What a difference a month can make for Sixers' rookie Markelle Fultz. Just a few weeks removed from being selected with the No. 1 overall pick, Fultz was standing out in Utah and Las Vegas summer league play. He lulled defenders to sleep with his dribble hesitation moves, and letting contested jump shots fly with little hesitation. Of course, summer league's not a great indicator of how a player's NBA career will end up going, but Fultz undoubtedly looked the part of a top overall pick.
After a month back home in Maryland, Fultz returned to the Sixers practice facility in early September, and his shot looked noticeably different, particularly at the free throw line.
