Haha i dont know if you're being sarcastic

Nooo. Totally sincere. He's down from averaging 3 shots being blocked back in his face.

Fultz has time to work through his issues with Simmons and Embiid dominating.

19 years old.

He's still a baby with his attack the rim IQ. He should get better in time

markelle is soft, but hopefully he doesnt become a colessal bust. Okafor, stauskas, and a hinkie special 2nd round pick for bledsoe. Who says yes first?

Holy crap, his shot is soooo busted. I blame this 100% on the coaching staff, they're ruining this kid. You refine a persons natural jumpshot (especially if it was working before) not reconstruct it from scratch.

Everyone is clowning Fultz. Fultz looks like a cubic zeconia. Not the real thing. He’s a defective toy. He should be embarrassed. I can’t believe he duped so many people thinking he was the top prospect. He better get right. He’s not even a top ten rookie right now. Remember when people kept saying there has never been a guard who was selected number one who became a bust? Yeah about that. Right now if the Sixers tried to trade Fultz for another rookie I’m not sure we could even trade him straight up for anyone drafted in the first round. Think about that.

He didn’t trick anybody, he played well, shot a lot, and made a lot in college and now he’s not. It’s not even a matter of him not being able to shoot from NBA range because we saw him do it in SL, he just has to sort out whatever is wrong with himself and begin shooting again.

Don't be mad at the Kid. Be mad at the dummy that drafted him.

I'm confident with Fultz. Good energy in defense, move well on the floor. Only 19 et has not the ball in his hand a lot. He will learn quickly. Too smart to stay with this form of shooting and too smooth to not be able to do better. I really like this defensive five : Fultz TLC Cov Simmons Embiid. If this backcourt could shoot better, it will be a nightmare for the opponent. Length, agressiveness, transition.

He should get his act together on or before nov. 10, or we'll get laughed at when he faced Fox and Ball (11/10-16), that is more stressful than answering work related e-mails

maybe he's healthy now?

but then again, he once again refused to shoot tonight AGAIN

I am just dumbfounded

if we had the fultz from washington we could be starting him and our defense and offense would be MUCH better.. not to mention we could be playing him 28 mpg instead of 16 and have less of bayless and mcconnell..

ffs fultz GET YOUR **** TOGETHER


What shot were you referring? The jump shot during first quarter was off


Yeah huh? He took 1 jumper that wasn't a layup and it looked really odd and barely hit the front of the rim from close.

http://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/76ers/brett-brown-says-nobody-has-any-fears-over-long-term-impact-markelle-fultzs-shot

“There’s no doubt that it factors into what people question right now about his shot. There’s no doubt,” Brown said prior to the Sixers’ matchup Monday night in Detroit. “You don’t just walk a certain way for a long period of your life, and then all of the sudden, start to limp.”

Once again, this is not a hitch. His set point is just extremely far from his body (which has nothing to do with his shoulder), which makes him shoot this one short because he can barely get any force from his elbow extension.

listening to wip right now and the morning team brought it up and a doctor put in his two cents saying that it cant be a labrum or rotator cuff injury and it might be a nerve issue that can be treated with rest and some physical therapy

Which is why playing him raises suspicion and makes people skeptical. Just rest him already.
