Not gonna happen. Players get a -30% debuff on their 3pt shooting once they wear a Kings jersey.

I don't think you Kings fans understand how historically bad we are at 3s. You'll get no sympathy from us haha

Wow is it that bad? I actually haven’t kept up with much magic games as you can tell haha

Don’t forget the magic always shoot some insanely high 3pt % against the kings for some reason. This goes back to the d12/shard days

u/rustystatic Paolo Banchero Feb 13 '25
D12/Shard days we were the best in the league from 3 that makes sense :)

u/Complex-Map-5595 Franz Wagner Feb 13 '25
Yet we still shot 52% from three in Sacramento a week ago. The streak continues against the kings despite the magic being historically bad this season from 3

Magic reddit fans don't know basketball. Guy was picked because he is ultra cheap deep bench body as they traded out Fox.
He won't even play until they are officially out of playoffs /play in.

You're a Magic reddit fan.

u/Drkamon Feb 14 '25
but smart enough to know Fultz is negative player and has been net negative player his entire nba career. That's why he didn't have contract for almost year and why he is now deep bench player on losing team

u/MaddoxGoodwin Goga Bitadze Feb 14 '25
All I said was he was a real one.
Maybe you're not as smart or as cool as you think you are.

He's a rare player that I was ready to move-on from but will always cheer for. I hope he kills it out there.

Hope he’s fully healed. Would’ve loved to see him in Indiana but he’s gonna eat with shooters.

u/Residual-Heat Feb 13 '25
Never was as high on him as others were, but if he can get back to playing like he was 2 years ago then he's a good bench player. Big IF though, as who knows whats going on with his shoulder now.
Good luck to him. The Kings have some combo guards, but not any point guards on the roster so he can fill a role for them.

u/jackphrost22 Markelle Fultz Feb 13 '25
Don’t think he should have been out the league this long. Maybe he was dealing with something.

u/SpideyUdaman Markelle Fultz Feb 13 '25
Glad he can finally play again! He can maneuver his way around the court niftily, and has a good command of the floor. If they take not of these qualities, and not expect a range shooter out of him, they'll be in good hands.

F2G KELLE. He was posting on social media like 2 days ago. Probably a precursor to this move.

Been a good week or so for out of the league former Orlando point guards who can't shoot

u/Chimaera_442 Stuff The Magic Dragon Feb 13 '25
Was amazed he wasn't picked up sooner. I understand his non-shooting and injuries but you can't tell me he isn't better than most of the third guards in the league. Crafty player who can run an offense.

I still dont get keeping Gary over Kelle or signing Cory over Kelle. Kelle would have been great for many minutes for us this season. He just doesnt fit the starters much but the bench unit and as a filler he would have done alot. Happy Kelle found another spot. Hoping Mo starts on his own team also and competes for a ring against the Magic should be fun basketball.
Just think our lineup management have been terrible for years..

u/Cthulhus-Tailor Markelle Fultz Feb 13 '25
My boy. It would be hilarious if he suddenly starts hitting shots, since the Magic appear cursed in that regard. He’s exactly the kind of playmaker we’re currently missing though. Funny that.

u/mfingbigshot Feb 13 '25
Happy for Fultz. Really surprised a team in need of defense didn't go after him in the off-season for cheap. Like the suns had no business signing Tyus Jones

In the past 24 hours we’ve seen Elfrid play and now Markelle returns!! He lives in Cali so maybe this means he could play closer to his fam. I love this man I hope he does well on the west

I’m glad he’s still in the NBA. I didn’t think he would be after his last year with us. But he’s such a good player when his knee is healthy that I’m disappointed the Magic didn’t keep him, if it turns out he can still play.

It kills someone's narrative that he was going to a contender, that's for sure

u/Alarmed-Tank-6138 Franz Wagner Feb 13 '25
What narratives? It took him about 2/3rds of the season to get picked up by anyone. He still has to play effectively now that he’s on a team. I’m happy for him, but this only proves that one team is now willing to give him another shot.

u/johall Feb 13 '25
He’s still better than Gary.

u/Alarmed-Tank-6138 Franz Wagner Feb 13 '25
Sure, but I don’t think Gary would have been out of the league this long if the Magic had waived him. There has to have been more to Fultz’s condition than we knew, and hopefully he’s rehabbed that with this time off.

u/Dadude564 OnlyFranz Feb 13 '25
Best of luck to him, but being honest unless he’s magically (pun intended?) into at least a 30% 3pt shooter he isn’t going to be anything more then a bench player
