People forget that our SL has not been the problem. It's how we've been closing out the games. Fultz will be a game changer, if healthy, playing for his dream team as a kid. He has a lot to prove to the league. I bet part of the issue has been not playing an optimal role in Philly, with the expectation that Simmons is the alpha. With Orlando, Fultz will be the court general, and he will thrive in that role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really trying to manage expectations here but I keep daydreaming about how he's not only fine but the catalyst to us playing like a good team and we finish the season on something like a 18-9 record and everyone's like "one team the top seeds want to avoid is the surging Orlando magic". I understand it isn't smart to think like this. But man, what if. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 Time to play the what if game: What if it really is mental? The mind can do crazy things that manifest themselves into physical reality. Perhaps he really didn’t want to be in Philly? What if: MF, lol, (not the best acronym) just needed to remove himself from the whole situation and reset the process he then proceeds to come out of the gates on a mission. All a Magic Fan has is hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Magic 1,215 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 was thinking Ben Simmons cant shoot but is still classed as all star....even if markelle becomes a average shooter we have something special.. now if his shots comes properly....wow wow wow... add in our pick this year.. if we nail that... we have the highest ceiling young team in the league probably.
