 I think it's a great question. With all the Simmons hype I was disappointed in his effort last year.
 
 He's injured that hurts his stock but he's still a big-time prospect. I'll be interested to see these poll results.

  Simmons

 19.2 ppg 11.8 RPG 4.8 APG 3.4 tov 2 spg . 8 BPG

 .560fg% .670ft% only attempted three three's that year and hit 1.


 Fultz

 23.1 ppg 6 APG 6 RPG 1.7 spg 1.4 bpg 3 tov

 .490% fg .403 3p% 4.3 3pa .678 ft%

If Simmons were in this draft, he'd go number 1.  His floor is a 6'10" 240lb Rondo which is mighty nice.  Just needs to develop a decent jumper.  Playing for us he'd probably lead the league in rebounding.

 Not so sure about that. Last year was a crappy draft. Only Ingram to compete with.

 It comes down to team preference.

Simmons = this team needs a PF more than another guard + Simmons would be a great fit in Stevens offense and would be a lot of fun to watch.

Edit: I think Fultz is probably the better player and certainly the more sure thing but I would be really excited to see Simmons in Stevens' Celtics offense. That would be so much fun.

Based on what? Immediate impact? There are only few rookies in NBA history that became #1 option or impact player since day 1. I'll wait 3-4 years before evaluating this draft. People said 2011 was a weak class. How wrong were they when that class already produced 5-all stars in 5 years.

If Philly came calling about a swap, Simmons for the first (assuming the C's get it), I might lean towards doing that.  It's a close call........

This team could definitely use the big guy, but Ainge would probably go with the player he thinks has the better killer instinct and desire to dominate and play defense.  That wouldn't be Simmons.

I don't like Simmons. I also don't like Ball... those guys have the feel of perennial losers to me.  To me, Fultz looks like a guy who will be a good NBA player on a winning team.

Makes no difference how crappy last year was and how good this year is, when you are talking about 1 player and that player is Simmons.  I'm pretty confident Simmons would go 1 this summer just as he did last summer.

Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

I rather have Fultz because he is the only selectable option.

I guess Simmons makes more sense considering C's lineup

Fultz by a country mile.

In the NBA today the 3 point shot is king. Fultz can really shoot it, Simmons can not. Fultz is great at creating offense for himself, Simmons looks to pass more often than not.

Our offense is centered around 5 out spacing that stretches the defense. Fultz stretches the defense, Simmons does not. Fultz has value off the ball as a shooter, Simmons does not have value off the ball.

Fultz for me.  I worry that Simmons will never be a good scorer.  No doubt in my mind about Fultz.
