Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
Sixers fans think he will figure it out and that him and Simmons will eventually become good shooters.
I tell them, you should talk to a Wolves fan who watched Rubio not be able to shoot for 6 fucking years and only then barely start to figure it out...
Jason Kidd took like 10 years to figure it out. Michael Jordan couldn't shoot until the second half of his career. If players do figure it out, it does not happen right away. I hope they are prepared to wait 5-8 years for Simmons and Fultz to figure it out.

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
and by that point they're already getting huge contracts (max at least for Simmons) that greatly hinder the supporting cast that can be put around them.Philo Beddoe wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:05 am Sixers fans think he will figure it out and that him and Simmons will eventually become good shooters.

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
Fultz is a weird one, he was such a productive player in college. For things to fall apart so spectacularly is without precedent. Although if given a proper run he can still be a 'do shit' player even if the jumper never comes back. That is if he doesn't pack it in due to whatever the hell is going on with him.
Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
Fultz also parted ways about three weeks ago with the guy he had been working with. The yips are back.

Pa said the Sixers offered Fultz but we wanted Saric.

This video and the other one show him making odd jerky movements and to me it looks like he has no control over it. Scary stuff.

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
I never got the hype on Fultz to begin with. It seems like there are very few that come out of these drafts and end up great anymore.
I never thought this guy was even worth a top 5 pick.

Well look at it this way, the Sixers offered the player they wanted to get rid of, we held out and got the guy they didn't want to give.LordNu wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 5:13 pmSeriously? Hmm.

If you don't want to trust Thibs, trust the Sixers front office than.

We already got 3 PGs in Teague, Rose, and Tyus. I think Thibs wants front court and shooting.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 1:27 pm Pa said the Sixers offered Fultz but we wanted Saric.

.......that, and we aint falling for that #1 pick (Anthony Bennett) hype again.

Fultz had this Dunn like hype....it was just bigger. At this point, I don't really like either of them.....certainly not as high as they were picked.

Well played....
Regardless, thibs barking and Fultz frazzled mind don’t seem a good combo.
Part of the reason I like Saric. He may not be overly athletic, but he is strong minded....and with TT at the helm, that is necessary.

Fultz sucks right now but I'm taking him 10/10 over Saric.

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
Yeah, what’s up with that?
I mean, a lot of frubes were riding Fultz’s jock. It was almost obscene.
I never saw it but maybe that video should finally convince them once and for all.

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
Fultz with a shot is a star...which is exactly what he was coming into the draft. To say you never saw how great of a prospect he was, is to say that you envisioned him just losing his shot out of nowhere. Just a bizarre story for him so far.Keith_Morrison wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 8:37 pm Yeah, what’s up with that?

Re: It's a good thing we didn't get Fultz
I feel for the guy. I rally do. His shooting coach should be fucking ashamed. Then murdered.
Just remember there is a ton of evidence on a ton of you that claimed we needed to get him in a Butler deal. Might be incentive for you to let it go and enjoy the now.
