Guessing he is being over dramatic about watching the latest clip of Markelle's crooked arm hesi pull up jimbo shot that clanked the side of the rim.

If his pull-up is back to normal - shooting above his head - which the two videos inside the arc seem to demonstrate, then it seems to be back to how it was in SL. Well, some attempts were more fluid than others, but he just has a lower release from further away.

Also, this is a really weird shot to be dissecting, he was obviously not trying to shoot it pretty. Seemed to be winding down and pump faked, then just chucked it.

I really appreciate you saying this as I was debating whether to say something. Suicidal thoughts, whether caused by mental illness, depression, whatever, are no joke.

That shot is broken. Seems blatantly obvious.

I think his longer jump shots looked like quite a bit higher if you compare it to the recent practice videos or do I have some vision issues?

We don't have many practice videos, think his inside the arc shots are fluid and look exactly like they did in the SL video. Think his pump faked three point shot had a hitch, but the release looks similar to how it did to begin SL, later in SL he looks more fluid, tho.

Now that Fultz's jumper is back I suspect game shape is the only thing standing in his way. And general team chemistry and fitting back in with the schemes.

With his conditioning being a question, I'm pretty sure you won't be seeing anymore articles on how much this guy loves Chick-Fil-A anymore. That is only funny when your in shape and killing it on the floor. Kind of like if someone posts something about how they just cant quit eating chocolate on facebook, if they are thin and in shape, its funny and cute. If their obese its perceived wayyyyy different.

He missed most of his shots that we saw, but can you imagine being the number one pick and an entire fan base is anxiously waiting to see you shoot a ball? I’d probably miss everything too.

My god his shot is still broken as hell and if most werent homers they would admit it

At this point he needs to b on the floor and sink or swim.. but this is awful looking

It amazes me what happens with young guys on this team in terms of development

I honestly don't mean to troll another team's board, and just came here to lurk, but really? Some twitter videos are posted of 3 Fultz jumpers, all 3 of them were bricked, and one looked horrendous, another looked bad, and the third looked mediocre despite being from only 12 feet, and from that you declare his jumper back?

Fultz will probably suffer a "setback" soon and sit out for the remaining season to fix his shot

I can't believe people are taking today as good news. The BS update coupled with the videos of his bricking 3 pt shots is nearly worst case scenario. The guy appears to be a head case. And I don't mean that in an insulting way. Some people just over think and have bad anxiety and aren't able to perform under immense pressure. So far there are many signs this is the case with Fultz. I hope not for his sake and ours.
