Sixers GM Bryan Colangelo said earlier today Fultz, the number 1 pick in last year's draft, is limited to shooting from the free throw lane & that he might not return at all this season. He's been out since October.
There's a lot of speculation that he revamped his shot & it went to hell. I've also read & heard that he's got the yips & that his confidence is shot.
What a bizarre, 76ers like story.

I havent heard anywhere that it was still a physical issue. Wouldn't that be a much better excuse if it were true? Why wouldn't they shut him down if that was the case?
He scored 23ppg last year and shot 41% from 3.
Plenty of very good NBA players couldn't shoot a lick. Rajon Rondo comes to mind. Awful, awful shooter.
That being said, Fultz’ shot has looked better as of late from the practice clips were privy to. I’m strangely not too worried about him.
