    Seems FS to continue to practice shooting if he's still injured or rehabbing. He's locking in bad muscle memory habits to compensate for the shoulder not being completely functional.

    Or, like Jake Browning, he just sucks.



    His shoulder is fine.

    I wouldn't say much worse. The three looked like he was fooling around, but the spinning jumpers looked good. He's clearly improving- a week ago he didn't look like that. Apparently he had to mess with 8 separate muscles in his shoulder to get his problem fixed, because it was an injury the NBA hadn't really seen. He can be a very effective player for Philly this year without shooting a three ball. If he can regain that, the NBA needs to look out.

    TL;DR Once Burmeister gets his reads down this will get ugly quick

    This is like a movie where Markelle found some magic shoes in High School that he has somehow lost.

    Moral of the story folks is that if you can will your team(being a top 3 pick) to at least 15 wins in college bbbal you've got to be fucking bad. Stop drafting these kids who can't win

    He needs more pay.

    Taking $10,000 to play for Romar was dumb.

    Romar is a great man who did things the right way

    What a clown. Hopefully UW and Romar were unaware that ASM gave Fultz money but I doubt it.

    Cheating to only win 9 games is an impressive level of incompetence.

    And obviously bitch boy Basnaight is still trying to defend Romar on Twitter. Unreal.

    Whatever as long as Football is unaffected who gives a fuck.

    Hiring Porter's dad was a great move. It's not cheating if it's legal. It's not like Romar was hiring guys to coach anybody up anyway, hire assistants who can bring in the most talent.

    Jen did the right thing to fire Romar anyway, but hiring Porter isn't even close to making the long list of things Romar fucked up.

    It'll be interesting to see what level of involvement Romar and his staff had. What ASM was doing with Fultz to "sign" him as a future client was their own arrangement, and I'm not really sure what use they would have had for Romar/Chill/whomever. At the same time, given how close the coach and recruit relationship is, there's almost no way that they didn't know this was going on, and it's probably a question of did they just look the other way, or did they have any active involvement in the scheme.

    Chillous always concerned me because of his AAU/Nike conpnections and speaking to buddies in AAU coaching the guys that do it full time to make a living are typically slimy as fuck.

    Between this and now the Seattle thug at UA getting busted (again), Romar should burn.

    Legal yes ... but clearly shady and exploiting a loophole

    I honestly don’t care about the Porter arrangement ... was what it was. The problems with it IMO was always that LoRo used to cry foul about such arrangements because it “wasn’t doing things the right way” as an excuse to his performance (or lack thereof), then he started moving to the dark side to get the players he claimed he needed and not only didn’t win, but actually started winning less.

    I have to believe UW was generally unaware of what was happening - with the caveat that maybe once Jen got wind of shenanigans, that was the stake in Romar's coffin. If that's the case, then probably a light slap from the NCAA. Hell, maybe even she cooperated with the authorities to unravel this whole fucked up mess.

    No question Romar knew Chillios was a bag man.
