If we don't land Fultz, I will cry.

That is all.

Fultz is looking like he's bulked up a little. Draft him and play him at the 2 spot.

Ok great he's a decent shooter and will make a fair amount of shots, but if you actually break down his form when he shoots, its quite worrying. What I mean is, if you watch how he brings the ball up his body and across his face, makes him prone to quite a fair amount of blocks if you ask me, which wont translate into a lot of perimeter shots. He is gonna have to develop his game driving to the lane to be effective in the league I think.....

If I had to play him, I would be daring him to dribble right and pull up. Guys like AB and Smart would have a field day stripping the ball as he gets ready to shoot.

The fact that he's going to the combine is a good sign he's gunna kill it. I can picture him checking in above 6'5 in shoes, too. SG may be his best position long term.

I wouldn't even care. He can play either guard spot, no problem.

I'm more excited for the draft lottery than I am game 5.

Some good stuff from Mike Zarren in here, although I think us Celtics RealGMers know all about the lotto odds by now...

Like Zoolander before him, he is not an ambiturner.

Wow. That's a lot bigger than the last time I saw him.

^^ if that really is Markelle Fultz, he's gotta be on steroids.

Jesus. He looks physical. Man. Salivating, but not getting hopes up.

I am a cynic, but I think every prospect probably gets hooked up with "the program" when they join one of those training facilities. There's just too much money involved, and so many ways to get an advantage without ever going close to being detected, that I doubt there are many totally 'clean' athletes in the sport. Even micro dosing up to levels just below the 'cheating' (positive test) threshold. You kinda have to be crazy not to do it. NFL would be even worse.

London2Boston · Post #1953 » by **London2Boston** » Mon May 8, 2017 8:47 pm

Hasn't he been out injured for months? He probably just spent all his time lifting as he couldn't play.

Trying not to get my hopes up but how funny would it be if the Celtics got two legit top-tier studs in the draft the next two years?

I full expect to be disappointed but man, gotta like the odds.

We are not getting nb.1...No way 3 years in a row the worst team gets first pick.

I expect nb.2 or 3.

Trade the pick if it's not nb.1

The thing about odds is that last years outcome literally doesn't matter. Neither does the year preceding it.

My sources indicate this will be one of the greatest anti-Celtics lottery conspiracies ever.

BigTrade92 · Post #1959 » by **BigTrade92** » Mon May 8, 2017 11:12 pm

I'm fully convinced that it's either Fultz or trade the pick for Butler or George.

Cannot envision Ball, Jackson or Tatum in a C's uniform.
