I humbly suggest Sleep Train as a nickname for Fultz. He might even be able to sell the nicknaming rights.

Yeah he's actually funny and makes, like, actual jokes. Shaq's calmed down a little bit but he was mostly just sort of a bully and attention-hog most of his career, and his 'humor' was things like pantsing his young teammates and interrupting an interview to say 'I'm really smart, you know that I'm as smart as any of you?' and puffing out his eyes. Not a witty dude.

i posted that last week lol. all the HS highlights ive seen of Fultz, he seemed more fluid and quicker before his body developed more mass (this past year) so it could very well be possible that his body is still adjusting to the added muscle.

It really was a great deal, and fingers crossed everyone's healthy and puts it together this year.

I feel the same. I root for my Wizards but will watch as many 76rs games as possible I hope I won't be dissapointed!

Then Keith hit me up and said, “New plan. Philly.”

I was just waking up. So I was like, “O.K., cool. Do they have Chick-fil-A there?”

A crispy chicken sandwich for breakfast. It’s kind of like my good luck charm. Keith never got back to me about that important question. So I found out for myself. I googled it immediately.

Philly does have Chick-fil-A. It has six, actually.

Seven if you count the one at the airport. Boston has zero Chick-fil-As, for what it’s worth.


What's up with this dude and Chik-fil-A? Also, lol at Jojo texting him 75 times in the past week.

So since Fultz got cut from the varsity like Jordan can we say we now have the next Jordan too?
Embiid is Olajuwon.
Simmons is Magic.
Fultz is Jordan.

Wow. We will win 8 straight titles. Can't wait. Anything lest than 6 titles is an epic failure lol.

I feel like Fultz is gonna shoot poorly but have like 4-5 flashes a game driving to the basket that have you like whoa during summer league. Seems like everyone always shoots bad during Summer league. Can't wait for the hot takes though

Fultz needs to chill with the fastfood. He needs to shed that baby fat and fuel like a professional athlete.

Reading Fultz's article reminded me of something that we overlook a lot: Hinkie made such an amazing choice in hiring Brown. It's yet to be determined if he is a good enough in-game strategist for when we're competing but for someone to motivate, develop, and lead a team of youngsters, I really don't think there could be possibly be a better choice.

You do realize he probably hasn't played competitive ball since the college season ended, right? Almost no top prospects play competitively once to the college season ends to prevent injury thus lowering their draft stock.
