I wish he got to the line more... some are cuz he doesn't get the ref calls and a lot has to do with him creating separation with his size, IQ, athleticism, etc. But if you believe that you have seen everything that Fultz is and can be on a returning season from an injury and lack of reps with a new team... an on-court plan to feed the 2 core players.... then so be it.
He doesn't get to the line because he shies from contact and you'll notice he takes a lot of off balanced almost wild looking shots instead of playing through contact. Crazy thing is sometimes they go in. He has to add muscle and develop a more physical game. The good thing is that mentally he plays a tough game. You can see that he is not afraid of being a cocky prick after he makes a shot or dunk. So I do like that.
Well, tbh, Markelle’s game is effective this way.
If he draws contacts, that might make him ineffective.
If he initiates contact or get fouled while trying to finish around the rim, chances are, he’ll most of the time end up throwing the ball to the rim, which will lead to a stationary shot… Markelle excels in shooting with momentum. Try watching him shoot free throws or spot up 3s, those shots dont look normal. and those shots are really the ones that miss.
