without watching... the answer is easily Fultz. Zero question in my eyes.

Fultz at this moment. he looks more explosive too

but i think Ball is probably the better point guard. that court vision is sick

I choose Fultz but I'm higher on both of these guys than most

Shouldn't the question be Lonzo Ball vs D. Russell (the way Russell is balling and leading the Nets to playoff)? Lonzo Ball is ok in passing but nothing much to contribute in points like Russell. His shot is just so unconventional to be a consistent shooter. He is not tough enough to be aggressive consistently otherwise he can try to do it like Ben Simmons, not good shooter but great at attacking the rim. Oh well, perhaps Russell really sucked during his time at the Lakers because as he said the pressure to perform and to be closely watched and criticized was too much for him.

Lonzo Ball can hope to have a Andre Miller type of career. Solid. Good court vision. No real jump shot but can give u 11-14 points. And 8-9 assists and solid defense.

Ball.
Though Dr. J, Darnell Hillman, and Artis Gilmore's fros got most of the attention, George C. Trapp's fro should be noted for its bouncy qualities.

I'll take the one with elite floor vision and that shot nearly 40% from 3 at a very high rate.

Really, over the one who showed elite pn'r and shooting off the dribble skills, and averaged 23/6/6 on 48% shooting and 41% from 3 on as much volume as Ball as an 18 year old? And also had a near 7 ft wingspan and a great handle.

Fultz was a great prospect who suddenly lost his best skill--pull-up shooting--in one of the weirdest events in draft history. Any comparison between the two has to take that into account, otherwise we're talking nonsense.

Easily. Things done as an 18 year old are great but he's 23 now and currently Lonzo is better and with a higher ceiling. Lonzo currently has a floor of Jrue Holiday IMO.
