VIDEO: Markelle Fultz Caps Resurgent Night With Putback Slam in Crunch Time for Magic
By Michael Luciano
The best part of the Orlando Magic's matchup against the Toronto Raptors (other than Toronto throwing it back to their inaugural logos, uniforms, and court scheme) has been the eye-opening play of Markelle Fultz. After the former No. 1 overall pick was limited to just 33 games in Philly due to some mysterious injuries, Fultz has found a home in Orlando, announcing that he's ready to take games over again with a ferocious putback slam.
13 points, five assists, two rebounds 26 minutes off the bench, playing in crunch time. Pretty cool to see. https://t.co/kEFsAVigvx

Fultz, who was without question the best player in the country at Washington, is finally healthy and ready to get back to stopping the show with some jaw-dropping athleticism.
Fultz, who came into this game averaging 12.0 points per game, already showed the Cleveland Cavaliers what he can do when healthy.

Fultz may not be fully back as a shooter just yet, but the explosiveness and penetration ability from his days in Seattle have remained. It looks like Steve Clifford's Magic were the right team to unlock the oodles of talent a healthy Fultz still had.
