Assuming this really is Markelle Fultz he looks a bit too chubby in my opinion. Doesn't look like the body of a nr1 pick. Vid is posted 3 weeks ago.
I know he has been hitting the gym of late but still a body like this for a 19y old kid is not what you expect from someone with a great work ethic...

You EAT when you bulk up. John Wall was called fat once too.

Btw. I wish I was that "fat"  ;D

We have already talked about this video. It was at the end of a workout. You literally can not see his front...only back ( which looks defined/muscular). It seems that he may have some fat on his love handles....but there is no way to tell. He probably has defined abs

He is gaining muscle and when you gain muscle you gain some fat. He will lose a ton of that fat for training camp and after.

I am more worried that an online video of him shooting open 3s showed more misses than one would hope for from the #1 nba draft prospect.

One of the Ringer contributors made a funny comment on a basketball pod a month or so ago. He said that people with round faces always look fat even when they aren't, like Fultz.

I'm not. This was after lifting. Getting up shots after lifting is important because it can hurt your form if you don't. Even if you can barely lift your arms after working out, still get shots up even if you have to force them.

He shot extremely well, over 40%, from 3 in college...I'm not worried.

I am more concerned about not practicing at game speed.  No one shoots that slow in game conditions.   Practice should be as close to a game as possible. I get that shooting after lifting is to preserve touch., though.

Wait a minute, is this for real? The kid looks fine, and he certainly isn't "fat."

Well, we´ll just pick Lauri at #1 then, if that´s the criteria.

For real. I think we expect a little too much out of these professional athletes at times, especially draftees that haven't even grown into their adult bodies yet. He's still got plenty of "filling out" to do over the next couple of years.

An other thing to think about too is that with his 6'10" wing span, he could have an other growth spurt of an inch. I know my kid gets a bit chubby right before a spurt. You add that with adding extra calories because you're trying to get to NBA weight, he's going to add a few pounds in the areas that are hard to lose them. He's got more of a PP build than a Jordan build. Jordan grew a couple inches at his age, same with PG13. I wouldn't be worried for a couple more years, and if it effected his game.

His shooting is amazing. I don't know about other aspects of his game but that shot is money.

Nope.
