He's fine. He'll be back soon. Not only is he the best prospect, but he fills the one position the sixers have NOBODY (TJ is a nice backup, that 's it).

It's difficult to assess a player even after their rookie contract (4 years), let alone in december of his first year when he hasn't even played healthy yet.

This guy processes.

Are we on week 2 right now for Fultz? Does that mean next week will be the re-evaluation? We sure could use some guard help/depth right about now.

If its hard to assess a player even after their rookie contract, how are you so sure Markelle Fultz is the best prospect? How did you come to that assessment?

He resumed strength training during this 3 week stretch.
Next 3 week stretch, he'll resume basketball drills.
The 3 week stretch after that, he'll resume 5 on 0 practice.
The 3 week stretch after that 3 week stretch, he'll resume activity in a full-scrimmage setting.
The 3 week stretch after all those 3 week stretches, he'll play in games on a minutes restriction.
Stretch 3 of week the.....I give up.

Yeah why even unlock this? Judging off the first few post it looks like the quality of posting will continue to decline.

The streamable video on the previous page shows the vid. It was instagram.

Nice post. Sometimes it takes an outsider to shed some light on a situation.

Well he was the consensus number 1 pick. You act as if that is such a crazy thing to think he's the best rookie prospect.

I'm not familiar with the sources that made up this consensus you mention. Nearly every NBA person I heard discussing the draft mentioned other players as the #1 player in this past draft.

Ok if he wasn't the consensus #1 who was?

Fultz was definitely the consensus number 1 pick, but that doesn’t mean that everyone agreed. It just means that he would get more votes than any other player.

I don't know who the consensus #1 pick was. Nobody employed by an NBA front office (except for Danny Ainge) said who they would have picked #1. But we do know who Colangelo had #1.

There's a difference between people being impatient and people having an agenda.

Sometimes its best to use a little common sense.

Fultz being anointed as the consensus #1 was always contrived.

Delving deep into last year's class, there wasn't much separation among the 1-and-dones.

Same thing with this upcoming draft. There's a handful of really good prospects. If mock draft culture tries to proclaim one is above the rest, it's just them setting the narrative and shouldn't be taken with validity.
