Gifted is one thing. But you're putting Ball on the same level as the best passers and floor generals of the last decade? Hmm... Yea. Not debatable at all. Guess Fultz's scoring ability is on the level of prime D.Wade.
Considering writers all across the country are writing about how special a passer he is, considering his AST:TO ratio is otherworldly good in comparison to other point gods like CP3, Stockton, Kidd and Nash at the same age, considering he was doing all that while playing more of an off-ball role at UCLA last year, considering his scoring and passing efficiency at 19 blows all those former greats out of the water, it's really not that far-fetched.
The thing I hate the most about "internet scouting" is the abundance of people who are afraid to make any kind of reach. Everyone's too safe with their takes, as if they're trying to take care of some non-existent reputation.
There's nothing wrong with a little hyperbole. Especially when the facts back it up quite nicely.
I don't know if he'll ever reach that level, but I think he's certainly on-track. I don't know how some of you can watch him play and see anything but star really.
Oh brother. There's a ton of reaches per day on this board. So the "fear" to make a reach is definitely not the problem. You can be a good passer and still not be on the level of Kidd, Nash and CP. That's the real problem here. You're either Nick Young or Magic Johnson as a passer. There's no in-between. But whatever. We can revisit this one day.
Read that first and last paragraph again, then come back to me.
