Looks like he can shoot, but the distance is a problem. I’m expecting to see him in the next game or two.

How long has he been back shooting jumpers. It’s only been a couple weeks right. It’s not like he’s been shooting this way for months. Let’s see how he looks in a month after some more playing.

Yeah even the 3 point shots look like they have better form, despite the horrible outcomes. These videos are very encouraging tbh.

Read on Twitter

This looks just as bad if not worse

Lmao okay that looks horrible. 3 pointer again. This is just so weird.

The difference between the midrange and 3pt shot is the biggest takeaway here.

That article actually makes me feel a little better... it looks like they are continuing to build his shot. What we're seeing are small snippets that are being hyper-analyzed. Sounds like he's got the 15 foot jumper and free throws down...Also sounds like the shoulder is fine, but some soreness at times... I'm sure it's not going to go back to scalpular imbalance... I'm sure they're watching that carefully...

This is the logical person speaking in me..

Honestly, I do feel better, with today's videos, but with it being the Sixers I could totally see him being shut down...

To think I was blasted for calling this organization exactly what it is and calling fultz exactly what he is.

This is the worst ran organization in all of sports worldwide. The patheticness of this entire thing is so massive that multiple people should be fired over this.

That shot is so atrocious and the fact they lied all this time and still his shot looks like that is mind boggling.

Like this teams staff legit knows nothing about bball, which I actually believe to be true. Fultz is 100% a mental midgit on top of it. He should go back to doing what made him the 1st pick, how unintelligent and low iQ does fultz have to have to continue down this path?

Oh well, my jaguars are in the AFC championship game and they play with heart n passion and blake bortles takes hate from all around yet continues to win games unlike fultz who runs away behind a fake injury.

Sixers are a joke. But I got my jags and soon to be 3rd ranked purdue boilermakers mens bball team.

Sixers, screw u

Excuse? What exactly was I excusing?

Shouldn't you be somewhere shouting racial slurs at outfielders?

What a childish response from a mod

maybe if we didn't have an infestation of celtics fans coming on the board to concern troll, he would be in a better mood. Read the room, there is a time and place for everything. You guys are so self conscious that you constantly seek validation from other sources.

move on

Yea this was a good read. Seems like everyone acknowledges that his shot from distance still isn’t where the team or Fultz wants it to be, but it’s trending in the right direction. Brett said he won’t put him out there until his shot passes the eye test. Seems like everyone is on the same page. Looks like we just may need to wait a little longer than expected. Nothing new for our team lol.

If the plan is to hold him out until after the all-star break, I wish the front office would just be forthright with us. Which is a big ask, I know.

Quite honestly I don't even think they know when he will be ready, so no use putting dates on anything.

The last thing I want is him being out there unable to shoot and all the vultures that are already circling on this forum and on social media going into full attack mode and "I told you so". If he has to sit out the year, sit out the year. If he has to have an operation (which according to shoulder specialists could end up being the case if it doesn't heal with Physio) then get him in for that.

Guys, I was about ready to cry when I saw the video of him airballing the baseline jumper. However, I read the Crossing Broad piece and watched the videos in it, and I noticed that his pullup jumper looks a LOT better than the set shots. The pull up still isn't what you see on the Washington Huskies highlight vids, but significantly better.

Fultz is shooting those long distance and 3's almost exactly like TJ McConnell used to last year... which is with trying to shot put the ball into the hoop to get the distance.

I'll assume at this stage it is because he doesn't have the strength and repetition up in that shoulder to shoot it more fluently. It's good that his short jumper looks nice. Just needs to work on that form and gradually going further and further back to build up his strength until he is eventually shooting it from 3 distance.

76ciology · Post #1678 » by **76ciology** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 2:06 am

His poor mechanics is whenever he needs extra strength to shoot longer shots. Ouch!

The good thing here is you're seeing him shoot 3s, unlike before. So he's in the right direction.

Negrodamus · Post #1679 » by **Negrodamus** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 2:38 am

When Fultz was in college, he wasn't really bombing from well beyond the three point line. I think there would have still been a pretty large adjustment on his shot either way.

Yeah. Thats also what i some sort said like months ago. I kinda feel he need to change mechanics for long term shooting prowess.

ITS JUST SUPER WEIRD.
