    What’s wrong with him? Is this a medical condition ?

    There are so many stories behind it, but I have no clue what the truth really is. That shit is broken though, as it is.

    Fox/Hield/Bogdanovic might be my favorite young backcourt.

    The Kings are fun in general too as long as they aren't posting up WCS or Bagley. Giles had a nice night in the box score, but I'm still not a believer.

    Now tied with the Warriors in the loss column - Friday could be for first place!

    That'd drive me crazy. I'd just want to watch it at home. If I'm that close to the game, as a human being I'm going to want to watch it. That may be an issue.

    Given that this "offer" is located in the Bay Area doesn't make it seem that abnormal.

    There must be something mentally wrong with him. It's just not possible to explain pump faking a free throw otherwise.

    To my eyes, he looked like a scorer not a shooter. Take away the "me first" ball dominating rhythm and you're left with what you see now.

    People brushed aside the criticism that Fultz has been the best player on the floor, but a loser, at every level he's played. Those same people are probably scratching their heads now at how broken his mental game is.

    You really think that's the reason...? C'mon man. That's such a stretch... Take away his touches and his shooting form goes from perfect to incompetent?...

    I wasn't impressed with him at UW. Just a very good athlete who got lots of touches and had minimal impact on the game. I can't explain the change in his mechanics, but his history very much calls into question his mental strength. That doesn't seem like much of a stretch to connect the dots.
