A little humble pie all around. Pretty sure we could find more threads that aged about as well, though this one's pretty choice.

My recollection is that the reaction to Jaylen's pick was mixed, but more than 50% negative. Ainge picked another scrappy, athletic tweener who can't shoot!

I know you bumped your own thread triboy in order to toot your own horn, but you still deserve a tp. I am not totally sure you were calling for Tatum to absolutely be the #1 pick, but you certainly raised many good points as to why he should be considered over Fultz.

Fultz may end up being awesome, but I don’t think there is a Cs fan in existence who isn’t happy with the trade now.

Yes. 

Fultz "mentality" is out to lunch. Doesnt have alpha dog mentality. World talent but andrew wiggins type mentality

Tatum has a killer instincts

My only question is why did you wait until now to bump this thread?

We knew the kid was a bum when he faked a shoulder injury to save face for screwing up his shot.

Okay I just gave you TP triboy good call.

If I get bored maybe I'll resurrect a Jaylen Brown draft night thread. That one will be filled with a lot of yucks.

they don't know what they're talking about.

If Danny Ainge took Tatum over Fultz me and thousands of other Celtics fans would hunt him down with pitchforks and fire and make him pay.
In other words, there is zero chance that Ainge drafts anyone over Fultz in this draft, letalone drafting Tatum over Fultz.

CBS and Vitale are just out of touch.

lol. some of these comments didnt age well

Thank god that I was dead wrong about Tatum. And Rozier, lol ;D.

I was all aboard the Jaylen hype train so I’d love to see some of those old threads.

It's funny because I was too, and I remember Celticsblog as a whole literally had a "Fultz Week" one random week in June before the Draft. It looked so obvious they'd keep #1 and pick Fultz. LOL. Glad it worked out the way it did though.  8)

I remember that well (and I remember participating :P )

Fultz is Harden but he might put effort on defence!! That was a goodie

Fultz actually looks pretty good e crept for his outside shot. He can penetrate with ease and dish.

If I were Coach Brown I’d give him some decent minutes 2nd game to mix things up. Can’t do worse than their other guards.

I just reread parts of the 2016 draft night thread. I had forgotten how many dunces post here.  ;)

Here it is. Enjoy.

Slightly off topic but how does Tatum compare to Michael Porter?

Only triboy would go off topic on his own topic....lol

Back when i was salivating over a backcourt of IT4 and Markelle Fultz.

Boy what was I on....
