Markelle FultzPG, Orlando MagicAfter being traded to the Magic in February of 2019, Markelle Fultz played in all but one game for the Magic before the league suspension and was able to produce 125/160 per-game value in 8/9-cat leagues.
After coming off the bench for the first five games in favor of D.J. Augustin, Fultz was able to supplant on Augustin on the depth chart as he went on to be the starter for the rest of the season. The former first overall pick in 2018 gave fantasy GMs 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 threes and 2.0 turnovers in 28.3 minutes. He shot effectively from the field (.473) but struggled mightily from long range (.254). After disappointing in Philadelphia, it was a nice story to see Fultz become a starter in the league. Fultz has the ability to get inside the top-100 if he can continue to improve as a starting-caliber point guard at the top level.
