It kills me when y'all think skinny dudes can't play :smh:
It's not that. I'm a big fan of Isaac. My thing is this: if y'all don't think his physical build is an obstacle, he should be going first, because I don't see many glaring flaws in his game. If he's the next skinny star to follow in KD and Giannis' trails then why not lump in Isaac in the Fultz /Ball /Jackson tier?

I don't see the ball skills/perimeter skills in Issac to make him the best player in the draft. I think he could end up a taller skinny Draymond type versatile defender.

The Cosmos
Think I saw on realgm he canceled his heat workout. So he may have a late lotto promise. I know he's worked out for the Kings and Blazers.
I hope not. Dammit...the Blazers shouldn't take any more chances on injured players.

Dude has zero holes in his game and is an elite athlete. I do find his college resume unimpressive tho

He's not an elite athlete. Stop with this mess. He's Eric Gordon.

For the record, Eric Gordon also had a 40 inch vertical at the draft combine. Same with OJ Mayo. While Russell Westbrook only had a 35 inch vertical.

This is why I don't use the vertical leap test as a measure of athleticism. I use the tape. And on film, Fultz is no elite athlete.

I know, Kyrie has t-rex arms which is part of the reason why he'll never be a good defender (in addition to a weak frame), but as far as scoring goes I feel like Fultz could be just as deadly scoring as Irving who is the best isolation scorer in the league.

Markelle Fultz is the PG equivalent of Glenn Big Dog Robinson.

Expect a lot of empty stats that don't lead Philly anywhere.

The east belongs to Giannis and Thon Maker starting in 2019.

Isaac to me has more talent than any player in this draft, Fultz included.


With that said he is physically worthless in the NBA for the next couple of years at least.

You said the same thing about Zach LaVine and have looked stupid since his rookie year.

Isaac is the player the Wolves need to make it into the playoffs next year.
