Fultz s career contract review, signed 3 contracts, debuted as the No. 1 pick, no one wanted him at his peak at the age of 27

Every year, the NBA draft brings together super rookies from all over the world. Those who can become the number one pick are all recognized talents and potential superstars. Among them, it is even more difficult for a shooting guard to become the No. 1 pick. So far in the 21st century, only Edwards and Fultz have done it. Now that Edwards has grown into a superstar, Fultz has no ball to play, which is disappointing. So do you know how many contracts Fultz has signed in his career? It is a pity that he debuted as the top pick, but no one wanted him at his peak at the age of 27.

Rookie Contract

During his college days, Fultz was already a well-known super rookie, known as McGrady's successor, with explosive athletic ability. Fultz became the No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft, and he also received a four-year, $37.39 million contract. However, Fultz's career was not smooth. He suffered from injuries in his rookie season. He only played 14 games as a substitute and averaged only 7.1 points per game. The sophomore also played only 19 games and only averaged 8.2 points per game.

After that, Fultz was traded to the Magic, and the Magic also regarded him as the core of the team. In his third grade, Fultz recovered and averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. His performance was remarkable.

The Magic offer a contract extension

With his outstanding performance, the Magic recognized Fultz, and they offered Fultz a three-year, $50 million contract. However, after the contract extension, Fultz's attendance rate is still not high. In the 20-21 season, Fultz only played 8 games. In the 21-22 season, Fultz only played 18 games. By the 22-23 season, a healthy Fultz proved himself. He played 60 games and averaged 14 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, proving that he was a qualified defender.

However, in the following contract years, Fultz was affected by injuries again, and his performance declined. His data also dropped to an average of 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game, which can only be regarded as mediocre.

The Kings got Fultz with a basic salary

Last season, Fultz joined the Kings, and the contract was only a basic salary. Fultz came off the bench in all 21 games. He averaged only 2.9 points, 1 rebound and 1.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 42%. Because of his mediocre performance, Fultz failed to get a contract extension and has been ignored during this offseason. At his peak age of 27, Fultz is likely to play without the ball.

When the Magic traded Fultz, he was only 21 years old and was still a defender with potential. But many years have passed, and Fultz is now 27 years old. He no longer has much potential to tap, and he has failed to develop his shooting ability. Even his attendance rate is difficult to guarantee, so there is a high probability that he will not return to the NBA stage. Fortunately, Fultz also earned a salary of US$88.13 million and achieved financial freedom.
