there is a freethrow and a 3 and pullups

Sixer fans all thrilled and calls he looks better but I see his form still very questionable, he can't extend his right arm during the motion and only used his wrist as a result and the hitch still can be seen in his pullups, that said his freethrow percentage "can" be improved with this form(since it was bad all the way to colleage so..), but he can't shoot jumpshot like that , he will be only able to make them when wide open+short distance

ps:He can't extend his right arm even in lay ups(so had to use wrist) versus his left

Am I only seeing what i want to see? ::)

The one 3-pointer in that video still looked to me like his release is lower than it was at Washington but I'm not sure how much to judge off of one shot.

His release still looks funky. It was pretty smooth at college, not sure what's happened

Me too.
The only thing that can explain it, is that human brain is unexplainable.

Apparently, Ainge has it explained and he moved on from him at the right moment.

Could be, but it’s not like the Sixers didn’t work him out before the trade.  They had him in, and liked what they saw enough to negotiate the deal and pick him first.  There’s no way his shot could have been that broken in June — anyone could have seen it.  And he looked fine in Utah.

I’m curious to see if he’ll recover from the yips.  I’m not optimistic for him.

I'm also not optimistic in a way that he will be a new unstoppable American guard, However, I can't envision him going to Europe or something similar. He is no Anthony Bennett, he will earn money and live well secured. At least as a Shaun Livingston type, I believe.
But it is all speculation as we have never seen this type of psycho-physical shooting downgrade.

Wow.  He did not look at all like a NBA star player.  Looks more like a project to me.

The yips can be a vexing, terribly debilitating thing when it comes to performance, but they can be beat because they do have a physiological component to them.

I suffered badly from them for a couple of years in my putting and found an article that helped me want to play competitive golf again, since I shied away from it for awhile because of the yips.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/9565490/How-to-beat-the-yips-clench-your-left-fist.html

The principle of activating the right side of the brain by a simple physical action like squeezing your left fist is even commented on in Scientific American:

Quote
Recently my colleagues and I found that increasing activity in the right hemisphere (by clenching the left fist) actually decreases an athlete's risk of choking under pressure. Other athletes, however, may simply choose to live with their yips./quote]

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-top-athletes-suddenly-develop-yips-choke-under-pressure/

As much as I hate the Seventy Stinkers, from the early 80's (Erving, Dawkins, Toney, Cheeks days) especially to the abhorrent (to me) Process, I hope that the kid, Fultz, gets back to form.

There is zero chance that Fultz will be a better NBA player than Jayson Tatum at this point.

Read Liberty Ballers guys.

Most of them think Tatum's skills/numbers are unsustainable and they'd take like 5-6 rookies over him if they did a re-Draft  :laugh:

Given how he was able to extend for that dunk in the end of the clip, I don't think there's anything physically wrong with him. The meltdown is fascinating though, glad we dodged that bullet.
