76ers' Markelle Fultz roasted on Twitter after awkward free throw attempt

It appears Markelle Fultz, indeed, has the yips. 

The Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard pump-faked a free throw attempt Monday night — giving Twitter users a gift to roast the No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft after he bricked an attempt against the Miami Heat.

Fultz, who missed most of his rookie season with a shoulder injury, insists he doesn't have a broken jump shot. But his shooting form, which has been highly criticized, from the charity stripe on Monday resembled Hall of Famer and former 76ers icon Charles Barkley's golf swing. 

In the offseason, Fultz worked on his shooting form and participated in the Summer League, He even hired skills trainer Drew Hanlen, but the two had a falling out and are no longer on speaking terms, it was reported on Monday. 

After the game, Fultz addressed his awkward free throw attempt by saying "it happens."

“The ball slipped out of my hand, so I had to do what I had to do,” Fultz said.

“I had to do what I had to do, but I’m not really worried about it. I have to work on my game. The ball just happened to slip, that’s what happened.”

He also said he's not worried about the backlash from social media and doesn't pay attention to it.

“I’m not really worried about it. I work on my game," Fultz said. “Everybody knows how hard I work. So it happens. The thing is I don’t really care about what people say or what people are going to say. I really don’t give a (expletive) for real. I work on my game and that’s how it’s going to go.”

Fultz is 19-of-33 (57.6 percent) from the free throw line and 4-of-13 (30.8 percent) from three-point range. In 15 starts, he's averaging 9.0 per game, not quite what the 76ers envisioned when he was drafted at No. 1.
