The Mishandling of Markelle Fultz

The Ringer (02/12/2018)
  • 2017 NBA Draft Pick Markelle Fultz (#1 Philadelphia 76ers) has only played 4 games this season.
  • Although the team announced that his shoulder injuries were resolved (December), officials can’t explain why he isn’t playing.
  • Recently leaked videos showed Fultz badly missing shots with a significantly impaired shooting form.
  • Draft scouts praised Fultz for his fluid, efficient jump shot in college (1 year at University of Washington).
  • Some speculate that he injured himself by trying to change his shooting mechanics.
  • Sixers GM said that Fultz is “relearning how to shoot”.
