After four rounds of bombing, 56+ 18+ 18, Fultz refused to do parallel imports, and Magic 3 was a great success 1.

As the highest hall of basketball in the world, NBA never lacks talented players from outside the chart. Every year, the NBA draft sends a group of talented rookies to the league. If you can join the NBA as the top draft, then this player will become the focus of countless spotlights from the moment he first enters the league. However, not all talented champions can display their talents on the NBA stage. There have also been many parallel draft champions in the history of NBA draft. Here is a player who was almost included in the parallel draft champion.

In the 20 17 NBA draft, markel Fultz from the University of Washington defeated Ronzo Bauer, Tatum, Fox and many other talented rookies, and was selected as the No.1 pick by the Philadelphia 76ers. At that time, the Philadelphia 76 ers were very talented. Prior to this, they took off center Embiid in the 20 14 draft and point guard Ben Simmons from Australia in the 20 16 draft.

The 76ers selected Fultz with the No.1 pick, which was somewhat surprising, because they already had point guard Simmons, and then they were selected. Tatum, Jackson, Isaac and so on. Are all strikers urgently needed by the 76ers? Sure enough, due to injury, Fultz only played 14 games in his rookie season, averaging 18 minutes and getting 7. 1 3. 1 3.8 assists. In the second year, Fultz only played 19 games, leaving a report card averaging 8.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3. 1 assists.

In the off-season of 20 19, Orlando Magic reached a 3-for-3 1 agreement with Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Jonathan Simmons, 1 protection of the first round of signings (from the Thunder) and 1 second round of signings (from the Cavaliers) in exchange for Fultz, the top pick. The 3-for-kloc-0/transaction was generally not favored by the outside world at that time. After all, Fultz suffered from injuries during his two seasons with the 76ers, and he also suffered from a strange disease that can make the memory of shooting fade away. But just one season later, Fultz proved that the Magic's 3-for-1 1 deal was a great success. Thanks to the 76ers for letting Fultz find himself!

Last season, Fultz played 64 games for the Magic, including 59 starts, averaging 28.3 minutes, contributing 12. 1 minute, 3.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists, successfully gaining a foothold in the Magic, and severely hitting the face of his old club, Philadelphia 76ers. Although all the data have reached career highs, Fultz's amazing performance is regarded as a flash in the pan by many people because of his only 25.4% three-point shooting rate and strange injury history.

After the baptism of last season, Fultz, who started again, is more confident. In the four preseason games of Magic in the new season, Fultz started without exception, and two of them played for more than 30 minutes. In four preseason games, Fultz scored 56 points+18 rebounds+18 assists, and contributed 14 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. Although it was only a few preseason games, Fultz's steady output announced to the outside world that he refused to be a top parallel import.

Magic still pays attention to training young players in the new season. With Gordon's gradual rise, the core of magic is gradually shifting from Vucevic to the outside. When new stars Isaac and Bamba come back from injuries, Magic will have a good competitiveness in the East. If Fultz can continue to improve his shooting level, he will be the best choice for the Magic starting point guard!
