Markelle Fultz Discussion II

Fultz seems to get injured very easily. Perhaps he should change his diet and stay away from the fast food (ie Chic-Fil-A)

Prokafor vs Nokafor has more sense than this Fultz shoulder talk :lol:

I suppose you have a different theory?

Your achilles is in your foot btw.

holy sh***

I remember when I broke my hand playing football... I drove home myself and my parents couldn't believe I was still able to put enough pressure on the brake. When my dad broke his foot he couldn't drive!

Achilles was killed after he hurt his achilles during the trojan war. This injury is not a joke and the trojan war is tougher than shooting freethrows or driving your car back home

Legolas was always deadly accurate with the bow.

Would his bow mechanics change if he has fluid removed from his shoulder?

I watched the entire LOR trilogy, there were instances that I'm sure he hurt his shoulder and yet he shot that bow with same form.

Im telling u, kelle's problem is mental

Person 1: PR disaster
Person 2: Shoulder injury
Person 3: Bust and buyer's remorse
Person 4: mental problem
..repeat to person 1

Media is just amplifying the issue over and over again because the injury, how we are handling it and the mechanics are all very bizarre like a viral video of a UFO seen in northern Russia.

The story is just simple. Kelle has an shoulder injury so he has to TEMPORARILY change his mechanics.

You maybe right. But the bigger issue that has been brought up time and time again. Why let him play with an injury at all?

Ok cycle is repeating..

Im gonna be person 2

He was allowed to play because its just a minor injury while team doctors dont see letting him play would result to setback with his recovery.

Well everything at Chic-Fil-A isn't that bad for you, but he does need to work on his body alot. Maybe it will help him with injuries and such, but its not like he doesn't have time to do that.....he's 19 all year.

We do have to have more of a record of injuries to say he is injury prone....we have a couple more players, especially one, that deserves the injury prone label more than Fultz.

And to that I say what the Phuck. With the history of injury this franchise has you let an injured player play. Then you pull him out after his agent cries to the media. How minor could it have been then?

I have a question for everyone. Let’s say when Fultz comes back he is 100% healthy. Let’s say he says he’s healthy and everyone is on the same page. What happens if he still shoots free throws the same way and still refuses to shoot jump shots? Then what? I just hope when he comes back he shoots normally from the line and takes 3s. I’d hate to hear all the negative things when he comes back and he looks exactly like he has the first four games.

Simmons25 · Post #793 » by **Simmons25** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:49 pm

When is 100% healthy though? I don't think that just because he has 3 games or even 3 weeks off that he is automatically 100% healthy.. and I sure as hell don't believe this front office as to what they tell us he is.

I've basically written off this year for Markelle. I am only wanting to see flashes of what he can do... and unfortunately maybe even inevitable surgery. I think we just have to accept that he will underperform until his shoulder is 100% ok and he has had time to get confidence back in his shot... which I don't think will happen until October 2018.

Kobblehead · Post #794 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:55 pm

Brett Brown: "Markelle, I know that 45% of your offense comes from mid-range jumpers, but you're going to have to re-invent your playstyle. We don't do that here."

Fultz: *empties french fry container into mouth* "But coach, that's my bread and butter!"

Brett Brown: "I know, Markelle. I tried to tell Bryan that you were a suspect fit into the offense, but he coughed up the assets for you anyway. So you're going to have to learn how attack the basket more frequently and make more assisted threes."

Fultz: *unwraps cheeseburger* "What if I just don't shoot at all and blame it on a shoulder injury?"

When he gets 100%, he should be able to get his shooting form to what it was. All shooting takes is repetition. Fultz's biggest issue down the road won't be his shooting form. It will be getting clean shots off against NBA level defenders. Contested shots that get up against against Cal Poly, get punched by NBA athletes.

That's like still using the umbrella after the rain. I tried that once and people called me crazy.

That said, if Fultz still shoots that way then we all can call him crazy
