Fulkerson Appreciation

[VolFreakJosh]

Fulkerson had 22 points in last nights win against Bama.

He’s really developed a nice offensive skill set. There’s no quit in his game.

Hope he continues to do great things.

 

[lostsheep]

Agree. I've gone from being a doubter on him to expecting big things, especially next year.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

He has an incredible lack of natural talent and shows that hard work can pay off. A great example for all young players. Gives 100% and always brings the energy.

 

[lostsheep]

If we were playin bball in the driveway and picking teams from the current roster, he'd be my first pick.

Pons would be tough to pass on. The other team would never get a shot off.

The best player on the team has "an incredible lack of talent"? Ok

 

[kyvol98]

I give all the credit to Pals and his hairstyle! JK.... Guy is playing his a$$ off!

 

[Kicker82]

He has taken his game to a new level this year. I think his injury really set him back to where it's taken him a while to be back to the guy we initially recruited. Pons has also been great.

Gives everything he had every min he is in the game. To me he is an excellent team player !!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Imagine if he got a mohawk! The Fulkhawk!

 

[sechamp2012]

Remember before his injury True Freshman there was debate who would have best career willams or Fulkerson

Hope you didn't hurt yourself with that back-handed compliment lol.

I wouldn't say he has a lack of talent, lack of athleticism maybe but not talent. I do agree with your point though, hard work and hustle are paying big dividends with Fulky.

 

[Zues1]

I've always been in his corner.
I know what I see, I see a guy who works his butt off in practice and in the games. It may not always be pretty but he'll give you 100 %. Without him this year the team would probably be under 500 at this point.
Very happy for him !

 

[Kosmalski]

He has talent. He can jump and has a great wingspan.

Great anticipation and smarts. That's all talent.
I'm gonna get some Pals and see if it helps my fishing

 

[RollerVol]

glad he's a Vol...period...

GBO!

Amazing what cheddar rounds and a Peachie tea can do.....

Amazing how clueless people are due to preconceived notions and stereotypes. Fulkerson has tremendous talent and athleticism. His movements are jerky jerky and look akward at times. That is not a measure of athleticism. At 6'9 he is fast and has great length and vertical. He does that quick spin move and quickly finds the rim and finishes at the rim, that takes coordination. Those are measures of talent and athleticism. Now Plasvic is what it looks like when somebody lacks athleticism. He does not move well or jump well. His coordination is not strong.

I wouldn't say he lacks talent. He does lack grace, though. IMO that makes him more entertaining to watch.

 

[Stoked]

He reminds me of me of Tyler Hansbrough in a way. The way that he is scrappy and seems uncoordinated, but isn't. Anyone that thinks he doesn't have talent is a dumba** though. He has improved so much at taking care of the ball and with his post game.

I think lack of grace is a good way to describe it

Really amazed by Fulky at certain times,I like him a lot. He just isn't consistent at giving that kind of production every night.JMO

I disagree. He shows up every game and hustles, plays good D, fights for rebounds, and takes the shots presented him. Post players have to be fed the ball properly from the perimeter players. We have been woefully inconsistent this season in that regard due to injuries and youth.

Unfortunately many ignorant folks think white = unathletic.
