Markelle Fultz Discussion III: For Fultz and going forward (see 2017 draft thread for trade discussion)

[CoreyGallagher]

The BS update coupled with the videos of his bricking 3 pt shots is nearly worst case scenario.

He took one three and I'm not sure how anybody could watch that and view it as an actual shot indicative of anything. He did a lazy jab step before doing a lazy pump fake, and then he didn't even jump into his shot. Was obviously not a serious shot attempt.

Can we rename this thread to "Sixers fans being drama queens" mods? I think it's more apropos.

People whine about everything. If you wanna bitch about the team losing games, but this is so badly reaching, the dude looks absolutely fine and it's a shoot around. The guy is healthy, he'll be back in a few weeks and let's go out and get those W's

[BigSleep333]

yeah the form still looks weird af. lets see how it works in games.

i see the chances his shot is still hot garbage at 80 % and if thats the case, he had 100 % no injury at all.

how about using your eyes. that shot looks uglier than chris kaman.

you can be "positive" all you want, but you are ignoring reality.

lol I'm the only one living in reality. I feel like I'm in a Black Mirror episode. His shot looks totally fine. It's the same as it was at UW

you must have pretty low standards for "totally fine" then. that looks like he dislocates his shoulder to shoot that ****.

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.

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?

Stop making too much sense.

[LongLiveHinkie]

lmao It looks nothing like that, you are being insufferable.

[Negrodamus]

Read on Twitter

Free throws in that one. If you slow it down, it doesn't look too bad.

[LongLiveHinkie]

Yep, love the FT form. Haters and trolls won't be about it though.

Not to be bragadocious, but I've pretty much been on the money with everything regarding Fultz in this entire thread. Had his return date pegged to mid January to early Feb. Said all along his shoulder pain was a legit issue.

Just TTP on this one(trust the prophet).

[CoreyGallagher]

The team putting the video out there makes me assume he's closer to return than not.

[XDevilBoiX]

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 legit just posted on instagram showing him at Chic -Fil-A.

dude is about that life

Why he needs weeks to get back in basketball shape.

[Mik317]

I think his shot may just look a little weird in general actually...which is what is throwing people off. Its better than the trash juice from before...and as long as they eventually go in, he can be out there Shawn Marion-ing it for all I care...just get back out there and give us another scoring option (inefficient as it may be).

[cksdayoff]

his new free throw form is nothing like the one at UW. looks like he's shooting them flatfooted now, and a lower release point. i guess less moving parts the better, for at least the free throws.

how could you or anyone knew if this was a legit issue. we dont even know there ever was one.

just curious, at what point do you get anxious with fultz? i mean i would die to have that confidence with fultz as i had it with embiid, but i dont know what reasons he or this whole mess gives you to think everything is tuttifrutti.

1) he was a 65% ft-shooter at college..and before you come up with his college 3 numbers..that sample is too **** small. also, its college 3's so basically long 2's.
2) weirdest injury/rehab time for soreness i have EVER witnessed
3) horrible value with the trade. tatum looks like a player and we just handed the **** celtics a top5 pick on top of that.

Because that's what I do. I drink and I know things.

I'm one of those dudes who just knows a lot of **** about a lot of things, not to pat myself on the back or whatever.

I can't think of a scenario where I'd be anxious with Fultz. I have the utmost confidence in him, and praise Zeus everyday we traded up to get him. The thing about me and a big reason I'm way ahead of the pack on most things is because I don't buy into hype or propaganda. I form my own opinions and I'm not influenced. So when everyone else is being manipulated by Boston's propaganda over Tatum, when our "offensively inept" Ben Simmons who has no jumper is still a better scorer than, I look at things as they are.

Like I said before in this very thread, people just need to stay off social media. It causes more harm than it does good. If you stayed off social media you wouldn't be brainwashed by the Tatum propaganda, wouldn't be fretting about Fultz. All's good in the hood man, he'll be back in a few weeks and it'll be time to ball.

I think you are letting your pre-draft feelings on Fultz take control of the narrative a bit here.

You never believed in him so of course this whole thing was a farce to add to the pile of reasons you don't like him.

The only concerning thing is that he JUST started practicing and thats kinda lame...but that really doesn't change much.

As much as I poorly joked earlier, I think yet again there is a middle ground here that is much closer to the truth than him being a headcase or the team lying to us all the tiiiime. His jumper looks about the same from summer league in that there is still some tweaking needed which is a bummer since he's been out for this long...but it looks waaaay better than it did preseason and he's actually taking them for one. So some good and some bad. And with this franchise, that is all we can expect at this point lol.

also people need to let the trade **** go....obsessing over it all the time cannot be healthy for you. It happened. It sucks...but it happened. All we can hope for now, is that the Lakers get their **** together OR it lands number 1 or they draft a bustlord w/ it. Only Negrodamus liked Tatum pre draft so I don't want to **** here people whine over not taking him, and the second part of the trade is still an unknown...but regardless...it happened. There is nothing we can do about it but hope Fultz is worth it OR we still get it via the lottery or its a bad pick. Beyond that constantly harping on about it all the time is pointless. (and yes the folks who whine about The Larry Hughes pick or the Turner pick or the Jah pick need to move on too.....**** happens. it blows but you gotta learn to live with it and try to look on the bright side). Yall are often a bunch of emo kids who only expect the worst case scenarios to happen...cheer up.

Even Stevie Wonder could see there was an issue. It was 100% obvious when watching him shoot foul shots.

For you and other haters and chicken littles on here to continually claim there is no injury or it's a fake injury is ridiculous and totally unsubstantiated.

And he was the consensus #1 prospect in the draft. Sure Tatum has been great, but we haven't seen what Fultz can do yet. Because he has been injured. Why shouldn't we be excited to see our #1 overall pick once he's healthy?

Try to let him play in a few games when healthy before proclaiming him a bust or whining how badly we got screwed on the trade.

You've been, oddly, patting yourself on the back for the past two pages of this thread.

some of these guys would rather be right than see a sixer become successful in turn which would lead to team success. smh
