A little jerky. I could live with that in game tonight just so we have more than NBDL level PGs on the bench.

What’s with the body language ? He hangs his head after ever shot & strolls off like he’s on holidays at the beach. He could not look any less interested if he tried. It’s infuriating.

the dude probably worked out for a couple of hours prior to shooting free throws.

is this the next mike schmidt/scot rolen situation. fans gonna get angry at a player's body language now?

How many people look interested shooting FTs? It's a FT it's not a dance-off competition.

He was always a little like that at UW, seems like a quiet fire guy--super introverted and focused on himself and not those around him. (Some draft blogs noted he was overly 'casual' (I think that was Mike Schmitz's word) at UW and others noted he also never caused any trouble despite being in a bad situation). A lot of athletes are like that, doesn't necessarily mean anything bad.

What is up with his guide hand being on the front of the ball instead of the side?

His left hand is also pushing the ball out when he shoots. Why is the trainer allowing that to continue?

Not surprised. Brett told me the other week and I posted it here.

So far reports on Fultz sounds good. Biid said he looked great. Even said Fultz was dominating. And for BB to slide Ben to PF just shows his confidence on Fultz.

Cant wait for fultz-ben PnR!

He doesnt do that on pull ups. Yup, his shooting is weird. It looks worst at front angle.

Is that rhetorical? I think it's obvious the staff working with him has been incompetent for a while now.

Did Brett also tell you when we are expected to see him play?

I hate his shot in that last video. I'm excited to see him come back, and it's great reports are encouraging, but I'm just not seeing it in ANY of these videos. He legit looks like a totally different player than he was at UW. I'll remain hopeful but my expectations have definitely lowered.

That second FT gave me a mini-heart attack. It does seem to confirm that his shoulder is still bothering him at times (like BB mentioned recently), if that's the case why on earth is he creating bad muscle memory and shooting?

I got the trade then, and I still understand the move, but what would this team look like with Tatum (who I thought was the #3 pick) or Smith or Mitchell contributing...so easy to second guess right now, but I had no doubts during the summer league so we just have to TTP...

Mitchell, we're probably a top 3 team in the east. Mitchell is what we want Fultz to be. D.Mitchell is averaging around 20+ppg 4rpg and 4apg at around 45-50FG% with atleast 2 3p/g in the last two months. Thats better than Ben Simmons if you ask me.

Probably nill if DSJ.

Tatum? A little better, he doesnt fill the hole but definitely helps.

wtf is wrong with this mofo. hes literally holding the ball like shaq before shooting a freebie, just with his fingertips. how can anybody tell me this has something to do with a bad shoulder? this kid is a big time weirdo :banghead:
