Watching this team, I cry so much when IT is out of the game because we can't create offense. I only have eyes for Fultz.

If you stay number one you take Fultz.. If you plan on drafting anyone besides Fultz or Ball you trade down.

Jayson Tatum for me. He is tall and has good wingspan and he can get his own shot. I am not big on Fultz at all. I wouldn't be mad if we drafted him either. Ball I would not like. Jackson I would be fine with although I feel he is not a good fit with the Celtics with poor shooting. Unless the Celtics trade Smart of course.

I was a Ball guy until I couldn't withstand his father and the guy only working out for LA. He can stay there for all I care. Hopping on the Fultz wagon!

Markelle Fultz. He is just too good to pass up. He is the one with the highest ceiling. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations/hype, he still worthy of the pick.

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.


Typo of the week! (Because it's sort of true.)

Man watching highlights - Fultz just looks like a bust to me. Slower and less explosive than other top picks, lacks strong motor, poor defensively, doesn't look like a winner. I would rather trade out and take Fox, Smith, or Ball if we want a PG

Are some people really labeling Markelle Fultz off a video highlights. That's just unbelievable. That is not true at all. There is no way to tell if a player is going to be a bust or his personality by watching video highlights. He can shoot, pass and play defense.

He shows he can score, pass, and play defense.

Let's be serious here:

Getting lucky enough to be able to select Markelle Fultz with the #1 pick is the biggest thing to happen to this franchise since the KG trade ....it's even bigger than this current ECF appearance in my opinion.

This guy has ultra low bust potential and a Hall of fame player ceiling.
He's 18 years old and doesn't have any weaknesses in his overall offensive game other than needing to develop his abilities going left somewhat.
Look at his advanced stats. Arguably the best college scorer we have seen since...Kyrie? Personally I think he's better in college than Kyrie was at Duke.
He's the best scorer in the country.
He's shoots 40%+ from three.
He has the 2nd highest assist ratio in the country aswell.
His assist % and turnover % are both better than Ball.
He's 6'5" with a 6'10" wingspan and probably still growing.
He's very athletic.
He's got a killer mentality when locked in.

We are going to get MINIMUM an All Star out of this guy. Quote me now. I'll bet all my And 1's x 100.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.
