We also saw Lonzo Ball and Josh Jackson look competent in SL so there is that.

Lonzo Ball flings his shot and had problems shooting in SL. Range should have always been an issue especially considering he often takes a step back and ends up shooting deep past the 3PT line.

There is no reason to question Fultz range. None.

Yup.

Also, Jackson could be putting up numbers in PHX. They are just tanking and running bizarro lineups every other night.

Whoa buddy I'm just playing devils advocate here. I have no issues short/long term about Fultz as a player in the NBA aside from just personally wanting to see him on the court. He was clearly the best prospect in the draft and still is in my opinion. I'm just saying SL is worthless in many respects.

The "majority"? You mean the actual draft experts that nearly all had Fultz going #1.

Guess there are a lot of stupid experts in the world... and the small minority just happen to know better. That's why they sit on forums not in $200,000k+ scouting roles at NBA clubs

I also think its even more hilarious given you spent nearly all of the last 12 months telling us on here what a bust Ben Simmons was going to be... Mr Expert With your track record I think Fultz is still a chance to make the all-star team.

was that really said ?? ben simmons a bust was really said?

Most people claimed Simmons was as can't miss as you can get

Zach LaVine practicing with the the Bulls G-League team. It's not too big for him, it shouldn't be for Fultz. Pull a Furkan and let him practice and lets see that old shot!

Friday there will be a piece on ESPN about Fultz rehab...

which is neat but the tinfoil hat in me wonders about Secret Snake Scot O'Neill's involvement in all of this ****

Portland Fan here. I read a article from Bill Simmons and there was a trade that brings CJ McCollum to the 76ers for Fultz, Saric and the 6ers 2018 pick unprotected. What are your oppinions on that please?

My opinion is you should start reading better articles.

Wouldn’t even trade Fultz for CJ 1 for 1.

but yall are crazy.

LongLiveHinkie · Post #352 » by **LongLiveHinkie** » Mon Dec 11, 2017 9:43 pm

That's a terrible trade and CJ McCollum has a stupid face. I'm against trading for anyone who has a stupid face.

Awful lol. Healthy 19 year old Markelle Fultz isn't far away from CJ today, and he'll be clearly better in 2 years (or less)

can not comment on that, never saw him play against nba competition.

If the Blazers want a star package in return, they're going to have to trade their star. Nobody is going to pay a Dame Lillard price for C.J. McCollum.

Getting half his shots blocked near the rim was great to you ? Guess we see things differently.

You realize he was getting them blocked because he couldn't lift his arm above his head right...?

You realize he lifted his arm over his head all the time right ? It may have been uncomfortable but he definitely lifted his arms over his head and then got stuffed.

Take the 1st round pick out and take back Jerryd Bayless, and I'd drive all of them to the Airport.

Yes we have. And from the small sample size I saw him being able to get to the rim at ease, pass, defend and run the p&r at a very high level. As shoulder returns to health and his shot returns he will be a force

I think someone said something to the effect that the G-League is beneath him. It's the only reason I posted about it. We scurry him off before the practice is open to the media. He's taking 3 weeks off after the team releases a statement about his shoulder being pain free.

The annoying part of this ridiculous saga is that it's easier to be blissfully ignorant to the absurdity and believe that this entire situation was only about his shoulder. So when he comes back and plays well (which everyone on this board is hoping for), there will be a handful of posters on here that will make it intolerable when they go on some self righteous witch hunt over the posters that have been skeptical over a very ambiguous situation.
