It's no coincidence, if this is indeed the yips. This is what Barkley had with his golf swing, and he admitted as much. This could be a similar case.
The biggest problem right now seems to be that him and his camp don't seem to be willing to recognize that this is indeed the problem they are dealing with rather than an injury. They are trying to find anything wrong with him as long as it's not in his head even though reportedly half a dozen specialists have said so far there is nothing wrong with the shoulder or any part of his arm.
The first part of eliminating a problem is recognizing and acknowledging it so you can actually address it and work on it. Right now it looks like Fultz is too prideful/immature to even admit that the problem might be in his head.
I'm only speculating, but I think they might be doing it for PR purposes, while they know what the real problem is already, be it neurological or psychological. If they admit it's either, they will destroy any value he has as a player and no one will touch him because he'll be a lost cause, so they are trying to cement a public perception that all it is, is a simple injury to the shoulder\thumb\earlobe, which can be healed.
I agree, they want to keep his value up. The questions I have is wouldn't they have caught this problem in pre draft workouts? I mean it's a FT for heavens sakes.
