I also hope he continous to get better but not on our team. There is something Ben Simmons about Fultz. I worry he will crack in the playoffs mentally like Ben and Simmons was better player.
Its amazing that once the pressure is off he changes his form.


I get the 3pt criticism but Ben Simmons and cracking? You are way off base.


Its obviously not on Ben Simmons level, but who is ? He cant create for others at the end of games. He either shoots midrangers or loses the ball. What is the reason his mechanics changed when we are basically out of the playoffs ? When games mattered he was propably too scared to shoot that way. Tell me other realistic reason i will wait.


Are you seeing Fultz cook the best defensive team in the league right now?

Cook ? Most of his points came in transition or cuts. Many of his assists were also not half court assists. Not impressive for a point guard who is supposed to lead the offense. Last few minutes he missed both shots, was left alone in the corner. He is ok as a scorer, but whats the point of scorer who wont shoot from 3 ? Its not coincidence we won 3 games all season when he scored 19+ points. He is a point guard who cant run pick and roll and scorer who almost guarantees a loss when he scores.

Lol. “Scorer who almost guarantees a loss when he scores” about sums up the blame game that the anti-Fultz crowd plays. It was far more tolerable when the criticism was surrounding spacing issues - this other stuff is just woefully pathetic reaching.
