What.... is going on with Markelle Fultz?

[Malta]

His form looks decent off the dribble, but goes completely out the window when he's stationary. His shot was fine in summer league, off the dribble or catch and shoot but they said it was a slow release and it looks like he tried to change to a more Curry like push shot that starts right in front of your face and completely fukked it up.

The Markelle Fultz Mystery

Theory 3. Dude lost confidence and tried to reinvent his shot and lost everything

he's completely rebuilding that shot and i'm like why

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

He does this happen? The shoulder injury, nerve problems?

 

[Left.A1]

This whole situation is crazy

 

[High quality poster]

I honestly don’t think he wants to play for philly

It's about to be February and this nikka is practicing pump fakes

Just sit his ass out for the season because this shyt is just embarrassing

It's not nerve problems, he may have hurt his shoulder but you don't completely lose your form because of a hurt shoulder. There have been plenty of guys who have injured their shooting shoulders whether it's dislocations or sprains and some who needed surgery, they didn't need to rebuild their shots.

He changed his shot between the draft and summer league, it looked good but was a little slow. They tried to change his shot again between Summer league and the start of the season and completely fukked it up, that is the most likely reason why this happened. The team is clearly drawing a line in the sand and saying Fultz and his trainer did it too, which is why they're sort of like

Looks normal again.

Am I missing something?

His form looks fine off the dribble, but he can't shoot stationary shots, his form goes to shyt when he has to shoot off the catch.

So it has to be all mental then right? The shot mechanics don’t change enough from stationary to off the dribble in the upper body to cause this correct?

I don't think it's mental, he simply lost his form and is trying to find it again. I think some of the problem is that they were trying to change his freethrow form, and that somehow found it's way into his normal mechanics, whoever his trainer is should be let go immediately though. You can't have someone working with him trying to change his shot like that, he's a professional but at the end of the day he is only 19 and probably just did whatever the trainer said. His form was fine before, a little slow but you could speed that up, it takes a moron to suggest reworking the shot completely in 3 months.
