Markelle Fultz

100!

I disagree with many of you… Fultz is not the issue, how he is utilized is the issue… There is zero reason why his usage rate isn’t higher and we use him like Westbrook 2.0…. Our two strongest points in the game were him pushing pace and recognizing/finding Harris when he was hot and him picking apart defense with ball in his hand in 4th…

I generally like this post...He's got all of the Westbrook tools but lacks the ferocity (like nearly everyone else). He shows flashes of muscling people out of the way and finishing angry but only very sporadically. Westbrook is ALWAYS angry...I question whether he's being misused or he's just not that aggressive. I just can't accept all of the posters suggestion that he's "deferring" or "doing what he's asked", as if he could start lighting it up if someone just asked him nicely...I find it hard to imagine any of the coaching staff would tell him to pump the brakes if he showed the same nasty competitive streak as Suggs. Suggs' mentality and effort is what has kept him in the rotation more than his skills (to this point). I want to see more of Fultz bumping Lebron out of the way and finishing in his face.

When I coached my son, he would frustrate the hell out of me because he was so much more talented than he played. But if somebody got a little rough with him - he went Beast mode to show them up. He DID normally defer to lesser players. My joke was to tell his teammates to pinch his tricep and piss him off.

Someone needs to pinch Fultz' tricep...I think Moe would do it.

If you want to know the weather today you don’t check weather reports from 6 years ago.

You dont know the weather by checking temperature at one random time of a day.

I’m not sure what happened but your takes have been so far off the mark lately.

My takes are aging like fine wine. You want to bet Fultz +/- will take a big hit in the coming weeks/ months ?
