"The 905 have recently lost David Roddy to the Denver Nuggets, as he earned himself a two-way contract thanks to his good play in the G League. Prior to that, it was Alex Sarr's big brother, Olivier Sarr, who also earned himself a two-way contract, this time with an Eastern Conference playoff foe, the Cleveland Cavaliers."
"For the former first overall pick, Markelle Fultz, it will be a shot at redemption after failing to pan out in Philadelphia with the 76ers during the peak of their 'trust the process' movement. He only lasted two seasons with the 76ers and was later shipped to Orlando in exchange for Jonathon Simmons, a first-round pick and a second-round pick."
"Fultz actually enjoyed his most productive seasons with the Magic, averaging 11.6 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game over 26.2 minutes per game across 201 appearances in 5 seasons. His downfall with the team happened in the 2023/24 season, with the arrival of Anthony Black."
The Raptors 905 acquired former first overall pick Markelle Fultz as they experienced significant roster turnover due to NBA promotions. Recent departures include David Roddy to the Denver Nuggets, Olivier Sarr to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Julian Reese to the Washington Wizards, all earning two-way contracts. The 905 offset these losses by acquiring Tyrese Samuel, the reigning CEBL Player of the Year. Fultz seeks redemption after limited success with the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings. He previously averaged 11.6 points and 4.8 assists across five productive seasons with the Orlando Magic before declining production.
