Feb 7, 2019 — Jeff Weltman
The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Markelle Fultz. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.ORL on 2019-02-07: the listed basketball needs were event creation, shooting, passing. 1 candidate(s) had a source directly linking them to the team. 3 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.
Why is he here?
