Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz is putting on some work in the offseason. In a recent video, he displayed some impressive handles — a sign of good things to come for the Sixers' incoming second-year man.
A video posted by Bleacher Report shows Fultz putting on some crazy, if unorthodox, dribbling patterns on display:

Will Fultz unleash these dribbling moves come the regular season? A closer examination might reveal hints of a Kyrie Irving or even a Stephen Curry. The former first overall pick definitely has a lot of tricks in his bag.
Apart from his handles, Fultz has also been trying to get his jump shot back. To recall, a shoulder injury forced Fultz to sit out for most of the season. Several clips of him resurfaced, with a seemingly ruined form.
His new trainer Drew Hanlen, who has worked with the likes of Bradley Beal and Joel Embiid, admitted that he and Fultz are working consistently on getting his shooting form back to elite status. On the Talking Schmidt Podcast, Hanlen said:
“We’ve been working hard every day, working on rewiring his body and getting a kind of smooth stroke back into his shot. We’re way ahead of pace where I thought we were going to be, I thought it was going to take me at least six weeks before we had kind of a serviceable jump shot, and we’re already starting to shoot with a jump in week two.
“It’s not perfect yet, but I think by the end of the summer it will be perfect, he’ll be back rolling and he’ll show people why he was the No. 1 pick. “
