Fultz, Suggs, Cole, Black are all fighting for that guard positioning. I think itll be between Fultz and Cole for who will be traded. Last year Cole was very adamant about being a starter and does have better spacing than Fultz
Fultz, Wagner and Paolo all clog the paint. Paolo plays much better when Fultz is not on the court. They have no spacing with all 3 inside, especially since Franz has been. Paolo and Wagner seem to have better chemistry than Fultz/Paolo or Fultz/Wagner. Paolo cant exist with Fultz to win. In a few of the last possessions they were running into each other and messing up the plays.
I love Fultz and would love him on the Heat but he doesn’t fit with the Magic imo.
The Magic desperately need 3 point shooting. They have shooters on the bench that cant seem to get playing time Harris/Houston/Howard. You can’t win if 4 of your staters cant shoot 3 consistently (Fultz, Suggs, Paolo and Franz) Wendell is your best shooter and he’s the 5.
They’re a good young team.
They’re eventually going to trade at least 2 of them and Black looks to have the most upside so I doubt he gets moved any time soon. For now Fultz makes the most sense to trade since he’s a free agent after this season and doesn’t even try to shoot. I think Suggs gets traded down the line as well unless he learns how to shoot. He’s a great defender but if they’re building around Wagner and Banchero, who aren’t good shooters, they need shooters on the floor with them. Cole may want to be a starter but I don’t think there’s many teams that would actually make him a starter and he can be a really good 6th man and with Black’s size could play alongside him some as well.
