes

2.4 Blocks

0.8 Steals

Totals:

1360 Minutes played

161 Blocks

52 Steals

Comparison to the 2018-2019 Defensive player of the year:

If you never seen him play defense, check this out! This is must watch! He is only 20 years old.

Limited Action:

Were the New York Knicks hiding him? Probably so, Coach Fitzdale is a excellent coach. This year, I expect Robinson to take a huge leap in his overall production with more minutes.

2019-2020 projected stats:

MP 31.6

P 12.7

R 8.9

A 0.9

B 3.1

S 1.2
