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

[Negrodamus]

Not surprised. Brett told me the other week and I posted it here.

So far reports on Fultz sounds good. Biid said he looked great. Even said Fultz was dominating. And for BB to slide Ben to PF just shows his confidence on Fultz.

Cant wait for fultz-ben PnR!

Did Brett also tell you when we are expected to see him play?

Hahahaha

He told me.. time like everything is just an illusion only injuries and pain are real.

F2G = Feb 2 im game

I’ll be pissed if he plays February 2. I’m going to the Nets game on the 31st.

Just one more page and we will have more threads for Fultz than the number of games he played.

What a debacle

Over or under?

60% of the total posts in this forum for the last 3 years are about Noel, Okafor and Fultz.

Saric has only 40+ pages ever since he decided to play for us

What is up with his guide hand being on the front of the ball instead of the side?





His left hand is also pushing the ball out when he shoots. Why is the trainer allowing that to continue?

Agree. Your guide hand should either be on the side or preferably on the bottom. It should have as little influence on the shot as possible. I've played plenty of competitive basketball, but certainly not pro or even college level.
With that shooting form, he will never sustain a good percentage.

Nice reaction gif. You have any useful info or is this the extent of your contribution ? If so, why bother ? Don't be a hater.

Useful info for what? I'm not a shooting coach or anyone who has played basketball at a high enough level to thoroughly critique his shooting form. I certainly don't consider my trips to the YMCA and my games of 2k as "plenty of competitive basketball" but that's just me. Certain people have no problem giving critiques despite never gripping an actual spalding.

If it looks good it looks good if it looks bad it looks bad. Insistently talking about hand placement, hitches, one shot motion/2 shot motion when you've never touched a basketball in your life is weird to me which is why I find all the shot doctoring across social media strange.

I speak from experience. Just because you never played organized basketball in school ever and play a lot of NBA2K doesn't mean everyone else is like YOU. You don't see anything wrong with his form because you don't have experience in that area. I'm sure
you have experience in something else, but from what it sounds like, not this. Others do. Not everyone does the same things in life.

What a debacle

What debacle? He's getting close to returning and being the perfect compliment to Simmons and Embiid.

I think I speak for everyone when I say no one cares about your basketball career. You're hardly the only person on this board that has played organized basketball, it's just that most people have the sense to know that doesn't make them some sort of authority, or if it does they should have the communication skills to explain the issue without citing the time they scored 10 points in a game on JV.

Also you could probably grab someone from an island in the pacific that has never seen basketball before and have them watch Fultz and they would say "yeah his shot is jacked."

Moving on...

[the_process]

At this point, I think I want the Sixers to just trade him and then fire BC so this forum can be done with it all

It’s kinda depressing, honestly. At least they didn’t choke again last night. When is the “Man of Action” going to shore up the bench? (Larry Drew doesn’t count.)

Also, kudos to the team for getting Jason Kidd fired. Totally taking credit for that one, since their owner took a shot at the Sixers and then got his *** handed to him.

All due respect, gdog, but every time I check in on this thread you're claiming some sort of knowledge or insight into the Fultz situation that only a medical specialist who's examined him extensively could know. Not sure you've earned the right to play the 'stay in your lane and let the experts speak' card.

I've been convinced. He's better than Bradley Beal. The next Dwayne Wade.

To be fair.. LeBron plays 2k to simulate in game lineups so don't undervalue 2k.

[Kobblehead]

I wonder if we'll get news that he'll return post-All-Star break.

LeBron probably edits the attributes of Tristan, J.R. and Iman to rationalize (in his own mind) the ridiculous contracts he mandated they'd get, a few years back.

He already traded Tristan, JR, Iman and 2 2nd rounders for Paul George, Ferguson, Huestis and Collison.

[Kobblehead]

I wonder if he went into the create-a-player mode and made Boobie Gibson. And then gave him a custom tattoo that said "Bron Bron's release valve."
