I dont agree if you think Fultz is a negative player. But I think he needs to play with more impact on court. Like grabbing boards and trying to get guys easy baskets in transition.

It was obvious to see on replay that it was a low ankle sprain....where did high ankle come from?

My biggest concern with Fultz is his ability to guard quality PG's....I expect to see him play SG quite a bit when Redick is not in there.

Mentioned this on twitter, but just about all of our starters in both SLs were heavily negative to positive. It was a bad starting line-up.

Tarczerski with -49, without +52.
Poythress with -38, without +41.
Korkmaz with -10, without +27.

TLC was only one with near even splits.

He'll be more positive when he's playing actual NBA basketball versus whatever you want to call summer league. The point of these games for someone like him was to work on specific skills not put them all together just yet.

Would not have been surprised at all if he started turning it on in the 4th especially if the game was close last night. Last game like I mentioned in the other thread was super weird. His handle and moves were some of the best that's been on display the 3 games but he just missed shots. Those two jumpers he missed back to back he cleared tons of space with a series of moves.

I'd like to see him in the paint more but our staffs desire to play him with Kaleb makes it hard to tell if he can't get into the paint and finish or if the lane is clogged.

1-2 weeks is awesome. Please let this satisfy our yearly sacrifice to the leg god.

I keep hearing Harden, Roy, and Wade comparisons

But seems to me Fultz plays a lot like Lillard
Embiid-Simmons-Covington

Scoring, he reminds me a lot of Brandon Roy, I understand the comparison to him, didn't see much Harden when I watched their tapes.

Its the way they attack with change of pace and direction.

He is so like Brandon Roy though. Offensively, I just want that free throw form cleaned up. Maybe a little tighter handle. Defensively he's got miles to go.

reminds me of Washington, where he holds the ball and makes some nice shots...but he doesnt make anything easier for anyone else, and has no impact without the ball ...so it leads people to believe that his "teammates suck"

Fultz has also mainly shared the court with Trashcewski, so.....

Washington was 0-6 without him, 9-16 with him. Teammates were bad... Narratives to the contrary are ridiculous.
