His dribbling looks very good and he is quick. Offload Shead’s offense load when he is concentrating on defense.
He still doesn't have a shot after 3 yrs out of the league?
Straight up, Fultz is twice the PG Shed is even eithout shooting the ball. His leadership alone has been missing since Fred left. We look lost out there on offense every game hoping instead of commanding
Good depth signing
Rather have Chris Boucher back on the roster… Bobby's roster construction post Masai is seriously lacking.
JT forrrrr threeeeeee 😅
Marvellous need a higher arc in his shot
And get rid of that slight pause at the top of his shot
At the very worst, You see if IQ or Shead can pick u some good habits.
I love this move. Fill a position of need and give a guy a shot who deserves another go. Fultz is a great add for depth at PG, not a long term fix because he can't shoot.
If Markelle is kept, then there is no use for IQ. We can get a pure 3 point shooter for a lot less.
The way he brought up the ball under full court pressure was beautiful to see, he's got a nice handle
I didn't know before, but I think I'd love a Markelle Fultz redemption arc.
He played good last night.
Jamal is a sophomore and was a second round pick. People need to temper their expectations of him. I personally think he is doing better than most would that were drafted where he was and considering sophomore slumps are real. I have faith in Shead that he will continue to evolve and get better
