17 PPG
3 assist
4 rebounds
46% shooting
36% 3

Are my expectations.

I think that's pretty reasonable.

It's a short list for any One-and-done Guards that shot anywhere near 46% in their Rookie season.

You're probably right. I think Fultz is definitely in the class of that short list though.

Rookie year TS%
Kyrie- 57%
Beal- 52%
Booker- 53%
Wall- 46%

Fultz at Washington was 56 TS%. I don't have the number on this, but I would bet a high amount of those shots were contested with a hand in his face or facing a double team. If that maintains we have one hell of a guard to put next to Simmons and Embiid.

That would be a good group of players for Fultz to join. I was wondering what Wall's #s are today? He seems to have really improved his shooting each year. Anyway, Fultz looks very impressive shooting, he should do really well with more open looks. When he gets hot, he seems like the type that can make many in a row.

The more I think about it I might think Fultz has a better chance to have a better shooting percentage because I don't think teams will key in on him because they will concentrate more on Embiid and Simmons and Redick. Fultz might get easier looks than most rookies.

Points- 13.5
Assists- 5.5
Rebounds- 4.5
3pt%- 34.5%
TS%- 51.5%
Usage%- 19.5%

Points - Over. I think he'll end up being the 2nd scoring option on the team, and the 1st option might be on limited minutes/games. Simmons is definitely a pass first guy and Redick isn't a high volume attempt guy.

Assists - Under. I think he'll be looking to score first playing with Simmons, and there aren't many teams with more than 1 guy over this mark. I'd guess he'll be around 4-4.5.

Rebounds - Under. I expect Embiid, Simmons and Cov to rack up most of our rebounds. Not many guards are over this mark, and for the most part, the ones that are play a ton of minutes.

3pt% - Over. Toss up here.

TS% - Over. Also a toss up. His free throw % could hurt him.

Usage% - Over. I think he'll be shooting quite a bit. Might turn over the ball quite a bit too.

“Definitely, he would be a great fit," Fultz said. "I think he would be good, somebody else I can pass the ball to. Everybody, I think the whole city will love him, but I mean, at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do, but we’ll love to have ‘Bron in Philly.

Anyone else on the wish list?

“We’ll take anybody right now, LeBron, Kyrie (Irving). If they want to come, come on. (Carmelo Anthony), anybody.

“Rehab’s going real great," the rookie said. "Everybody knows I sprained my ankle, but my ankle’s a lot better thanks to the training staff. I give big props to them, one of the best in the business. … I’ve been working out. I’ve been jumping, shooting, everything like that, so I’m real healthy, so I’m hap

And of course, that meant missing out on the highly-anticipated showdown with No. 2 pick Lonzo Ball and the Lakers.

"Me and him are cool," Fultz said of Ball. "I’m pretty sure we’re going to meet each other during the season. The NBA, I think, is going to do a good job of making that happen and I look forward to it. I wish him the best of luck this season, just like I’m pretty sure he does to me, but it’s going to be good. I’m looking forward to it.”

Already getting goosebumps of a Fultz vs Ball Christmas day blood bath.

Fultz is looking forward to it because he will have a front row seat when Simmons and Embiid tear Ball apart.

out of all the players im looking forward to seeing on this talented sixers roster, i'm the most hyped for fultz. i know what type of scorer/shooter he can be, i want to see him evolve into an elite offensive player. i can't wait to see him run the pick and roll with the roster around him. we haven't had such a talented backcourt player since iverson. it's been a long time coming

Laker fans are so salty. They have to chime in and say Lonzo better lol. They can't accept another player actually can be good. Laker fans are so annoying man. I bet they rate Lonzo around a 78 or 79. I doubt it's 80 and Laker fans are going to be calling Fultz all kinds of names lol. Fultz better use that as motivation.

I can't wait for NBA2k18 to come out. The sad thing is: I don't own a video game console. I just like to watch Sixers games on YouTube and pretend its real life lol. I'm such a loser.

this is from a lakers beat writer, which is funny. only problem i have with those projections are the win totals. sixers are winning 40+ games barring health

Mrcrockpots · Post #920 » by **Mrcrockpots** » Tue Aug 1, 2017 11:32 pm

The Sixers are winning 50 games next year in any scenario that includes a healthy Embiid and Fultz showing to be a better player than Ben Simmons.
