After the 1st game where Fultz does not have a good game. Coach Brown is going to come out to the press in a hoodie and wave his hands and say "These are not the shots you are looking for!". Walk away and all will be right with the world.

It could be both. His first few games he was getting his shot blocked easily driving to the basket.

After his return, he easily finished around the rim. Definitely, he looked much better. The injury could of been the difference.

Changing his shot for 3s and free throws probably caused the yips trouble. It's not easy to have 2 different shooting forms.

Why does the 100 page limit exist? Last thread was 102 doesn't seem hardcoded in the forum. An inquiring mind would like to know

I'm not exceptionally savvy with this stuff, but my understanding is that longer threads cause server issues. Makes everything slower for posters, more expensive for the site ect. So requests come from up high to cap threads at 100.

Was Dario referring to this year, or at some point in his career?

Fully healthy, If he plays more than 20 minutes per game this year, he'll be among the league leaders in getting his shot blocked again this year.

Probably. He's going to get to the basket a lot.

What lead you to this conclusion?

If u ask me, the poor proportion between perimeter shots and at the rim attempts from him last year was because of his reluctance to take jumpers.

He was predictable last season, wont be the case this season

He can't shoot. He isn't explosive enough to get himself wide open interior shots. And he's predisposed to taking contested shots on drives because he avoids turnovers from risky passes.
