For awhile I've had something I've thought of as the 'Dwayne Wade' test. Ignoring that Wade is a dink, he was great as a prospect and player.

He also had a great size, skill and athleticism combo. So that's the first part, the second is approximating at least 20/5/5/2 in college with good efficiency.

It's useful to look at it on a per 36 or 40 minute basis, but at any rate, Fultz passes the 'Dwayne Wade' test for me.

Amazing night.

The conspiracy is the Lakers knew they were getting their pick this year.


Nonsense.

So what's your take? Do you take Fultz and not think twice or do you think you consider a trade for a vet? I'd puke if we traded this pick.

I watched some highlights and I just watched an interview with him and I got a strange feeling like he's not the guy, not sure why, just a weird gut feeling. Can he get to the hoop as easy against NBA teams? Also, there was mention of injuries in College? I just wonder if this guy is really the real deal, take over a franchise type guy. Like does he have that IT factor?


Ball couldn't even get to the hoop in college.

I wish there was an amazing big that we could draft at #1 to make this easy. So let's say we draft Fultz, what the hell happens to the guard rotation? I cant see IT not being a piece of this team's future after the season he had. Let's think about jersey and ticket sales. Ainge isn't going to trade him. So thinking long term, is Bradley getting traded? How is Fultz on defense? ****, this is so confusing lol

Interesting trade to at least think about in my opinion.

Deal centered around #1 and Bradley to Phoenix for Booker and #4 then sign Hayward.

If the Celtics trade the #1 pick it has to be for someone young and upcoming in my opinion. Not 28-31 years old.

Just having a little fun.

Basically all our guards will be on notice once the CAVS series starts. Smart, IT, Rozier, Bradley, all are on the hot seat now.

Brad must've creamed his khakis when he saw us land #1 and essentially Fultz

the only way I get excited about trading this pick if it is AD, barring that, **** it draft the kid.

The consolidation trade is inevitable now.

You can better stomach Smart's offense with Fultz on the team too.

And Thomas is now expendable in a year. Maybe.

So much intrigue.

Yeah, that's the one place where you'd have to think about it.

But AD is not exactly a guy we're sure will age well, health-wise.

IT (33) / Fultz (15)
Bradley (24) / Fultz (10) / Smart (14)
Hayward (33) / Brown (10) / Smart (5)
Crowder (30) / Brown (18)
Horford (32) / Zizic (16)
