Will we ever know the truth about Fultz? 

Post#1 » by Ryoga Hibiki » Sun May 22, 2022 9:46 am

I think the way Fultz forgot how to shoot, turning his biggest strength into his major weakness is the weirdest development since I watch the NBA (excluding off the court stuff).
I have read different rumours, from a motorcicle injury to the hips to him deciding to change his mechanics to this misterious disease it was supposedly diagnosed him... will we ever know what the heck happened?

It doesnt matter what happened, because he will be judged on what he does in the league. Injuries or not, he needs to prove himself. If he is capable, he will.

There's no mystery. He had Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

We just learned that Jermaine O'neal left Miami because he was more interested in cookies than a championship. With all the podcasts and time we have, the whole story will come out sooner or later.

Its very unlucky, because in college Fultz could create space for jump shots better than anyone, like James Harden but more athletic :o

He 100% had it; he was diagnosed with it.

Apparently, there was something wrong with his nervous system. With the nerves between his neck and his armpit.

He had Tos, he spoke about it recently, saying he never changed his shot, just started losing feeling of his arms on certain angles which is why he had the double pump free throw, he couldn't feel the ball when shooting.

He starts talking about his Tos around the 27:30 mark:

Very frustrating as an Orlando Magic fan (selfishly).

I hope he can overcome whatever happened

Fultz never had an NBA three point shot.

Do we even believe Jamal Murray actually had an ACL injury, how did it arrive out of nowhere?

He wouldn't be a Magic if he didn't have this issue.

He was never that good. He was a bit of chubster in college, not that fast, not very good vision and so on. However it's absolutely true that issue he had affected his shot. But still fact remains he was not worth of first pick, even without stuff he had he would have been ultimately a first pick bust. Looking back he probably had talent to be in top 10 but definitely not first pick worthy. I don't even get why he was picked over other guys, I guess league was hell bent to find new Stephen Curry so they saw a guy who could shoot a bit in college (most can with poor defenses of kids playing) and a bit better athlete. Fultz ultimately put up numbers on a bad team.

To me it was always clear guy like Tatum was far better prospect. Big, pretty good shooter and with ball handling ability (just a bit slow for his size). Just what you want from today's wing.

He did not 100% have anything anymore than Ben Simmons “required” back surgery.

Fultz had college 3 range but zero at nba 3. When he tried to expand his range it broke his brain.

Happens to many shooters. I am Steph Curry at 16 feet and I am Ben Simmons/Chuck Hayes at 20 feet.

He's been through some stuff, but in the late season game against my Hornets he looked like the best player on the floor for them. He looked athletic and in-control. If he can bring that consistently his best days are ahead of him.
