I freaking love fultz and what he could bring to this team. There is still much more to him... his game.... and this effects on this team as well. Shoulder aside... there was the ACL and a toe. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. that toe cost him a huge pay day in my opinion. but gives us a chance to maybe get him at a discount.
thing is, we dont know that. and imo, we were the only ones that were going to offer him the deal he signed 2 years ago, an injury didnt cost him any money. he still cant shoot, accurately, with volume, from distance.
Shoulder aside which is funny because that’s the main issue here. He has 0 trust in his shot outside of 12 feet because of his shoulder. Sucks but its a business and if he doesn’t improve then hopefully the FO just let’s him walk
"Zero Thrust"... or growing confidence. looks like he's nailing mid rangers pretty well. Yes.... it's something that he has to reacclimate with. And yes i hope this is a place that i hope he improves... and i'm sure that FO feels the same... and i'm sure they can see what he's doing in practice.... and if they see "zero thrust" ... then i'm sure they would know that as well... more than just us on a board speculating his current situation. He possibly played the role he was requested.... and was given the freedom to develop at his own pace. Let's see what a healthy summer could do. And I get it... shooting is great... but it is not the end all be all. Trust me i hope it comes along as well... but he has a lot of other skills that makes him worthy as well. Not like he's just a shooter.... that can't shoot. hahah

Take 4/80 with injury out and run.
I am of this mind set.

Extensions aren't for taking gambles, they're for players the team can rely on and build around that have consistent strengths and work well with the planned team composition.
Fultz, literally, doesn't meet any criteria to warrant an extension.
Poetry.

Haha... Didn't have my morning tea. Grazie!
But still... We'll see where that all develops anyways. Still growing confidence. Hahaha
