The Evolution of Markelle's Shooting Form 

“It’s evolving. Just backwards”

the man forgot how to shoot, but still makes more 3s than ben simmons

His shot looked different even at the philly pre draft workout. He holds the ball farther from his face.

Ya'll really gonna make fun of him because he suffered a pinched nerve in his shoulder. That's like saying "you walk weird" when I'm limping from a sprained ankle.

His injury is the equivalent to a quarterback breaking his throwing shoulder. He may never be the same

"Right before Fultz's rookie year with the 76ers, he started feeling pain in his shoulder. That pain eventually was diagnosed as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is a rare nerve injury that doesn't show up on an MRI or CAT scan." For a while the guy was watching his career die right before his eyes, & he didn't even know why. Must have been tough. Glad he's healthy. Let's hope they all stay healthy & push into the finals.

I just feel like after such a injury it must be really hard to go play competitively

Even when his jumper was f'd in Philly, still had a better jumper than Flight

Looking fluid now, glad he turned it around

I really like how Orlando has handled Fultz's development. They are well aware of the sky-high potential he has, and they are helping him with his jumpshot so he can reach it

0:50 “fultz 3.., Gets the shitters bounce!

I wish Philadelphia didn't give up on him so quickly. He's full of potential. Like when he finally got some more playing time, he recorded a triple double in a limited number of minutes.

He's got the range of motion back pretty good- as seen in his current mid range, which is a pretty nice shot, but clearly lacks the shoulder strength to use the same form from 3. I think it'll keep improving for now.

This man never gave up now hes coming back pray for him to be the best that he was 💯

and now he just tore his ACL. Poor guy.

Man he was so good in highschool and College, it's a shame things like this happen

You can tell in the Philly pre draft work out that his shot slightly changed from college indicating that his injury over time got worse we just didn't notice it at first, then it got so bad he missed a chunk of time to not only fix his form but relearn it, which also indicates that he's lost a lot of strength in his shoulder as he's form for his pull up mid is almost exactly like his form in college, he just doesn't have the strength to shoot normally with out the momentum of a pull up mid range

Grayson Allen being a school threat compilation!

I’m happy for him man. His jumpshot is rlly improving. Shows what hard work can do

Jumpshot coach really messed up😂

Rooting for this dude!!!

Dude i never knew he had shoulder injury. Damn no wonder he looked weird in his rookie season. Ive watched this man played college ball and he was good. Now hes playing healthy, good for him

No matter what, you have to give the guy credit for continuing to work hard and getting results.

Always rooting for Fultz. The kids still has so much potential. Hopefully one day he finds it

High school, 10th grade. Playing varsity basketball, somebody had practically checked me and I smacked my head down on the court and cracked my head open. After that, I never shot the same since. Got a brain scan in 11th grade, horrible brain swelling. 12 grade, practiced putting the form back together. Here I am now, 6'11 and make 3s again from 30 feet. A damn miracle

Glad he was able to overcome not only physically but mentally hope he can do it again after that acl injury man was balling ... I’m a hawks fan cheering for a division rival player ... yk it’s real

i don't get why people hatin on this guy, he's developing on orlando rn

Nice vid bro just subbed

I like the Kid, just hope he continues to grow and be the start he has the potential to be.

I’m happy his shot Is getting better I was rlly hoping he would have a great career when he got drafted sad to see how bad it started but only get’s better from here ig 🤷‍♂️

this poor dude, i hope he comes back strong one day

Imagine pump faking at a free throw

This kid is gifted sad to not see him in the 76ers roster but he will be great whichever teams he lands he will be phenomenal once he reaches his prime

Look at markelle man so inspirational

Wish you had included his midrange pullup jumper too, it looks much different from his 3 point jumphot

Markelle got the hof quick draw badge in Orlando

its notable to mention that his pull up mid ranges look different than his non-moving shots. he goes from rachel demita to carmelo anthony

I feel bad for him cause people think he just forgot how to shoot but he had a injury

Who's here after his ACL injury? This man can't catch a break. Praying for a faster recovery🙏

Great video

*He looked normal in college, idk why this happened to him* 😢

If Markelle didn’t “forget” how to shoot he could’ve been a star!

He’s just got to find a new comfortable position and follow through now you can see it in Orlando he’s finding a new shot. I got some hip problems and I had to adjust my stance in football so I wasn’t stressing my hip out all the time. Adapt and overcome

"i think i got my swagger back!"

Fultz new shot looks like when you a kid trying to make a shot on a 10 foot hoop

Is he trying to recreate the hitch on his jump shot when taking a free throw?

He looks like my 2k player when I miss time my release

YOOOOOOOO lmaooooo 2:45 thats the funniest shit i ever seen u a fool for this one! wtf they doing in philly lmaooooo

Respect to Fultz for not giving up like Simmons

kinda glad he doing good at magic, still trusting him

i dont know if you all forgot he had an injury on his shoulder for 1 year and half, that is why his shot form was totally ass

Idk why but this is really funny

I love to watch this guy, I don't know why

Dude he had a great JS on his senior year

He got some Vc and went crazy

His bubble jumper looks even better

In 2018 “start of the worst” it looks like he cant even get his shoulder in the starting position of his shot. I’m sure a lot of what he’s dealt with is mental but at least there it looks physical

Bro had a beautiful shot in HS wow they shouldn’t have tried changing it in the summer league his shooting form in highschool he had his arm higher and not that forward making it harder to guard/block

Dude the Toronto clip was way before the Denver clip where he airballed, the Denver game was when he came back after missing all that time

I feel bad for the kid. But imagine trying to adjust your shot, knowing it's now ugly looking and how pretty it used to be, after a devastating injury and still being able to make shots in the NBA. That's heart.

It looks like his shoulder hurts every time he shoots

As long as it goes in Nothing else matters

I believe he could be most improved next year

0:56 2 NBA players in one frame

And now he's shooting 92%... Amazing.

Still salty he’s getting better with another squad. I was all in on him with the sixers

I was there in the stadium when he air balled those

This dude just hit a full court shot

hes gonna get the hall of fame quickdraw in the future

Good video

this is exacty what happened to me except he got injured and i just took a break. i was a rly good shooter since second grade but i took a break from basketball thru 8th. i couldnt make a shot for my life. i went 5 for 50 mostly every practice so i stuck with finishing only and worked on my shot outside of games. now im going into 10th and i can hit shots like i used to but its weird how u can forget something u do for most of your life lmao

how did they not catch this in the pre draft workout? Its so obviously different from college during that workout

One of the best mid range shooters in the league

He's developed a nice midrange game now

Still not as smooth as in college but so much better than the form after that injury😂

Poor men. Feel bad for him. But he is a warrior, huge problems and still a starter in The NBA. I Hope The BEST for Fultz

His j is literally is like the plot of space jam, pre and post monstars lol.

Dude he would have been so good if he didn’t have that injury

The Orlando trade was a nice shot

Shame he the injury ruined Phillies perspective of him they could have had a great young trio instead all 3 just have a lot of questions

As of today his shot low key looks better than pre draft

🔥🔥

It was a shoulder injury, my friend has something similar and even though he plays ball, his shooting form is not the same and his consistency has gotten worse.

I just realized how much my jumper looks like his college one😂

I kno dat boy will prosper

Damn the coaching staff changed his shot even before the summer league. No wonder Ben Simmons is afraid to shoot.

This is a classical case of the Yips.

Yo Tjay do a Joel Embiid trolling video

I was legit gonna call him the right handed Ben Simmons that can shoot 3s then I realised he actually did play for the 76sers

Dude when from a flick shot to a push shot

Imma be real, to be in his position sucks, I busted my shoulder last year during a game and I had to adapt to a different form due to the pain, eventually the shooting just got worse and worse and I’ve since lost muscle memory of my shot from high school, and me being the better shooter on my team, or at least was, it’s a mentally hard situation honestly, and to be of his caliber in the NBA it must be so much more harder

He went from a 1 shot to a 2 shot motion in a year

Damn even in college his release is lower than in HS... He was probably already feeling pain then. Sucks but I'm glad he's found a way to turn his career around

That shouldr injury really fucked him up, during that summer league games that shot form was great

Now I’m good

there are three ways this could have happened either he got a shit trainer or the 3 point line being further back and other changes to the court messed up his muscle memory or it was the injury but good to see hes reforming in orlando

Man he should’ve kept his pre-NBA shooting form

"Gets the shitters bounce"

The maxey that was promised

Philly’s trainer did something on his form they made his shot farther from his head
