Markelle Fultz has seen his young NBA career revived with a change of scenery since last year's trade sent him from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Orlando Magic.
What has haunted the former Washington Huskies guard, though, is an awkward free-throw shooting form — ever scrutinized since his tenuous time on and off the court in Philadelphia. This time, however, Fultz was seen shooting free throws pregame before Friday's road bout with the Minnesota Timberwolves with more questionable mechanics.
It appears the former first-overall pick from the 2017 NBA Draft is taking a lateral jab step with his left foot before re-planting both feet to take the foul shot. The Magic guard has an assistant coach or trainer next to him feeding him the ball as he practices the pregame free throws.
Markelle Fultz has certainly come out of his funk in his first season with the Magic, averaging 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in 61 appearances and 56 starts with Orlando prior to Friday's matchup. Onlookers checking in on his shooting form don't appear to be going away any time soon, though.
