Markelle Fultz Discussion II

Kobblehead wrote:The front office blamed the form change. Fultz's camp said it was already sore before he tinkered with his shot. Brett Brown isn't going to undermine his bosses and he's not going to throw his player under the bus. He's taking the middle ground.

If it's a "form change" why didn't he attempt his new form at all in games? It's quite clearly an injury that the team thought was insignificant enough to play through.

Take your time. We got this. Just make sure you don't shoot like Lonzo when you return or else we'll have to add you As a throw in on the Okafor deal

I saw the three of them biking in LA in an Instagram story, would be incredible if he'll work with Hanlen in the future. Guy did wonders for many guards, Bradley Beal, Kelly Oubre and Jordan Clarkson improved so much regarding their ball handling and shot creation ability.

Is this your source as well or did someone explicitly say so?

And, everyone’s favorite rookie, Jayson Tatum.

I don't see it? I only see him mentioning Markelle after a game between University of Washington and Hanlen's college team.

He's likely talking about this tweet, which is a pretty good catch.

best prospect in the draft

JojoSlimbiid · Post #1410 » by **JojoSlimbiid** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 5:17 pm

Even knowing the shoulder issue i make that trade 100% of the time. Look at some of trash other teams are left with. Fully heathy guys who dont look like nba players

It is not like we are new to rookies having injuries. It is part of the process. You just have to trust it.

the Ringer is OK just as long as you remember its DNA. i liked how Markelle looked in SL and i like how he moved on the court at the start of the season. i DON'T trust our medical staff being wholly transparent about medical issues (at least when Hinkie gave a rare, succinct update, it was accurate.), but i'm assuming that his shoulder issue is transitory, and once his scapula is properly aligned and strengthened that Markelle will be able to shoot at least to the level he exhibited prior to the Fall. and like the article almost says, if he can do that, he's fine.

complete offensive player, to go along with his measurables. and we saw glimpses of what he can be on the defensive end.

He was a pretty complete college scorer, however I don't think he has the quickness or burst in his game to transfer what we saw in college to the NBA. I'm not sure Fultz will be one of the 10 best players in this class.

no, he's not speedy, or strong, or have world class hops. IF he succeeds (after at least getting back his Summer League shot) he'll do it by silky moves to the right spots, which he seems to have a knack for, even playing with a bum shoulder. he somehow manages to slip by and between defenders like an opossum. of course, we've also seen them catch up from behind and squash his shots at the rim, so he's got to figure that as well.

yeah, he may not be one of the 10 best. this year is a tricky draft class. but he could be. and he could be a good fit for us. man, i hope so.

I hope so...I wasn’t initially in favor of the trade, but we needed another shooter. Let’s hope he gets his shot together and reaches his upside.

Fultz on Instagram posted “I’ll be back soon!”

Can’t wait. I just want to see what we have.

His ability to weave through traffic and finish at the rim, even with a bung shoulder, was very exciting.

Really looking forward to his return.
