You haven’t seen enough of him yet to safely conclude that he is already better than Payton defensively? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adding on, this was from the Ringer Article that got linked a few pages back: “Worth remembering: The Sixers allowed 106.1 points per 100 non-garbage-time possessions with Fultz on the floor last season, according to Cleaning the Glass, which would’ve been a top-three full-season mark.” I get preaching patience, but I think it’s obvious that health is the only thing that’s going to hold Fultz back from being a very good player for us, not skill or defensive aptitude.

Payton played great defense about 37 times for about 5 minutes each during his time with us. IMO his defensive weakness made Vuc's defense look worse than it really is because players would blow by EP and come at Vuc with a full head of steam.

I know we are talking defense right now, but regarding how I think Fultz can help us on offense Clifford said the other day on the Orlando Pinstriped Post Podcast that by the numbers the best thing you can do (regarding NBA offense) is: 1) Get to the free-throw line 2) Shoot a layup 3) A corner three Fultz should be able to help us with 1 & 2, but might not be able to hit the corner three right now because he seems more comfortable getting his points in the paint; however, that doesn't mean he can't drive and pass it to someone who can, right? If he can stay healthy I think he might get most of his minutes late in the game when it's on the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
