He’s still not done yet hopefully This year was his first season that he played over 25 games and he was alright He just needs to get his shot right so it can open up the rest of his game

[@Tatizelenko2004]

[@BirdGang6]

He really had everything it took to be special, he was huge for his size, had great play making instincts, a very pretty and effective jump shot, crafty ness around the rim and a ton of defensive potential, he averaged almost a block a game at UW. This was the kid that Magic Johnson fell in love with after one work out. When he was healthy the hype was real

[@moneyman4740]

Had it all , lot of hingsight guys wanna act like they knew he wasnt gon be what we thought he was , no way u watched him this year and say “yea he aint it” He’s playing better now but ofcourse without the unfortunate injuries he was a star no doubt , he also needed a team he could run the show , he never fit Philly i said that as soon they traded for that pick

[@GoZags43]

Fultz was one of the most uniquely skilled big guards college basketball has seen in the last 20+ years. He was slightly unorthodox with his movements, which caught defenders way off guard. He would explode immediately on the catch usually in the opposite way the defender assumed. He had an unbelievable feel for when defenders were just a millimeter off balance. His handle was otherworldly creative even if it could be just the tiniest bit loose sometimes. It’s like Fultz combined the old man savvy game of an Andre Miller with solidly above average overall athleticism for a PG, ESPECIALLY a 6’4-6’5 PG with strength. For that size he was unbelievably quick and FLEXIBLE. He would get down into unbelievably low angles with his knees nearly scraping the floor on his blow bys. He had an incredible floater game and finishing package, and that combined with his phenomenal mid range touch and high IQ gave him the Andre Miller like savvy/ability. He was an incredibly creative playmaker who had a really really high passing IQ and would see passes others simply couldn’t. He also could execute those passes better than most PGs through skill and using his height to his advantage. Lastly he had a really good looking pull up game from the college 3pt line even if his shot wasn’t technically sound or necessarily consistent overall. He made 40% of his college 3s on good volume, especially off the dribble volume. It was fair to question whether his 3pt jumper would translate because he shot at the apex of his jump, was a two motion shooter, and had a backwards lean as well, all poor signs for really good NBA 3pt shooting when the line is several feet deeper. The only REAL question on his offensive Resumé was his FT percentage was low. Again, this made his jump shot translation fairly questionable, but the 40% number made people optimistic. His defense was atrocious, but it was a Lorenzo Roman coached team, one of the the worst coaches in D1 basketball at the time. He was a phenomenal recruiter though. The whole UW team lacked any cohesion or overall theory of how they should play, and as a team they couldn’t defend an NAIA school. BUT Fultz was a very good defensive playmaker with his IQ and athleticism. He just gambled constantly because he wasn’t coached to be fundamentally sound at UW. All that’s to say it should be OBVIOUS why Fultz was the top prospect in that draft. He was an UNBELIEVABLE and unbelievably UNIQUE talent. He wasn’t an ELITE (Lebron Zion Tim Duncan Oden KD Luka) level prospect IMO or even a 2nd tier (AD Towns Dwight maybe a couple more I’m forgetting off the top of my head), but he was DEFINITELY that next level of prospect, which is a good number one overall pick level player.

[@njshabangu]

Every once in awhile I fall into the rabbit hole of watching Fulton in college for hours. Man he could’ve been something special!

[@timflynn2666]

Being a sixers fan aside, I feel so bad for Markelle. Before whatever the hell happened to him he was a special special scorer. Could truly hit every shot on the floor

[@Supermariohoops24]

He had a pinched shoulder nerve that they told him was nothing too bad to play on, so he did… but it hurt him to shoot, which is why he only did it if he needed to. He’s starting to get back to things though in Orlando

[@Danxiong]

What a silky smooth jumper he had.

[@Goofbirdent]

He’s starting to play like this again. Outside of the pull up 3 he plays like this with ORL but under better control

[@The101surfer]

Without the pull-up three threat, not the same player...fact. Hope he can regain that confidence and ability. Such a fun player to watch

[@evanneal7604]

Yes, he has an uncanny way of getting to the Basket, but his jumpshot in college was on, for whatever reason he doesn't has the elevation or his form.

[@Vortex_Feedz]

@@evanneal7604 they purposely fucked up his shot. I can’t even explain it here tbh, it’d take too long. They say it’s cuz he had a motorcycle accident , but that’s not the truth🥱

[@GoZags43]

@@Vortex_Feedz They didn’t “purposefully fuck up” his shot. They may have tried to alter his form and had it backfire big time, but they wouldn’t ruin their top draft pick on purpose. The forgotten thing though is that Fultz shot WAY better than what his actual “level” was as a shooter in that one college season. He was NOT a true 40% 3pt shooter. He was slightly better off the dribble than off the catch weirdly, but his form absolutely couldn’t withstand the added distance of the NBA 3. He shot at his apex. He didn’t get added power from it being a one motion shot. It was a two motion shot at the apex of his jump where he leaned back. The college 3pt line was the limit for his jumper as it was. Also he was a bad FT shooter, which is a really bad sign for NBA 3pt shooting.

[@Vortex_Feedz]

@@GoZags43 “Wondering if it was worth it or not I pray for Markelle 'cause they fucked up his shot” J cole lyrics in A lot by 21 savage. When he says “they”, he means the industry. If you don’t know what the industry is , then you’ll have to stroll down that path yourself. They don’t give a fuck that he was a top pick , it’s a money game , and they the ones on top.

@@jazon345 that doesn’t make much sense...jumper was drip. Pull up 30 footer vs Stanford straight proof. Not saying you’re wrong, just sayin trainer was wrong. Four years later, his jumper has regressed completely, he hasn’t TAKEN a jumper outside of 20 feet in four years. I am 55 years old and have smoother jumper than Markelle...that’s messed up. Look at how much Lamelo or Lonzo have improved their jumpers...in one year. Markelle is impossible to not root for. But, some things may not be meant to be. 🙏🏻 for Kelle

Obviously everything is clearer in hindsight but at the time it was almost clear. Three level scorer, solid athleticism, good playmaker and rebounder for his size, great finisher around the rim I mean offensively he checked all the boxes. Looking at Tatum now tho I mean SHIT😂😂😂
