Fultz's midrange game, which was quite good last year (38% from 10-16 feet, 46% from 16-23 feet) has just absolutely cratered so far this year (31% from 10-16 feet, a horrendous 21% from 16-23 feet).

His midrange has looked quite hitchy and uncomfortable the last 4-5 games after looking really good the first few games.

Everyone goes through shooting slumps. I'm not discrediting his growth over the off season until Midway through the season. Panicking over a few games when he did have some solid outings early is not something I'm prone to do.

It will work out.

On a few of his midrange pullups lately, there has been a weird pause at the top of his shot before actually shooting. He looks like he is almost aiming once he gets to the top of his jump.
