If there's no trade who is your pick in this draft?

Fultz.

I was 100% sold on Fultz until I started seeing interviews. Based on his body language I am starting to see why his team had 9 wins and why he has reputation for taking plays off. He just doesn't come across as a locked in intense guy or a leader. I think the brain doctor is going to have issues with him. If the talent gap is not so great, Josh Jackson or Ball are definitely in the mix.

Body language is code for "i'm over thinking this"

I personally think Josh Jackson will be the best player in the draft in the long run. I don't think anybody agrees with me

Being intense =/= being great. It can help some people but that's about as far as I'll go. Look no further than Kawhi Leonard; he's a quiet killer. I want a guy that can ball and that is Fultz. Not saying that other guys in the draft aren't worthy of consideration but if I had to make my decision today, he's a no brainer.

His ORB% and steal/block rates are pretty good, which usually suggest a high motor.

He may not show it much on the outside, but neither did/does Kawhi.

I think he has a chance to be special. He is fast, quick, plays defense, rebounds well, passes, has good basketball instincts, handles the ball well and is really good on the break. He also is a high flyer that finishes well around the basket.

The only thing about him is his shot and the low release point like KO on his shot. With his quickness, he can create desperation to get off his shot but on catch and shot he will have a hard time getting his shot off.

The answer to the thread question is Fultz. He'll be the pick.

Fun fact about wingspans*:

Fultz: 6'9 ¾"
Jackson: 6'9 ¾"
Ball: 6'7"

They win championships when they're attached to great players.

Ainge and Co. have been strongly rumored to love Fultz for quite a while. It would be a sizable surprise for them to go with anyone else.

BPA is clearly Fultz, IMO. Could understand the argument for Ball, but he's only gunna work out for LA. The pick is Fultz. There is no debate

I saw his body language at the Lakers getting the second pick:

He ain't comin here.

Who should the Celtics pick ?
