Hindsight may be 20/20 but there is also perhaps a little revisionist history as to how much of a consensus 1 he was. Simmons, Lebron, Kyrie, Oden we’re consensus 1’s. I don’t remember that level for fultz and if there was that much of a consensus, Boston sure as hell wouldn’t have traded out.

I like the Butler trade for you guys. It will take a few games to gel but it should be good.0

Every draft is different. Nobody is comparing him to Lebron.

Compared to the guys guys at the top of the 2017 draft class, he was the consensus top pick. This cannot be disputed. And the problems he is having in the NBA could not have been predicted by anyone. It is the most unusual of circumstances.
And Boston didn’t have a need on their roster for a player like Fultz, while the Sixers absolutely did.www.myspace.com0 -

Then leave Lebron out of it. Still not the other 3 and I am sure there are plenty of others I can come up with. I’d like to hit up the old google machine because I remember a lot of who the Fuck is fultz outside of mostly hardcore college and Sixers fansThe Juggler said:

There was also plenty of debate over which was the top PG in that draft, Fultz or Lonzo Ball, not just who was the top player. The opinion of most was Ball was the better player but the baggage of his father made Fultz a safer draft pick. If Lonzo had a normal father, he'd very likely have been drafted before Fultz, quite possibly #1.Cliffy6745 said:Hindsight may be 20/20 but there is also perhaps a little revisionist history as to how much of a consensus 1 he was.

I remember there was plenty of debate (and since the Celtics had the #1 pick up until the trade there was plenty of local coverage of it) over 4 players as the possible #1 pick in that draft, Fultz, Ball, Tatum and Jackson. I don't recall Fultz ever being a consensus best player in the draft. Like I said above, most thought Ball was a better player but the Lavar factor took him off the radar of a lot of teams not named Lakers.The Juggler said:Cliffy6745 said:Hindsight may be 20/20 but there is also perhaps a little revisionist history as to how much of a consensus 1 he was.

.- Markelle Fultz seems to be a virtual lock at No. 1 to the Sixers and Lonzo Ball is all but certainly headed to the Lakers at No. 2. Both appear in those positions in all 12 mock drafts we survey.
- But what will the Celtics do at No. 3? Assuming they keep the pick (some think Boston could deal away the No. 3 pick), seven of the 12 mocks now see the Celtics taking Jayson Tatum, while four think they're eyeing Kansas' Josh Jackson. In our previous breakdown from Monday, those roles were reversed. But it now seems that Tatum is the guy for Boston.
1. Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington
For the third time in the last four years, the 76ers have walked away from the draft with the consensus top player available. Fultz is a do-everything guard who can run a team, score at all three levels of the floor, and (hopefully) play better defense than he did at Washington. He’s the final piece in what could be a dominant Big Three with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, although all of them are best with the ball in their hands. A pass-first guard like Lonzo Ball might have been a better fit, but Fultz provides first-option insurance in case either Simmons or Embiid goes down again. The Process faithful can bask in the #RTArmageddon tonight. They have earned it.

Sorry, man. I'm not the one utilizing revisionist history. He was the consensus number pick for the 2017 draft and was a perfect fit for this team at the time:Cliffy6745 said:
Then leave Lebron out of it. Still not the other 3 and I am sure there are plenty of others I can come up with. I’d like to hit up the old google machine because I remember a lot of who the Fuck is fultz outside of mostly hardcore college and Sixers fansThe Juggler said:
Every draft is different. Nobody is comparing him to Lebron. That’s crazy talk.Cliffy6745 said:Hindsight may be 20/20 but there is also perhaps a little revisionist history as to how much of a consensus 1 he was. Simmons, Lebron, Kyrie, Oden we’re consensus 1’s. I don’t remember that level for fultz and if there was that much of a consensus, Boston sure as hell wouldn’t have traded out.
I dont think this is a Greg oden situation...
Compared to the guys guys at the top of the 2017 draft class, he was the consensus top pick. This cannot be disputed. And the problems he is having in the NBA could not have been predicted by anyone. It is the most unusual of circumstances.
And Boston didn’t have a need on their roster for a player like Fultz, while the Sixers absolutely did.

.- Markelle Fultz seems to be a virtual lock at No. 1 to the Sixers and Lonzo Ball is all but certainly headed to the Lakers at No. 2. Both appear in those positions in all 12 mock drafts we survey.
- But what will the Celtics do at No. 3? Assuming they keep the pick (some think Boston could deal away the No. 3 pick), seven of the 12 mocks now see the Celtics taking Jayson Tatum, while four think they're eyeing Kansas' Josh Jackson. In our previous breakdown from Monday, those roles were reversed. But it now seems that Tatum is the guy for Boston.
1. Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington
For the third time in the last four years, the 76ers have walked away from the draft with the consensus top player available. Fultz is a do-everything guard who can run a team, score at all three levels of the floor, and (hopefully) play better defense than he did at Washington. He’s the final piece in what could be a dominant Big Three with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, although all of them are best with the ball in their hands. A pass-first guard like Lonzo Ball might have been a better fit, but Fultz provides first-option insurance in case either Simmons or Embiid goes down again. The Process faithful can bask in the #RTArmageddon tonight. They have earned it.
I'm happy with Butler. Give it a little time, get another shooter in here, and let's see what happens this Spring.www.myspace.com0 - Markelle Fultz seems to be a virtual lock at No. 1 to the Sixers and Lonzo Ball is all but certainly headed to the Lakers at No. 2.
