At this point, you need to believe previous No. 1 general draft choice Markelle Fultz will not be back with the Orlando Magic. Fultz is an NBA totally free representative and stays anonymous, and the Magic generated guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

So it’s most likely completion of Fultz in Orlando. Where could he wind up next? That’s an excellent concern. We have actually heard the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets have an interest, however none likely have the cap area. Fultz was likewise connected to the Atlanta Hawks by one Hoops Wire source. 

All we understand in the meantime is he won’t be back with the Magic. Or a minimum of, we believe.

So, how about the Thunder? That might be an excellent suitable for Fultz, composed Dan Favale of Bleacher Report.

“Landing with the Oklahoma City Thunder would be a borderline ideal outcome for him,” Favale composed. “They have the spacing inside their rotation to open up lanes for his dribble drives, pull-ups and overall playmaking. …. Viewed through the break-in-case-of-emergency lens, Fultz feels like a worthwhile gambit — particularly when the Thunder always seem to find (regular-season) minutes for pretty much everyone.”

Hey, why not? He is still a quality guard and even played a few of his finest basketball in the playoffs versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is definitely worth a look-see.

Fultz, 26, is 6-foot-4 and was the No. 1 general choice in the 2017 NBA Draft. He appeared in 43 video games last season, balancing 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 helps, shooting 47.2% from the field, however simply 22.2% on 3-pointers.

The numbers weren’t terrific, however once again, Fultz can be scrappy and make a distinction when provided the minutes.
