76ers rookie Markelle Fultz appears close to returning.

So, how’s that troublesome jump shot looking?

Watch him in the background of this video.

Uh oh.

The No. 1 pick is under a microscope, and this won’t ease any pressure on him. Fultz’s form doesn’t look like what he used successfully at Washington.

Philadelphia surely hoped this long layoff would solve Fultz’s problems. It appears the issue is more complex than one just time can solve.
