And... Fultz is going back to the doctor to look at his shoulder. 

"76ers' 2017 No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz will see a specialist for his shoulder in New York within the next week"

At the recommendation of his lawyer of all people!

Markelle Fultz is scheduled to see a shoulder specialist early next week at the direction of his attorney, Raymond Brothers. Brothers says Fultz won’t participate in Sixers practices/games until after the specialist has a chance to evaluate him, as first reported by The Athletic.

Raymond Brothers is actually his agent.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

That would make a heckuva lot more sense.   Why the heck did Begley not just come out & saw agent then?  Odd.

Lawyer...agent....still strange for anyone to suggest Fultz go see a specialist and not play anymore until the specialist sees him that isn't a part of the Sixer training or medical staff.

This leads me to believe that Fultz fears everything wrong with him is physical and that he feels the Sixer medical staff has screwed up and have been forcing him to play through pain and change his shot to work around the pain.

Some reports suggest that the Sixers had no idea this was happening.

Sixers coach Brett Brown and general manager Elton Brand said they weren't aware of any issues with Fultz prior to Brand receiving a call from Brothers on Tuesday morning, saying that the 20-year-old guard would not be playing until at least next week.

"There's nothing we saw medically that didn't allow him to play," Brand told reporters after the team practiced at its Camden, New Jersey, facility Tuesday afternoon. "He played last night. He played two days ago.

"Ever since Jimmy Butler came [last week] and [Fultz] wasn't starting, I thought he played pretty well. I was proud of him the way he bounced back from a lot of things."

Brand also seemed bemused as to why Fultz couldn't have an appointment take place sometime before next week.

"I don't know how long he's going to be out," Brand said. "I know Monday is the consultation. I asked, 'Why Monday?' He said, 'It was the best day they could get an appointment.'

So is this Sixers dysfunction or Fultz team dysfunction or a combination?

Either way, I'm curious what Ainge and the Celtics saw that convinced them to skip Fultz in the draft that apparently nobody else saw.

There were rumors on CB that he didn't shoot well in his BOS workout(s)

No kidding.  That wasn't my point.  Why not just say "agent" rather than lawyer?

Yeah, it was definitely more than the workout. Like, what did they find out about him when they spoke to his teachers and old coaches, etc?

“I had a wonderful conversation with Brad Stevens,” said Phalen, who worked with Fultz almost daily during his time at the private high school in Hyattsville, Md. “He was so interested in how Markelle learns, and I just thought that was an amazing concept for a coach to be interested in and concerned about. We had a great conversation.”
