Here’s a possible set of stats Markelle Fultz could put up this season, on a per-36 basis:
16.3 points
4.5 rebounds
6.0 assists
1.6 steals
0.2 blocks
2.8 turnovers
.298 from three on 2.7 attempts
.453 on 2-point attempts
Take a moment to look them over, and make a note of what you think. Would you categorize this as Markelle being adequate? Spectacular? Disappointing? A bust? Something else?
Seriously, think about it. Even write down your view.
OK, here’s, as Paul Harvey used to say, The Rest of the Story.
