Not too sure about special, he's more or less reliant on the creation of others but a good solid rotation NBA player who can be used in a variety of line ups due to versatility on both ends is a very valuable thing to be. And great value at the 36th pick.
Athleticism on defence moving his feet and swatting shots is special.. If he can become a decent 3 point shooter he will be a tremendous piece

Shot looking better, not shooting it on the way down anymore. Nice turn and sway forward too.



Half expected him to be shooting with his right...Still nice form.

It's like the Tatum video from before where open gym, slow release isn't really much of an indicator, but the fact that he's making them is at least a start.

Cool vid.

Really stoked to have Redick on board, best guy from deep we've had since Korver.

Can't help but think Brandon Roy is the perfect comp for Fultz, such similar movement.



Damn they look so similar. Although Fultz has a long way to go to become the player Roy was, if anything, I think Fultz might even have a slight edge when it comes to his body contortion/control finishing at the rim through contact. But everything else looks so similar.

BTW, for anyone else who's just itching to get the season started, here's a beauty of a site to watch every single 76ers game from last season in HD quality.

Here's a example of a game from that site (Our win vs TWolves, where Embiid showed KAT who's the new boss):

McAdoo on a 2-way, for that 'chip leadership, I guess. Adds a bit on D, but a pretty indifferent start to our use of the 2-ways.

The Nerlens stuff (kinda) makes me angry again.

Homie looking lean af. Wonder if it was a team directive.

Out of it early (but active on D), and now getting into it.
Saric will play more at the 3 with Simmons coming back. Likely a team directive to get more mobile.

No one really knows until training camp starts. They've held off clearing him for 5v5 but mine and other people's suspicions is that it's just something they'll do once training camp starts, hasn't been any word of any set back or anything like that and plenty of videos from the last few months of him moving freely.

Only caught the 20 minute highlight package, so don't know the actual story but damn Furkan looked terrific off the dribble. Could be fighting for minutes sooner than expected.

Aggressive Simmons can avg 15-18 pts a game, easy. Didn't see him take any jumpers though, so I guess he didn't make any.

Actually impressed with how much Vegan Jah has trimmed. He's running the floor much better, and didn't seem to look like a blackhole on offense. (Caveat: This is not a sample size).

Funny how even in a highlight package, Kris Humphries can still look bad.
