76ers rookie Markelle Fultz is pain free on his shoulder but he doesn’t ‘look ready to play again in the NBA.

Per Phillyvoice.com, Fultz's shooting has been erratic at best from what the media has been able to see the last couple weeks, and during Sunday's afternoon session at the practice facility, the biggest peek at long-range shooting we've gotten so far was not at all encouraging.

"I think what he needs to be is able to shoot a basketball. I don't know what percent we're going to apply that comment, but he needs to feel he can go and shoot a basketball," said Brown. "To just render it that the free throw is pretty good, and it is, and to only go that far without talking about some of the other pieces, is not what we are looking at, and I know he isn't looking at that."
