Markelle Fultz gets rid of shooting coach Drew Hanlen

[pimpineasy]

This nikka better start talkin to D Wade after this year when he retires because when he is right, him and wade have a similar style.

Prime Wade wasnt an elite shooter but was real effective.

Huh????
Dude prime d Wade is top 3 slashing guard ever.
No way fultz is close to that.
Wade was a rebounding machine .hound on d . And would slash and back cut. Not a fair xomparisco.

 

[pimpineasy]

This has to be some kind of nerve damage. Makes no sense.

I think he suffered a Jason williams type bike injury.
Prob some nerve damage.
He is trying to compensate but can't .
The simpler explanation is usually the right one .
He didn't forget to play .
Nor is he on the spectrum .
It's obvious to me

 

[Yayo Toure]

read the thread. ain't nothing normal about this shyt

Oh shyt this is wild.

I have a colleague that treated him before, I'd ask about him, and we are cool but HIPAA all day.

 

[Kang Deezy]

He didn't. The whole mental health angle is off. Fultz never displayed ANY of this shyt until he got hurt somewhere between the draft and training camp last year.

It's clear something went down, whether the injury was misdiagnosed/mistreated by the team, whether he withheld information from the team, etc.. the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Tell me why Danny Ainge met with Fultz predraft and traded the pick the second they dropped fultz off at the airport

 

[Take It In Blood]

Ya'll keep running with this mental issue/Tourettes narrative about dude, but did he display any off these "hitches" & "tics" last year or at Washington, because I don't remember seeing any.

Would it be insensitive if NBA2K put in a patch that made him glitch like that occasionally?

 

[Dwight Howard]

I mean look at some of the symptoms of it and we have seen him exhibit quite a few of these. but it’s way easier to say it’s a sports related injury...But elite level athletes like him do tend to always have a high level of confidence I’ve never seen someone with his skill level so meek and lacking of confidence look how he carries himself.

People may experience:
Behavioral: aggression, compulsive behavior, fidgeting, impulsivity, repetitive movements, social isolation, or persistent repetition of words or actions
Muscular: inability to combine muscle movements, poor coordination, or tic
Mood: anger, anxiety, or apprehension
Also common: depression, intense interest in a limited number of things, learning disability, nightmares, or sensitivity to sound

I’m not a doctor or In the medical field at all but the young brother is kind of unique. And if he does have aspergers I’m positive he can get top level support but I wonder if they even checked him for something like that....If I recall he wasn’t a great student either was he?

That would’ve been diagnosed a long time ago

 

[mbewane]

Is it me, or does his shoot look more fluid when he's shooting off the dribble? He had one of those against the Heat and it looked way better than his FTs/spot-up jumpshots.

 

[BigE214]

The Mavericks should offer a Devin Harris and a second rounder for him. I'm sure they can get his shot back on track.

Having a different shooting form every time you shoot is likely overthinking or even worse, some type of brain damage. I hear about the dirt bike shyt but never saw a link. But the fact he can shoot off the dribble, but can’t standstill would indicate it’s something mental

DIDNT ONE OF COLANGELOS BURNERS SAY HE GOT INTO A 4 WHEELER ACCIDENT
THE SUMMER HE WAS DRAFTED?

[The God Poster]

I wanna laugh but it really do seem like he got some type of injury still

 

[swyyyguy]

How are Fultz's issues not his fault?

[NoMorePie]

Shooting coaches are fukkin useless...unless he knows how to shoot 97% from the field I’m not sure how they truly improve someone’s game ..especially kids that have been playing ball since they were young

Essentially all they do is rebound and tell the person how many shots they made right?
