Markelle Fultz in the months of February and March, 2023:
16.4 points per game
5.7 assists
4.4 rebounds
53% field goal percentage
87% free throw shooting
When healthy he is excellent
He regressed a lot because injuries but Ill always love him
I swore Ricky Rubio would do the same shit
Rubio was a great player
He’s not excellent because he kills spacing. But he has a role in the league somewhere.
Too bad it’s July 2024 now
he’ll get a minimum somewhere, and then rarely play, because either 1) the team realizes a 22% three-point shooter as your ball handler restricts what you can do on offense, or 2) he gets hurt again.
He’s nonexistent from 3 and not that amazing of a defender. Easy to see why the stats inflate his value
he was a fantastic defender in 22/23 and was just beginning to shoot 3s again with confidence. Injury (both new, and his recurring shoulder nerve damage) completely curbed that
You ain’t slick, Markelles agent
