I know he’s not shooting seriously, but I feel like his shot here isn’t as smooth as it was last year. Am I just looking to deep into it?
Oh god, it looks like he’s making fun of himself? That does not look good at all.
Right here I think you’re just reading too deep but in the games he played this year compared to the end of last year yes his shot has looked worse. It looked like the hitch was very minimal on the 3s last year at the end but it’s back. Now he also is doing a slight hitch in his mid range which he didn’t have last year.
My conspiracy theory lives!!
Yup
he is still only doing light shoot around work. Will he be gone for the next few weeks?
This is breaking my heart.
That is painful AF to watch. YES, is looks worse. He has looked off all season. If we only had someone that could show him how to shoot. /s
Looks trash
Uff that hitch looks way worse than before. Hopefully it’s because his knee hurts and he’s not using lower body at all and shooting with arms only.
Cmon fultz brother we can’t keep giving you these passes at some point the fan base is going to want to move on and your one of my favorite players on the team always have had your back.
Here we are again studying the minutiae of Fultz’ jump shot mechanics, while he is out injured.
Feels like madness at this point.
Y’all need to read up on what actually medically happened to this guy. Thoracic outlet syndrome is chronic, like Wendell’s plantar fasciitis. It’s going to get aggravated semi-regularly as he tries to do the thing that aggravates it, which is physically straining work with your arms raised high above your head. When it’s mellow, he can raise up easy with his legs from midrange and generate enough power and accuracy with his wrists to shoot well, like he did last season. When it’s bad, your arms go fucking NUMB when you lift them over your head due to the thoracic nerve getting pinched. I’ll bet he’s out for his knee publicly as well as his arm privately, because he has to have a fully functional lower body to give his arms a prayer.
Everyone is worried about the wrong thing with him. It’s not “can he improve,” which he’s shown he can. It’s “what’s the medical ceiling for him having sustained improvement.” That’s not mental, it’s like having a bulging disc in your spine. If this is what it looks like when he’s training to get to 3-point range, with setback after setback, then he’s screwed. It’s cosmically unfair to him, this is for his whole life most likely. But it’s not some kind of yips. Frankly that might be preferable.
dude there’s no way he’s shooting for real here if he his fuck man that looks so so bad
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP!
I think his shoulder is re-injured. This looks much, much worse than when we saw him on the court.
