The “NBA Bust” That’s Making A Big Comeback 

I was so happy for Markelle when he made his return against the Pacers the other night. It was kind of emotional the standing ovation he got from the crowd here in Orlando. And to support him our entire team or false jersey shirts to the arena before the game. I know where rebuilding but I think we have a bright future

let's face it , he's in a much better situation than he was in Philly than he is now in Orlando and i'm really rooting for Markelle Fultz, so Markelle, if you're watching this , we're all rooting for you dude and we hope you can succeed in Orlando

Waiving Joe Harris stands out to me as one of the single most mind-boggling moves ever by the Orlando Magic. Harris was on a second round rookie-scale contract and already a 3-point bomber in Cleveland. The only reason the Cavaliers waived Joe is because he got hurt, and they couldn't afford to wait, since they were chasing a title. The Magic, OTOH, were in the early stages of their rebuild, and could have easily given him the time he needed to rehab. 💁🏻‍♂️🏀

Great video on my favorite player! He has been good since returning this year and looks like he's already developing some solid chemistry with Franz and Wendell

truly thank you for doing the poll Casey and this was honestly the best you've done

This is a pretty good observation besides the crap about his Mom. Kellz has a wonderful family with a great bond. He is going to be a great guard in the league. He has great work ethic, unselfish, a great feel for the game with a high B-ball IQ. F2G All Day!!

I watch all your videos and enjoy them all, but something about this one made it particularily great

It's funny how when the Warriors were winning chips the 3pt shot was the end all be all of basketball. But in all actuality the midrange jumper has remained the most dangerous weapon in playoff basketball, why were the Warriors so good, because KD was still hitting midrange pull-ups on those 3pt shooting teams. Good for Markelle, he can shoot midrange jumpers again.

You're the man Casey. Thank you so much for doing this video I recommend.

A.M. Hoops Casey this was actually one of the best titles you've done. and for sure this such a good good story

as a Sixers fan, I'm so happy for him. He even outplayed most of Sixers the other night in our latest match up

Best part doing work and listen to your videos

Such an underrated channel keep it up Casey

thoracic outlet syndrome is so much more than just a shoulder injury

Markelle has been diagnosed with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome, a physical injury," Brothers said. "TOS affects nerves between the neck and shoulder resulting in abnormal functional movement and range of motion, thus severely limiting Markelle's ability to shoot a basketball.

I never understood the hype on Fultz but I'm glad he is believing in himself and playing his game instead of what he thinks everyone else wants him to do. As with some other players in history when they get their head right they really take off and their game does as well allowing them to have a longer career than had they not!

I really hope Fultz can turn it around since I was a big fan of his in college.

Can u imagine that markel+Simmons could have played together at philly Lol. 2 top drafts who couldn't shoot

NBA RU-vid's favourite player to talk about

First view!!! Notifications on love your vids

Around 2:55 sounded like my baby was crying in the background. BTW nice grind lately man! Keep on stacking, save up some money for some higher end productions about major events

It's crazy to see that Fultz turned out better than Ben Simmons 💀

Getting open for a mid range jumper is such a beautiful thing… I’m an old school basketball fan as you can tell 🤣🤣

I love and appreciate the work that goes into these videos. I do have one suggestion which is to reduce the use of the word “anyway” which can make the narrative feel less credible or lacks confidence in the story being told.

He didn’t just have some shoulder injury tho, it was quite serious if I remember correctly

He's solid role player for us

I want to thank Philly for giving Boston future Hall of Famer and MVP Jason Tatum..But I'm routing for Fultz to do well..He is just a kid and people tore him apart in the media..I wish the best for u kid and believe in urself..God bless

1:18 I was really hoping to get an attempt to read that name… but Casey dodged it with "a useless player" lol.

This really was the best title 👍

Markelle Fultz: Atleast I’m still in the league Anthony Bennett: ….

Really hoping he stays healthy and becomes a star.

Subbed for more Fultz talk 😉

Maybe not on the same level as this year but markelle is about to be the next demar derozan. Watch the space. His ability to playmake in the half court, finish at the rim and hit midranges will have him being a 15-20ppg, 5 assist and 5 rebound player for years to come barring injury. He will be showing everyone he is not a bust. Always had faith in markelle. Glad to see him proving the nba wrong. Scary potential.

Late in the thread..... Markelle reminds me of Bernard King. He has his options, sees the set up, and attacks it. He isn't as big as Bernard, but he has the attack. He's not too far from being a star.

Per min his stats are unchanged from the start

Magic got good peices

I absolutely love watching players that have great midrange games. It's beautiful to watch. All the little nuances a player puts into his game to be able to get an inch of breathing room to get a shot off.

correlation isn't causation though - it's not that the midrange shot is now "better" - it's that floor spacing is now significantly better across the board and that opens up the midrange. If he doesn't have capable shooting around him, the midrange will still be a bad shot (generally speaking)

Markelle is very talented. 3pt is a necessity now in the league but DeMar show us that it is okay to shot less in the 3 as long as you can jack up midrange shots consistently. He can work on fixing his 3 point shot but for now he should focus on shooting midrange shots efficiently.

AM HOOPS you forgot that Markelle Fultz had a nerve issue between his neck and shoulders. That's why he's jumpshot his wack. But he played through it and got better

Your insulting the kings by calling the magic the worst front office when we know we are 🙄

He fucking balled out tonight as well in less than 20 minutes burn

I've always believed Markelle would become great he will become great Mark my words

I love Markelle

That Turkish team is a Euroleague champion where both Bogdanovics and Nemanja Bjelica played before coming over to the league

Ty for listening to the poll

Orlando's new gm saved them from the mess Hennigan left behind

Hey markelle fultz for Aaron Wiggins kuz they would bring some good offense to our team n plus he would bring good vibes to good young stars

Markelle is going to be great next season

Given Fultz, and SImmons, at some point how is it not a conversation of how bad the 76ers organization / developmental staff must be?????????

I'm glad he made it and found people that believe in him

"the worst front office in the league" pour one out for Kings and Pistons fans. My man has erased them from existence.

You should mention that Booker wanted to come here as well

Is he saved? I mean, I guess. I think he still will be considered a “bust” (whatever that means) no matter what he does. That’s not really me trying to hate I just think the fact alone that he was traded within 2 years of being pick 1 is like unprecedented. He says nothing but nice things about Philly to this day and one of the picks they got for him was Maxey who is working out for Philly. So I don’t think Philly fans have any hate to the dude, it’s just kind of the “bust” narrative because he wasn’t great within a year or whatever

I believed this guy has something he can prove to the league... it' just unfortunate for him that he suffer that kind of physical illness sortof that hinder his developement, but make no mistake he can still prove something i hope so.

$50M, that's my kind of hell. Give me the $50M hell please.

Why do they call Markelle a bust? We all know he had a legit shoulder injury when he was in Philly so he can't play 100%.

As a sixers fan this hurts 😂

He just hit a stepback 3 against the 76ers, league shivering

A.M. Hoops just don’t miss

Just cause he scores 9 points a game doesn’t mean he’s saved. Still one of the worse picks of all time considering they traded even more picks when they could’ve got Tatum at 3.

Jaylen Brown next video A.M Hoops 🙏🙏🙏

Go markelle

I've never been this disappointed in a team for literally giving up a potential Championship bc they can't wait 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

If they got Maxey from the Fultz trade then this is a win for Philly to be honest.

Kevin love is alive? Woah.

The Rob Hennigan era for the Magic was awful he drafted well just made dumb decisions giving up on talent too early and horrible trades

what up casey

He suffers from TOS Which has stripped him from his shooting ability

Didn't realize the pick they got for Markelle turned into Tyrese Maxey. Sixers fans often look at Maxey as being what they were hoping to get in Fultz. Some consolation for the Philly fans.

The correlation between midrange js and EFG% in that graph showed almost 0, which in statistics, means no correlation. In lamens terms, one has nothing to do with the other. In more lamens terms, this graph doesn't prove that it's good or bad.

He had TOS on his shoulder.he was misdiagnosed with 76s.it is why his shot was broken.you didnt acknowlege that.why? Now he is healthy and playing out his mind

Physical tests don't test shooting skills, that's not part of the tests.

Can we get a Tyrese Haliburton video?

You're way too high on the Kevin Love thing. He had absolutely no shot at 6moty. Tyler Herro will win that award. I doubt Love is even top 10

Turkish team that didn’t give a spot for Anthony Bennet won the Euroleauge. Just sayin

Fultz is good player, but is nothing more than backup PG- role player.

Let's realtalk Philadelphia has a lot of pressure for markrel ..

Who's better? Fultz or Maxey?

Yeah that Magic have somehow managed to screw themselves better than they’ve helped themselves over the years

As someone who Eats McDonald’s all the time. He was good

22 points per game next year

Toronto is only team that can save fultz now

Just imagine where the Sixers would be if they drafted Tatum instead of Fultz. It was a stupid pick from the start as Simmons was already the point guard of the future there. With Tatum that 2019 team probably wins a ship, they never trade for Harris and Butler and Simmons are still happy 76ers with two or three rings.

Bennett being cut by a team in Turkey… A team which happens to be the EuroLeauge champions. So I took your comment personal. Of course, the European champions would cut Bennett…

Not to mention Jimmy playoff buckets who not exactly a 3pt shooter

Devin Booker could’ve been on the knicks in 2015 that’s craaaazy

At the end the magic still made the worst desicion by taking markelle over maxey lol

philly is just a toxic place lol, roco said it, markelle and ben also left🤷🏽‍♂️. i get there’s a sense of passion in your city and franchise but some people go overboard, sending players death threats and boarder line harassing them smh

Very small grammatical error - It's a NBA bust not an NBA bust

Could be a borderline all-star. Talented and exciting player. Happy that he is putting it together and hopefully he avoids more injuries

He was never even a bust. He was just hurt. TOS is no joke

Think he can be Demar lite

Should never been number one overall to begin with.

I just watched him play in one of his better games this season he is almost the same player he was in college just less bounce and not confident from 3 he was never a elite bucket getter not a lot of move going down hill and that’s what he’s best at down hill passing or at the rim scoring the nba is who really messed up looking at his film go watch him in the nba rn and go watch his college film he’s the same player fr a few players is that draft where way more skilled offensively super raw prospect to me from jump

The only reason I remembered this guy is because of his shooting form 😂

Hes considered a bust cause wasn't worth the 1st pick and went before tatum

Philly could’ve had Joel And Jayson Tatum 🤦🏾‍♂️ or The Lakers could’ve drafted Jayson Tatum instead of Lonzo ball

ISTG you should be in ESPN instead.

Markelle Fultz ain't a bust Ben Simmons is a bust
