Markelle Fultz and this whole situation has been a mess. Now he might be asking for a trade and I’ve been saying for a year that it’s not physiological, but it’s psychological and it’s time to really see what’s going on. But first, I’d appreciate it if you’d subscribe cause I’m giving you guys the truth and hit that like button for the amount of free throw routines Markelle is gonna try, 3284. Also, I hope y’all had an amazing Thanksgiving.
This all started from this. And this. People started making excuses that it was a way to get past pain in the shoulder and then he dove on the court hand full stretched out and there was no excuse. His shot was smooth when he came back, but it’s devolved. Now Markelle said he had a wrist injury, Amari Cooper did it, and I was like this whole thing is psychological. When Markelle Fultz came with a new shot, everyone was pretty shocked including me. Then reports came out that Fultz had a shoulder injury and Fultz’s agent flip flopped between fluid being taken out of his shoulder which is really serious and fluid being injected into his shoulder which you can play with. The 76ers didn’t have any idea of this and their medical staff found no problem with Fultz which was the first indication of Fultz having a psychological problem. If he was too hurt to shoot, why was he playing. It didn’t make any sense.
Remember, Markelle decided to change his jumpshot because he was not confident in his own shot. My theory before was that when he decided to change his shot, he hurt his shoulder in the process and he was too embarrassed to say that. I mean if you’re a basketball player and you try to rework your shot and injure yourself in the process, I can see why Fultz would. On top of that Fultz worked with his own trainer, Keith Williams, without the approval of the 76ers so the 76ers were frustrated too.
It all comes from an internal fear of being a bust, of not being effective in a 3 point shooting league. Markelle Fultz has developed a game his whole life that has now become obsolete. Even though Markelle shot 41% from 3 in college, he didn’t consistently have NBA 3 point range and that had him scared. Markelle his whole life has been dealing with doubters. He was cut from the varsity team in his sophomore year, recruiters didn’t come to his games, and his family at one point didn’t think his dreams were achievable. But Markelle has been proving them wrong. And so when there were doubts on Markelle’s 3 point shooting ability, Markelle wanted to prove them wrong. His trainer Keith Williams has trained Fultz by using Fultz’s motivation of revenge. Keith would train Fultz with something along the lines of, you can’t make a three and then Fultz would make a three. These doubters were motivation. Markelle hasn’t always been the most confident, but he’s always been a hardworker that has worked through problems to become the number 1 draft pick.
His mom had a huge fight with his trainer Drew after she saw Fultz not having any results in game and Drew quit. Drew works with other players like Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, and other NBA players and so he is pretty qualified. On top of that, Drew can’t speak on Fultz’s training either. What Fultz has done is create a bubble and doesn’t want to be judged in this state. But this in turn has created reputation problems. It has distanced himself from the organization and especially the coach. Coach Brown has been caught offguard multiple times about Fultz and still continues to support him. What makes me angry about this whole situation are the excuses. If you truly are injured to the point that you can’t shoot, you don’t play. First, it was an injury, then it was that he couldn’t actually shoot. Markelle in his mind has lost confidence in who he was. He has lost faith in his shot. And now reports are coming out that he wants a fresh start. I can’t blame him necessarily for that but he keeps putting his problems on other sources which is so much more different than the Fultz that used to put everything on himself. I want Markelle Fultz to be better, to play well, to reach his potential, but he’s squandered it away and is not able to take criticism. And that’s what’s been in the mind of Markelle Fultz and that’s what the Markelle Fultz Problem is. But what do you think? Can Markelle Fultz regain his motor?
