How Upset Would You Be If Ainge DIDN'T Draft Fultz With #1?

[Phantom255x]

very upset until I took another look at Tatum's highlight video.

So I can see him trading down for Tatum and some more consideration from Philly.

i think we must have saw the same video ...my exact reaction too..LOL......Tatum looked fit, big  and strong as a mule .....able to do alot of hard work , take punishment inside and dish it out ....while having a good court IQ ..... He has Stevens written all over him. 

But that shiney new Ferrari Fultz .....is awful tempting .....in Celtic green trim.

Thinking.... what if Tatum is another Giannis?

It's okay. We'll spend the next five years saying, "why is Ainge such a moron. Could have had Tatum. Instead chose that scrub, Fultz.."

Where's the "Not upset at all because I trust Ainge than any CBers" option?

It's not really CBers opinion, it is the opinion of almost every scout who make a living watching these guys live and studying their film. Obviously scouting isn't a perfect science, but if the consensus is that Fultz is the best player in the draft, I don't really know why Ainge would feel the need to deviate from this.

CBers would only be angry because Ainge would have gone rogue on an otherwise crystal clear decision; it isn't the 16th or 23rd pick we are discussing here.

YES, very tempting!

I'd be pretty upset. But, I loved the Gerald Green pick and thought Rudy Gay would be a superstar, so what do I know? I'm wrong more than I'm right regarding the draft.

Don't be so hard on yourself.  Gay became a 20 point scorer, and at least you didn't want Kris Dunn at 3 last year or say that Demetrius Jackson was already the best point guard on our roster or anything , lol . I guess that it's time for me to retire .

I trust Danny to do what's right for the team

Doesn't matter because if that happens Fultz will become a mini MJ with 3 point range and passing

REALLY UPSET because he could have traded it for something and still got whomever he wanted.

[keevsnick]

Well luckily none of us will ever have to find out.

[slightly biased bias fan]

I still feel that if Josh Jackson can fix his shot mechanics, he's the best two way prospect in the draft.

Agreed.  I'm even willing to eliminate the conditional part of that sentence; Josh Jackson is the best two way prospect in this draft.

Couldn't you say that about anyone with a bad shot?

If rondo ever fixed his jumper he'd be the best point guard since magic johnson. If deandre jordan fixed his jumper he'd be KG 2.0.

Unfortunately people with broken jumpers stay with broken jumpers 99 times out of 100

Pretty much, I won't get upset no matter what. He has access to all the information, and has wisdom we will never have. It's all good.

how do you know he could have traded it?


What if philly didn't want to trade? Or didn't like the proposal?

This isn't the nfl draft where trading down is easy.

He shot .378 from 3 point range at Kansas.  His shot isn't that broken.

Justice Winslow shot 40% in college too. Sample size.

Shot has a huge hitch and he shot like 50% from the ft line.

It's s huge concern and the reason I don't want us doing anything but taking Markell's Fultz
