Will he start or come the bench?
Bench. Hasn't earned it. In the sense that his style doesn't yet fit between Ben and Joel.
Fultz has to convert his game from dribble-to-shoot to shoot-to-dribble.
Although talented in his own regard, he was not the fit with Ben that BC touted him to be. There was no reason to trade up (especially with cap space and Korkmaz in the pocket, and a bunch of studs still on the board). I digress.
Changing his shooting stroke for whatever reason did not help. As mentioned above, he looked great in summer league. Brett Brown mentioned his shoulder hurting more than he's letting on. Wonder if he had something like a dirtbike accident or something else "stupid" he doesn't want to disclose? Again, I digress.
Playing off of TJ on the second unit, learning from Redick in practice should help Fultz get comfortable working the catch and shoot first, then dribble penetration off of it.
Would be great if he seizes a starting job by Christmas.
To be honest though, I think its a little more likely Dario keeps stroking the bean and forces himself into the starting lineup by Decmber.
We go huge and beast the league!!! Ben Simmons, JJ Redick, Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Joel Embiid.
Lord help the league if we'd have Nerlens and Jerami on the second unit. But, again... I digress.
Go Sixers!
