Here's why Markelle Fultz changed his free throw shooting motion: theringer.com/nba/2017/10/10… @ringer

TP for posting that - very relevant to the thread.

However, I am not sure I totally buy the explanation. If Fultz has shoulder pain every time attempts a free throw, then I am very glad we didn't take him. Imagine how much agony he will be in attempting 3s  ::)

Bad shoulder=bad
Messing with good form=bad
Oof. Yeah. This new information only makes things worse.

Also worth noting hes resting for Philly's final preseason game with "knee soreness" the same thing that ended his college career about 8 games early.

Could be chronic perhaps, I hope not but it may just be precautionary.
