first off i'm a big Lonzo Ball fan and enjoyed watching him play. But if you look at their shooting stats then it's even uglier for Lonzo!!!

Fultz is considered a huge bust but he actually shot better free throws and field % than Lonzo. Yikes.

One Free Throw.

Surprising that Fultz averaged nearly twice as many FTA and only 1.5 few FGA in 8 fewer minutes than Lonzo. Lonzo's 3PA and 2PA were the same.

Which player has the confidence issues with their shooting again?

Fultz just needs a caring Father in his corner, (like Zo has) then he'll be just fine...!

Why did Fultz end up being a bust? He was projected to be amazing.

It would be better if he averaged 0. Who wants someone to shoot FT if they are 41% from the line? He even makes Shaq look good..Hack a Ball

Since being drafted in 2017, Fultz has played 33 games, and right now there is no time table for his return. He came into the league injured and hasn't recovered in three years -- that's why he's considered a bust.

End up being a bust? Dude just turned 21. Let's give him a few years of actual playing before we pronounce judgement.

OK, but so far this guy is a colossal bust.

He has to be better than what he has shown so far right?

Pretty sure they have not given him an official diagnosis have they? Last I heard there was talk he might have some very rare ailment in his shoulder but they couldn't confirm. I personally think he has some extreme mental demons going on and the whole unknown diagnosis is smoke. Regardless, his decline in the pros has been one of the strangest things i've ever witnessed in the NBA.

Saying all that there is no question he is a colossal bust thus far.

What Fultz needs is to be healthy and that includes his shoulder. Whatever other mental damage that injury and Philly's handling of it has done is what he'll need to get past next and most importantly.

Last I read he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). That's the same thing Ingram was diagnosed with. Ingram immediately had surgery because of the potential for another blood clot but, as far as I know, Fultz didn't. It was weird because he was supposed to finished rehabbing near the end of last season but now we're hearing the Magic have no timetable on his return.
