The form looks good, I guess. I’m not a shot expert. It feels like he’s still “shot-putting the ball” a little bit, but if it goes in, it goes in. Reggie Miller had a funky form and scored something like 25,000 points. Marco Belinelli was more accurate when leaning sideways, so whatever works, works.
Fultz reiterates that he really was dealing with a shoulder injury last year and that criticism from fans and media didn’t really get to him.
The full clip is 17 minutes long and you can watch it after the jump:
