I get not liking a prospect but at the very least be consistent with all prospects. This is why it looks like you have an agenda. You all could be very much correct w/ Fultz. This **** with his shoulder aside, he has not had a great start and could very much flame out and be a bust. I think only the most homerish of us would deny that....again I was a big Fox/Jackson guy, so yeah I get it going up for a guy who may not be better than what we could have gotten at 3 could suck big time...especially if we ended up helping out the Celtics of all teams in the process. I get the angst over that (think its bit premature but whatever). What I don't get is the goal post moving to justify the constant hatred of a player on your favorite team when at the end of the day the two guys most pumped up in regards to Fultz also have major hurdles to overcome and have not done so in this admittedly short set of games. The fact that people have moved on to Tatum as their "see told you so" guy is just sad at this point considering he might have been one of the few guys from that top bunch that barely anyone talked about predraft. There is a weird double standard going on to justify continuing to be super down on Fultz...instead of giving him the same benifit of the doubt one would give any other rookie. Ball's shot will totally start falling...but Fultz? No he's a finished product fo sho. How bout we all wait and see what happens and let go of our preconceived notions about what is going to happen and let it actually happen for once? There are plenty of things happening right now to talk about than constantly harping on and on about what could be. You guys are getting mad about **** that has not happened yet as if it is currently happening. For all we know Ayton could bomb in college, the Lakers pick ends up at 10 or some ****, and Fultz turns out pretty good. The fact that some are almost hoping for the worst case scenario is just sad
That's what people with an agenda do. It's what they always do. Contrarians want attention... it's why they're contrarians in the first place. Otherwise it would defeat its own purpose of being one.
All of these "arguments" are so hypocritical and revisionist history, it's honestly just sad, embarrassing, and borderline trolling. If Fultz was healthy and having the type of season Ball was having, not only would people be critical, Colangelo and Fultz would be eviscerated for being the biggest idiot GM and biggest draft pick bust in the history of the franchise.
It's really embarrassing to the board and makes our fans look bad. Fultz could return healthy average 20 ppg, and some dork will try to argue that they are "empty points" and he's not really having the type of impact on the team that Lonzo Ball and his 25% shooting percentage are having.
I don't think I've ever ignored a poster on the decade+ I've been part of this board, but an entire campaign just to troll and promote contrarianism is making me damn close. I can handle loons, but when it turns every topic into a redundant argument, the discussion and the content here suffers.
