The link I followed has Fultz number one.

Regardless, Tatum over Fultz is foolish. You take the franchise guy with the pick.

With IT4 out for 3-6 months plus rehab you better draft Fultz.

Danny Ainge will be running for his life if he chooses Tatum over Fultz.

I'm an ardent Ainge supporter. I'd lead the pitchfork-wielding townspeople.

This is just speculation, it isn't based on anything other than an illogical hunch.

As for the mock, no, he doesn't have inside sources. He's just an idiot who should not be paid to write about basketball, as he clearly lacks a fundamental understanding of team building in the NBA.

His logic... a "win now pick".

Utter stupidity.

I think Jaylen already gives you a lot of what Tatum does. Jaylen has a longer wingspan though not has high a standing reach. They are comparably size small forwards that do a lot of the same things.
Jaylen and Tatum are almost nothing alike.  Jaylen more similar to Jackson than tatum.

He's not particularly similar to Jackson. Jackson's best role may be as a point forward.

I can see how someone who doesn't obsess about the draft like alot of us do will go for Tatum's size and skillset over Fultz.

He's just a bit out of touch. Fultz is so complete offensively and dominates the pick and roll so well with his handles and shooting that you just can't go past him unless some severe attitude problems arise during pre draft investigating.

Saying this crap will also get him a lot of clicks which isnwhat his editor/boss wants.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

All true, unfortunately.

You can go against the grain without being a blithering idiot. My first mock, for example, had Josh Jackson to the Lakers instead of Lonzo.
