Not sure if this video has been posted or not. It's a couple months old, sooo..What amazes me is how square he is with the rim on ALL his shots, even the acrobatic ones. I know these are all "highlights" but I'm gonna have a big grin on my face if the first 13 cards pulled tomorrow aren't green (or is it still Brooklyn's pick officially? lol). He is EASILY the best player in this draft.

Looking at these highlights, I think I understand why the scouting report says he struggles against superior competition. He doesn't look too quick, too athletic, or too strong. Sure, he's crafty, but looks like he's far from a sure thing.

Koz, who would your pick be if the C's landed the #1 pick?

Probably Fultz. I really hate the idea of Ball mostly because of the baggage he comes with. But I won't be disappointed with any of the top 5 prospects.

Then again, I don't really understand college basketball so what do I know :)

To me Fultz looks like a point guard version of Pierce. He has that same slow look  deceptive game. He can get his shot off in so many ways. Changes speeds and can pass and quickly pull up. He has an old school game but he's also very athletic. He's one of the few college players I've seen in years that looks like an NBA player in college. I think he could start right away. I'm very happy with this pick.

Fultz is a huge guard. 6'5" with a 6'10" wingspan at 19 years old. I can see him growing few inches and play 3 down the road.

I can see that too and as I stated above Fultz reminds me of Pierce. I just rewatched a bunch of highlights and Fultz has all those Paul Pierce moves. I think it's uncanny but maybe it's just me.

This is the thing I worry about Fultz. Skills can be developed but mindset can't easily be.

He needs to play like he's playing for a final roster spot here if he's the guy Danny is gonna pick him. I have yet to see him takeover in Washington. Seeing Kelly grow in this team kinda eased up my worries with his mindset but I don't know if he can be satisfied like Brown with limited touches on the bench.
