He's going to be at worst a multiple time All Star but superstardom may depend on if he is going to be playing the point or the two guard spot in the future.

I would be shocked if he doesn't end up an All-Star especially learning under Stevens.

The real argument is who is a better prospect between him and Simmons imo.

Simmons is easily a better prospect. Size relative to skill is the name of the game when it comes to the NBA.

How Good does the addition of Fultz immediately make Boston? I think he has the size and skill set to be a big-time player as soon as he gets into the league.

He doesn't fix their problems at all or add anything to what they already have. They need bigs, if they want to grow with their current core they'll have to wait til next year for a top big prospect.

He doesn't fix any of their problems, drafting him is insuring that they have a star on the roster 5 years from now.

Especially for Boston they would take Simmons in a heart beat. I think some other teams would take Fultz. I think of him highly and like him more than Ben individually, he's one of the few prospects that I've watched multiple games on this college basketball season. His team was complete ass. The second best player on his team David Crisp will probably end up in Europe or someshyt. Just horrible basketball what was played in Washington despite that he had like 4-5 off the dribble plays that had you like :picard:. Just a complete package offensively...he has to tune up some things and work on his explosion but he's good.....he's damn good possibly top 5 for his position type good.

Simmons just scares the shyt out of me. The jumper is broke and he doesn't want to fix it, his finishing is wonky in that he drives left a lot of the time but finishes right with some weird ass hand changing push shot. He'll probably draw a lot of fouls but I dunno. Also who knows just how good his penetration will be in the half-court. In transition he'll look damn good but the game isn't just transition.

I think Ben Simmons would go 1 in this draft, the skillset at his size usually has teams falling over themselves.

Would the age difference between the two matter to you?

Nah, it's not that big of a gap, Fultz turns 19, then Simmons turns 21.

The Celtics would take Simmons if he were in this draft, the whole 6'7+ point forward is a rarity in the NBA, there's Giannis, Dray & Bron filling that role.

Because by the time Fultz reaches his potential Isaiah will probably be playing in China?

He looks like a good/solid player....but I'm just not seein it :noah:.....A Wall or Rose conparison? :hhh: When nggas are that good...you can see it immediately. Wall was lightening quick at Kentucky...nd Rose was explosively quick wit handles nd size at Memphis. It was visible at first glance....A Kyrie? I still don't see it. Maybe he does end up bein sneaky good tho like a Lilliard...:manny:
