What matters about this shot — and a three he took and missed a couple of minutes before this — was that he didn’t hesitate. This was the relaxed shot of a confident shooter. If Fultz gets his confidence back we’ll find out if he can live up to the No. 1 pick expectations.
Here it is, Markelle Fultz’s first three in NBA action, with the assist from Ben Simmons.
THERE IT IS.

He had taken another in-rhythm jumper earlier.
