Wow, this must have been a serious injury that they completely overlooked. He's still not taking right handed shots after months of dealing with this.

With our medical staff? Lonzo

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
Holy crap talk about overreacting. Dude is basically getting on the court and just screwing around and people actually thought they'd switch his shooting hand? The guy is just sitting around not even able to shoot a basketball, he's probably bored as hell.
I hope he starts messing with free throws underhanded just to screw with everyone even more.

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
How concerned should we be about Fultz? Do you guys think he will ever revert back to how he shot at Washington or Summer League or do you think he will be damaged goods for his entire career?

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
What's the point of running conditioning drills, for a hurt player, that calls for a jumper at the conclusion of the play? Asking him to shoot with his off hand.
Nobody in their right mind, when putting together a rehabilitation plan, would put that in place.
None of this makes sense.

He's not damaged goods.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

Yea, I'm going to double down on him not really working on left handed shots; he's just messing around.
That right handed heave, though...

I don’t. Think there’s any chance he’s going to shoot left handed. That’s just crazy. I think he was just shooting with his left because he was told not to shoot with his right.

That's why I don't have a single social media account. Wanna have anxiety and health problems in this age of instant everything? Get hooked on social media.
As far as Markelle, dude will be a fantastic player for us for years and years to come. Chill people.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

I think I figured out what happened to Fultz. He was kidnapped and he went into a sunken place. That’s why he doesn’t know how to shoot anymore.

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
Lol got to love modern day reporting. I hope those people aren't getting paid for that garbage. We get a click-baity play-by-play of every minor detail from practice. Practice...not a game...but practice.
Relax people. He's healing. he's going to come back whenever he is ready to shoot in the form that the team seems to want him to revert to.

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
Surely it's obvious he's just going through some plays and the shot at the end is the least important part of the exercise.

Yeah, why not? His shoulder will heal and he will amaze us for many years. It is just a little injury. heck, we waited for Biid two years and for Ben 1 year and look at them now. Being all dominant and stuff.
Also, I can't hate on a person, who worked so incredibly hard to come this far and to succeed. I wish him the very best.

Wait is this really it? He's clearly just messing around. When I first heard about this I thought he was running drills or something.

Re: Markelle Fultz Discussion II
All this Fultz nonsense comes down to two camps:
1. The camp that wants to gloat about being contrarians for attention for not wanting Fultz over some of the other prospects, so they want Fultz to fail to make themselves look good. And they want to expedite the process by trying to control the narrative and way blow the entire situation out of proportion.
2. People who are jealous the Sixers got Fultz, are salty about the embarrassment of riches we have in young stud players and our roster, and one of those prospects failing makes other people feel better about their teams and less jealous. It's pretty amazing the lengths people will go with sports to quell their own jealousies. They can't handle the truth, it eats them up. It's the same crap as when people go "Durr.... Embiid will just get hurt again and never be good!" after he has a 30/10/5 game.
The reality: this situation has been totally overblown from the start. He hurt his shoulder, it's not all that serious, the Sixers bungled the PR aspect of it like they always do, and when he gets healthy he'll come back and be normal again(whenever that is). There really isn't much more to this story than that. It's not a conspiracy, it's not weird, all that is trolls and attention-craving for headlines.

You guys breaking Sixers fans down into 2 or 3 types of fans are cracking me up.
