Selected first by the Philadelphia 76ers are part of their infamous “trust the process” era in 2017, Fultz never fulfilled the promise of his prospect pedigree, flaming out after two injury-marred seasons in Philly.<\/p>\n
He was traded to the Orlando Magic at the 2019 trade deadline and went on to spend five seasons bouncing between a starting role and the bench.<\/p>\n
Fultz moved to the Sacramento Kings last season, but he 28-year-old combo guard averaged only 8.8 minutes over 21 games. He holds career averages of 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 255 games spread over eight season.<\/p>\n
The Upper Marlboro,\u00a0Md., native has also shot just 28 per cent from three-point range for his career on an average of 1.2 attempts per game.<\/p>\n
Fultz was claimed off waivers by the Raptors G League affiliate, Raptors 905, on March 6 and played five games with the team, averaging 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. He made a game-winning shot against the Motor City Cruise on March 17.<\/p>\n
Fultz could see minutes as a depth guard for the Raptors as they seek players who can break down a defence with their dribble, one of Fultz’s primary skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selected first by the Philadelphia 76ers are part of their infamous “trust the process” era in 2017, Fultz…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-555946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
