Not in the camp that thinks the kid is done. But yeah with Simmons and Embiid clicking I don't think they'll have the patience to wait for Fultz to pan out. Especially with colangelo on the helm. No reason the trade fultz but all his projections was assuming as he's the main guy. Feel bad for the kid with his opportunity. Definitely not with the $$$ though
He was actually projected to be complementary piece next to Simmons and Embiid as a floor spacer and someone who could create his own shot in the final seconds of a shot clock. By no means the "main piece" of this roster.
Not sure why Fultz is "cooked" because Brett Brown opts for a more experienced point guard in an extremely physical PO in his rookie year (and having just 10 games of experience in the NBA). Him getting his shot back over the next (two) summer(s) will dictate whether he'll have a role in Philly as a starting guard.
The fact that Fultz needs to prove and get his shot back to have a starting role with the 76ers roster is a bad outlook. Colangelo paid a ton to get him in a draft class that has shown one of the best in this era. IMO Fultz will be a starter, but how he'll keep that will be dictated by his development.
Oh absolutely, a player who suddenly forgets how to shoot while creating shots for himself is never ideal. Agree with all the things you said, his development will dictate his future impact and therefore stating that he's already "cooked" is weird.
