Trae Young from 3. 26%
Markelle Fultz from 3. 31%
Who Knew?
I know free throws are free. And the difference there staggeringly more than makes up the 5% on non-free 3 pointers. Because Fultz has made only 4 threes.
I still rather have Fultz but your Young hate is disingenuous. You know damn well a 8 APG guard can't be a bust.
I'm sticking to my guns on this one and there is no doubt that Fultz will be better. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that Young's numbers are inflated by playing on a shitty team that routinely loses by double figures. He may not be better than Jeremy Lin. Definitely isn't better than the guy they traded to grease the skids for him.
Lonzo avg 7 assist per game last season and he is basically a bust at this point. It happens. Once the level of investment goes away (typically once their people determine that he doesn't impact games much) then he will begin to be evaluated that way that he should.
Quinn Cook is the latest in a list (Trey Burke, Arch) of mediocre guards that have outplayed him.
If you put Fultz in a similar positions his numbers would be better than Young's. Its not even so much as the numbers its obvious to me that he is better.
His problem is that the "Process" has worked too well. Philly is trying to compete for a Championship while simultaneously furthering his development.
When he was drafted the 76ers weren't contending for a championship...and he didn't even play because he couldn't shot ….so you're wrong again
He was injured you idiot. Hashtag Hacks aren't usually privy to such info however.
Now we may actually have the cause.

If you watched the games you'd know that he is still injured. I watched him in the Summer League and he didn't shoot anything like that. The whole "yips" thing is internet bullshit. The kid was hurt last year before he was benched. All you have to do is look at his shooting motion to know that it is something physical. He can't even get follow through on his shot.
It has gotten progressively worse as the year has gone on probably from the wear and tear of actually playing and drawing physical contact. I hope the kid finds out what is really wrong this time.
Consistent with the "watched him in the Summer League and he didn't shoot like that" comment.
Yet it didn’t take long for Fultz to describe his shoulder as problematic and as adversely impacting his play. During the preseason Fultz complained of shoulder pain, tightness and soreness. Neither a cortisone shot nor a drainage of fluid from the shoulder seemed to help him much. In October 2017, Fultz was diagnosed with “scapular muscle imbalance.” Such an ailment refers to where muscles connected to the shoulder blade are imbalanced, which in turn disrupts arm movement. Dr. David Chao, an orthopedic surgeon who served as San Diego Chargers team physician, authored a column in the San Diego Tribune in which he explained Fultz’s injury. Chao noted that the ailment can be corrected with physical therapy, but that surgery is also possible.
Fultz opted for rehabilitation and therapy, but it was to no avail. He also altered his shooting mechanics in hopes of minimizing the physical impact of the imbalance. Such a maneuver, however, created a new set of problems: it led Fultz to change what had been a reasonably proficient shooting motion into an inconsistent and ineffectual form. Fultz would play in only 14 of the 76ers’ 82 regular season games in ’17-’18. His stats were worse than most of the other players selected in the lottery and well behind those of the four other players who were drafted after him in the top five.
But one season, especially a rookie season, doesn’t make an NBA career. With that in mind, a healthier Fultz hoped to rebound in ‘18-‘19. To advance that goal, Fultz spent much of the summer working with famed shooting coach Drew Hanlen on rebuilding his shooting form. Fultz came to camp in September seemingly optimistic about his future. Brown also placed confidence in Fultz by inserting him into the starting lineup.
Unfortunately for Fultz, his ineffective and sometimes awkward-looking shooting has resurfaced. Also, with the 76ers’ recent acquisition of Jimmy Butler and with T.J. McConnell on the roster, Fultz now finds himself fighting for minutes off the bench. Meanwhile, according to HoopHype’s Alex Kennedy, Fultz and Hanlen are no longer working together or even speaking with one another. Kennedy reports that Fultz and Hanlen saw their relationship “deteriorate” from late October into mid-November. During that stretch, Hanlen opined on Twitter that Fultz is “still not healthy.” That statement could suggest that Fultz’s shoulder woes remain although it’s not clear which type of health condition Hanlen was referring to (he has since deleted the tweet).
