Kyrie talks lack of athleticism . Makes me feel great about Fultz!

[rondohondo]

Kyrie post game was talking about his lack of athleticism . He mentioned how he can create just enough separation to get his shot off. Also talked about how his footwork makes up for his lack of athleticism at the rim.

This makes me feel Fultz is going to be a stud!

2nd longest PG in the last 30 years, better athlete than Kyrie. Can already fill it up from all levels, and has a kyrie type handle


Oh boy now I'm excited!

Finally......

BTW he's a real nice playmaker

Fultz does NOT have a Kyrie like handle

[CelticsElite]

Fultz has a better jumpshot

[ETNCeltics]

Fultz has a great handle. Foolish to downplay it.

Fultz has a better jumpshot

Considering Kyrie is a proven scorer, 3pt contest winner, excellent 3pt shooter in the NBA right now, I fail to see how that s remotely true.

Fultz is just as good as Kyrie at ball handling and shooting at the same age, but more athletic and bigger and stronger.  He will be a better player in 2 to 3 years.  And he's ours.

He's only 18 and already knows how to change speeds.  John Wall is just learning this skill.

Some of you just make me cringe

So Fultz will be hitting stardom around the time LeBron is declining.

Awesome—we only have to wait three more years to reach the Finals.

You're acting like Fultz would be the only addition to the team.
Ever heard of free agency?
Ever heard of trades?

Fultz will be just 1 in a series of moves that Danny needs to make to get the Celtics into contender status.

Kyrie has arguably the best handle since Iverson. I'm gonna go ahead and continue to downplay it if people continue to make these over the top claims about Fultz.

This.

Fultz has a very good handle.  But in terms of ball-handling, Kyrie is on another level from anybody else.  Shooting, finishing, passing, rebounding, defense?  These are all categories where Fultz could realistically match or possibly even surpass Kyrie.  But not the handle.
