Markelle Fultz Discussion

76ciology · Post #1621 » by **76ciology** » Sat Sep 30, 2017 5:06 am

I think Fultz is talented, he can play on and off ball but I have some concerns if he is comfortable playing with the same pace with Simmons.

Upside wise in terms of role to the team, I envision him playing like Steph or CJ McCulllom role where he plays a really good on/off ball balance. Cuts, gets off ball scoring opportunity a lot while also being a good ISO player.

Yeah, but he only reason we got the 3rd pick was because of the Kings swap. We could have had he 14th pick before the lottery, and we still would have gotten the 3rd pick via the swap.

Ahh yes... that's true forgot about that.

Well, he's an idiot. That explains quite a lot

Colangelo is a complete and utter moron.

Lots of you got irrational hate on Colangelo. The guy brought it lots of good things to the team and maintaining our direction towards a non-mediocre team

I was looking at the tape, Fultz already slightly tweaked his shot during SL but has no problem pulling it off against Exum and Jaylen Brown.

If I were Fultz, I’d be focused on being a super elite shooter like steph or cj. The rest should follow.

I'm scared: how could a GM say something so dumb?
Does he understand how swap picks work?

I'm stunned.

Makes sense to me. If we slipped outside the bottom 10, then Sac's position might have changed as well. If it did, then another team would have gotten the third pick.

Some on here have irrational hate on just about everything sixers. Weird.

Yea, I'm a huge Hinkie fan and even I don't have much negative to say about BC. BC continued the plan, played it smart with contracts, got the best fit for Simmons/Embiid and will hopefully soon lock in Roco for the next several years. BC has done a good job here.

That he should. That's his avenue towards being an elite player.

I actually am surprised there were no clips of JJ, Fultz and Sauce in a shooting workout unlike our bigs. That would be nice to see

The media is in there for like 15 minutes of a 3 hour workout.

I expect him to play well and show tremendous potential this year, and we will eventually start focusing on what he CAN do instead of what he CAN’T do .

This is false. It's 3-4 of the same people coming in here banging their head against the wall posting verbal diarrhea. A lot of these same people were trying to be contrarians throughout the whole college season and funnily enough those same people for some reason have 3 of the top 4 post in this thread. Some people would call it trolling/baiting but hey I don't mod here.

There is nothing wrong with someone having a negative opinion of a player. What is grating is repetitive opinions - whether reacting negatively to a move or, I don't know just off the top of my head, writing 1,000 times about how Okafor could improve, is a beast that even Draymond cannot contain and will average 25 and 10 no problem. I'm hopeful that when the season actually starts, the conversation will progress. But when nothing is happening, it's not that unexpected for the conversation to become somewhat circular and redundant.

Sorry for defending Okafor.

The point with Draymond was that a 6'7 player should struggle defending a 6'11 player (40 more lbs) down low.

Lol, I defend everyone's right to make any point they want but only express exasperation at repeatedly saying the same thing over and over again. So you proceed to repeat yourself yet again.

Because there is nothing to talk about for the next few days besides ping pong and Okafor:

Over/under on Fultz's PPG the next 5 years
This year/rookie year- 15.5ppg - UNDER
2nd year- 17.5ppg - OVER
3rd year- 19.5ppg - OVER
4th year- 22.5ppg - UNDER
5th year- 24.5ppg - UNDER

I think Fultz should be an efficient scorer hovering around 20-22ppg in his prime. I think he's around 13/14ppg this year, but will take a massive leap in his second year. Just a feeling.

I work with a lot of people from the UK and they would disagree that you don't get to dance with "birds".
