This is true. But some guys just never do- like Jamal Crawford who I have seen Fultz compared to physically.

:lol: Jamal Crawford? Maybe two Jamal Crawford's put together.

Fultz is jacked. The Wade comp seems accurate.


I don't know, I sort of see the resemblance.

Their body types are literally nothing alike :crazy:

A peaceful question to Celtics fans: Who would you rather draft? Would you seriously consider taking Ball?

Who was the "5 votes for others"? Fox or Jackson?

Great in the pnr, very polished offensively, extremely smooth game with a great handle in traffic, will pop the three off the dribble or if defenders go under. Decent comp?

Reminds me of Harden in Wade's body.

Although he doesn't have Wade's athleticism obviously.


When I saw first 20sec of his game I told my brother he is the same Harden. Before I even heard someone compared him to Harden.

So yea D:

Watch it be chaos on draft day.

Fox goes #2, and Ball falls out of the top 4.

that lakers report from Jordan Schultz has got to be a smoke screen.

I also think DSJ is going to rise to a top 5 pick.

Taken from the Lakers Reddit. This shows three point shooting stats from NBA-level distance from the 2016-17 CBB season.

I'm really impressed by Dennis Smith.

Except in a tweet posted between those two he referenced how Lonzo needs to have a great workout to have the Lakers pick him.

Could this actually be the Lakers trying to squeeze an asset out of Philly? If Philly is convinced the Lakers are taking a player they want(other than Ball), they could have the Lakers take their guy and give them a 2nd round pick(Lakers got none) and #3 for him. If Philly asks them to pick Ball, the Lakers could simply say good job calling our bluff, never mind.

The question is, could Philly actually be convinced the Lakers might take who they want? What if it's one of the wings? Could the Lakers conceivably go after the one of Jackson/Tatum/Isaac that Philly covets? I don't see how Philly could be fooled into thinking they will but it's quite a balancing act but if the price is a 2nd rounder it might be worth it to Philly to just hand it over to for sure get their guy.
