NBA Week 5: Winners and Losers

Markelle Fultz - Loser

Utah Jazz v Philadelphia 76ers

Markelle Fultz's time in the NBA just continues to get worse for the number one pick in last year's draft. After the Philadelphia 76ers made the big move to acquire perennial All-Star Jimmy Butler, Markelle conceded his starting position and returned to the bench where he spent most of his time in his debut season.

The move to the bench is one many thought would further help Fultz's development as it would allow him to gain more confidence leading the second unit. Unfortunately for Fultz, he has been told not to train with the team until he gets his shoulder revisited as it apparently is still not 100 percent.

Fultz has struggled with shoulder problems since the 76ers drafted him in 2017, many believe this has been the sole reason for him losing confidence in his ability and more importantly his shot. With the arrival of Butler, combined with Fultz sitting with the shoulder injury yet again, many believe this could signal the beginning of the end for his time as a 76er.
