Love this series; Retro Scouting Reports. Given his little experience in the NBA thus far, how would you peg his ideal role and upside to this point? Does he still grade out as an above-average lead ball handler in a starting role? Is he best-served as a back-up? Does his lack of outside shooting thus far present prohibitively difficult spacing issues (ie needs to be surrounded by shooting threats to maximize value as a slasher)? Curious for your take here, Coach!
Thanks for all the comments and reading our stuff, Jack! I think it's really difficult to give an accurate take on Fultz due to the injuries and mental obstacles that come along with them. I think the lack of outside shooting is certainly an issue, but he has shown flashes of being a really good driver and creator. I think the role and load he was given in Orlando last year is probably the right one
Yes I tend to agree. He’d be a shoe-in for the starting PG role if he was a stable catch-and-shoot deep threat, i believe. Would love to see the ball move with he, Franz and Paolo too.
