re: Markelle Fultz’s range currently is “Within the Paint”

I've read that the 6ers have a lot to do with him changing his shot.

That has never been suggested

to be fair, simmons and fultz werent thought of as injury risks when they were drafted

I remember getting into an argument questioning that I would take Porzingis and Embiid ahead of Ball and Fultz

Red flag #1, he led his team to 9 wins in college. And I'm pretty sure they were the 9 worst teams on the schedule.

What is crazy is that the 76ers have drafted three players in the top 3 (Embid, Simmons, and Fultz) and I have a better chance of making an uncontested 12 ft jump shot than any of the three.

I take it you haven't watched much of the 6ers?

Here’s the current jumpshot

I have no idea what his shot was like before the change, but the motion in the new one looks fine to me. The tough part will be the wrist flick direction and timing. Making it consistent on every shot despite how much effort the shot requires to reach the basket. He needs to learn how to shoot with strength from anywhere on the floor within that motion.

Good thing is, it's a natural stroke. So he should be ok in a few months.

I overhauled my shot in the 9th grade, took me several months to get the bad form out, but I was a much better shooter afterwards.

He will be fine. If he is motivated enough to make it so.

Son, have you seen Embiid shoot?
He has legit range for a big man.

he does for a big man, but his still shooting less than 80% from the free throw line

Remember when people said Boston was stupid for passing over him?

I remember.
