Markelle Fultz’s season embodies what the Orlando Magic’s 2021 season was.
It began with optimism as the Magic got out to a fast start. Fultz was a catalyst for this, showing an advanced ability to control the game and get the ball to the right players. Through the first six games of the season, the Magic’s usually woeful offense sat 18th in the league.
