As mentioned above, at ~2:43 his face loses control and starts contorting. Camera shot cuts to interviewer.

Pretty obvious really. Not normal at all.

It's confusing, i thought that it's "normal" to have one specific tic that repeats itself. But with him it looks like he has lot of them.
Hell from what i found, like 20-30% people have some tic and it goes unnoticed.
Hell i have one that only happends in super specific situation.

You mean negative outbursts when posting on RealGM?

Just playin!

I had a relative who had tic's as he got older with age. He had played Div 2 basketball and Minor League Baseball when he was younger. He could still play ball with no issues due to the tic's, but they were not that prevalent.

Anyway, I just hope he's able to get back to the court soon.

Weight can be lost in a few months. A psychological issue could be permanent. I reckon the pressure of living up to being #1 was more than he ever felt before. Who knows. Hope it is all fixable.

I only brought up the weight as a bigger issue because presumably, he played his dominant college ball with the same tourette's syndrome tics.

I don't think he had as much pressure in college like he has being a #1 pick in the NBA with those expecations.

haha

I could care less if he looks like a broken record while in front of the mic..... as long as he puts that ball in the basket... I'm good! lol.... hope this is the case.

This has to be one of the worst dunk contest in the history of the NBA.

Holy ish Silver really needs to add some new element to it.

Markelles shoulders looked good there in that video with the shoe. My guess is he wanted out of PHI. I think he’s gonna be great here.

Agreed ✓✓✓✓✓

I'd like to see it go back to traditional quality dunks with flare. No more props and leaping over dudes :/


PS, sorry for my excessive ticks

Oh and Fultz doesn’t have Tourette’s. My god you guys reach such ridiculous conclusions on very little evidence.

So far what I have gathered is that Fultz is an overweight, Tourette's having, stripper impregnating, cheating, immature, yips having player with mother issues. Well at least expectations should be low. Good job Magic fans lol.

Expectations should be low. 1st picks don’t get traded for trash after one season.

All of that said, I really do hope he figures it all out. He was one of my favorite college players to follow during our tanking streak. He seems like a great kid and has shown his teammates and the city a lot of love in the little time he’s been here.

And what about his entire college career? This is super weak.

I’m confident he will be back to old form in no time.

You dodged the question but it’s cool. I’m going to drop this. I do hope that he’s able to regain form quickly.

I'm sure Philly was too

Found another clip of his tourettes...



Look at all those tics getting in the way of a simple layup drill.

Fultz is super skilled - he will just need to adapt his game slightly.
Looks like a player that will flourish in run and gun team.
Half Court offense I don't think suits his game.

If his shoulder is healed, he can be an ALLstar PG.

If it is not, then Orlando traded an expiring and a late 1st for a very good backup PG.

Either way, this was a great trade.
