Free throws look good...jump shot looks very steph curry-ish to me (lower release point). BUT , that works for Curry because his release is lightning-quick. Not sure if Fultz can duplicate that. One can hope.

Sweet. I will be at that game ! That may be the first game that the future big 3 are all on the floor together.
BTW--that is the ONLY 1pm game this year. WTH Sixers, not everyone lives on Broad street or in Philly. Give us some more early games.

Long story short, though, his shot is adjustable and leaps better than the beginning of the season, so I'm not terribly concerned about his longterm shooting ability. I think he will struggle with his shot for the rest of this year, but it's not a big deal.

Yea, I’m wondering if its just because he’s shooting around At practice and not in a game setting? I know some guys have some serious lift in actual games and do not necessarily duplicate the same jump/base during practice/shoot arounds.

From what I remember, Fultz seemed to have some lift to his shot a UW.

Watch on YouTube

Will be interesting to see how it unfolds. I’m just excited to see him get in the floor.

the Ringer ripping Fultz, again, and laughing at "propaganda" being dished on his behalf.

i actually enjoy reading that site, at times, but am so jonesing for Markelle to return in form and smack the smirking condescending grin right off Billy's face. say what you will about Brett, when he gets enthusiastic about a player, he's on target, and i hope his comments about turning the corner with Fultz's return are accurate.

At least he’s not shooting like Shaq anymore.

Bahahaha..... The Ringer has no place to talk about propaganda, even Joseph Goebbels would think the level of the propaganda Boston churns out on a daily basis is over the top.

100% correct. DPRK is very jealous of the level of brainwashed fans Boston has.

Are you kidding? If Markelle comes back and plays well they'll be making nightly "Wow, he's a ROOKIE?!?!" comments and acting like they've been on his side the entire time. They have no foresight and don't acknowledge history. Bill called Ben Simmons the 12th best player in the NBA (better than Embiid) a couple months ago and now he's doing his "are we sure he's good?" routine. When the Sixers were winning, they gushed about them on every podcast and in every story. Now they're refereed to as "a mess."

Besides KOC and a couple others, the ringer operates using the previous 5 games as a sample and that's it. Nothing prior is considered and nothing is projected forward. It's a desperate, lazy excuse to release content and it starts at the top.

Good to see him getting into his groove. His addition to our team will be irreplaceable. We now need an athletic sharp shooter (like Trae Young or Collin Sexton) and we will have a great core moving forward.

Welcome to sports media. Where the takes are never measured or well thought out. Better click bait.

Haha yeah typical media guys. They like to make extreme takes for people to take sides and also to get attention. Its really tough to get attention nowadays after the babes at the instagram that you really need to have really hot takes to compete for attention

Thats why you lose if you take all these too seriously. In the end, who cares whos right or wrong. Were all here just to enjoy ourselves.

When Fultz returns up till the end of this season, are you over or under on 2 3PAs per game?

cksdayoff · Post #1355 » by **cksdayoff** » Sun Jan 7, 2018 12:11 pm

i'm taking the over

Mrcrockpots · Post #1356 » by **Mrcrockpots** » Sun Jan 7, 2018 12:15 pm

It better be the over. I don't know the analytics, but there is no doubt in my mind that we lead the league in missed, wide open 3s. Fultz should thrive in this area.

Over, but he’s going to struggle this year from there. I could see him regressing to the beginning of the season and doing pump fakes and driving.

Hard to say, it depends how confident he is in his jumper. Is he still embarrassed by how he shoots? Especially in front of everyone, that being said I would like to see the over but not holding my breathe for it.

PhilasFinest · Post #1359 » by **PhilasFinest** » Sun Jan 7, 2018 6:24 pm

Yea I’d say over assuming he gets close to 25-30 mpg.

He took 5 at UW.....playing with Simmons/Embiid, and In this system with a green light to hoist them up I’d like to hope he would. I want him attacking though. The spins, the step backs, the hesi-pull up jimbo’s. That’s what we need.
