Fultz recalled his days in Philadelphia.
Markel Fultz (193cm, G) has been highly anticipated since his college days with his excellent scoring and passing abilities. He also enjoyed the honor of being selected as the first pick in the first round of the 2017-2018 NBA draft, which Fultz participated in. So Fultz made his debut for the Philadelphia 76ers.
At the time,스포츠토토 Philadelphia wanted Fultz to help Ben Simmons (206cm, G) and Joel Embiid (213cm, C) make Philadelphia the best team in the league. However, Philadelphia’s wish did not come true.
Although he debuted with much anticipation, injuries caught Fultz’s ankle. From his debut season, he only played in 14 games due to a shoulder injury, and in his second season, he only played in 19 games due to an injury. In the aftermath of his shoulder injury, Fultz’s shooting was hampered and his shooting success rate was disastrous. Fultz played in 33 games over two seasons with Philadelphia, averaging 7.7 points, 3.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds, making 26 percent of three-point shots and 53 percent of free throws.
Philadelphia traded Fultz to the Orlando Magic. And Fultz succeeded in rebounding from the Magic. It wasn’t a dramatic rebound, but he averaged 12.1 points and 5.1 assists in 72 games.
Although he could not play many games due to injuries in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, he played 60 games this season, averaging 14 points and 5.7 assists. That’s how he became a key player in Orlando.
Recently, Fultz appeared on ‘Tribuner’ and looked back on his Philadelphia days. “I wish Philadelphia would have waited longer for my injury,” Fultz said. It is because I am a player who can fully help Philadelphia win.”
“But on the other hand, I really appreciate the support and help from the Philadelphia club. they did everything for me But they just needed quick results.”
Meanwhile, Fultz’s contract with Orlando ends at the end of the upcoming 2023-2024 season. Attention is focusing on whether Fultz will be able to increase his share price with a healthier appearance in his next season, and whether he will be able to meet Orlando’s expectations and sign an extended contract with Orlando.
