Sixers fan are saying the No.1 pick used to not hold the ball in the center, yes but NO, standing aside your rival No.2 pick like THAT is straight disrespect and Fulz knew that(that face), and if this kid has any alpha he shouldn't allow it to happen, looks like we dodged a bullet(not saying he isn't talented, just has no trait of being a superstar)

I wouldn't say Fultz had a lack of confidence in that video, he's just a more low key character from the looks of it. That doesn't mean he doesn't have the drive to better himself.

Interesting that Lonzo had the ball though. Jayson all the way at the back as well. Easy to make the argument that they want Lonzo as the face of a resurgent LA for years to come. That should act as fuel for all rookies selected around him.

I hate the concept of corporate logos on NBA jerseys, but LOVE how the GE logo looks on ours. Talk about cognitive dissonance...

I didn't see a lack of confidence, either. The guy might want to change his diet, though. Haha.

And yes, the league is desperately hoping that Ball becomes a star.

I had the same reaction, Koz. 

Seriously, monetizing everything is a slippery slope - between the lines, it ought to be banned.

I, on the other hand, am desperately hoping he levels out as a tall Andre Miller.

I'm at work so can't listen to the audio but I love his body language here. He seems relaxed and like he's enjoying the ride. He's such a kid. I mean, he really looks 19. In a few years when he's a man, he'll be beastly.

I love this particular story line. I hope it continues for years.

Roy are you referencing the recent article about how go-to order from chick filet?

Markelle Fultz Chik-Fil-A order
2 orders of 12 count chicken nuggets
A No. 1 (Chicken sandwich, fries, drink) with no pickles. Occasionally he asks for cheese and bacon on the sandwich
Large cookies and cream milkshake
Sauces: BBQ and Chik-Fil-A sauce (used exclusively on his sandwich)

That is per Liberty Ballers

I guess he is 19 and works out a ton but that seems insane...

Not to hate on the story, but here's a look at the last few years rookie classes.  I see no trend of #1 pick holding the ball.





After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

He indeed has work ethic, i am talking about alpha though
I don;t think he is lowkey in nature, remember his (privately at the time)tweet video laughing at LBJ's hair? that's not lowkey, if anything he is afraid to show it up
Tatum in the back because his height and also his teammate, look at his smile, that's not the face

The 76ers and their fans seem to really be worrying about the wrong things these days. Ben Simmons and Embiid getting into it with Lavar Ball and swearing on social media (causing a fine from the NBA), Embiid concerned he is rated too low in NBA 2K, fans worried about where Fultz is stationed in the rookie photo. These guys need to shut up and worry about their on the court play and staying healthy and stop worrying so much about perception. I don't feel like they will reach their full potential unless they do.

It's not his face lol, he is saying he was nervous he won't go first, if you can feel nervous in that particular situiation(i know i won't..) how will he feel while taking clutch shots in the playoffs?

In general, I think the league would like for the Lakers to become a thing again.

They're not really pushing the Knicks that much, but I guess the league realized long ago there's no point in trying.

Was Tim Duncan alpha? You don't have to be like Kobe to be a great player. Bill Russell, Ray Allen, Hakeem the dream. I doubt those players would be ripping balls out of hands at a rookie shoot.
