This is a very hard call for me. All of these kids are so young and will take time to develop. Right now with no NBA games played, just based on summer league and preseason, I'd have to go with Fox as the best two way point guard in this draft.

Fox has a real bad jumper. Very terrible 3 pt shot. Its basketball not a track meet. He seems like a nice kid but have to be honest

1) Ball
2) Smith
3) Fultz
4) Fox
5) Teodosic (not drafted, but considered a rookie)

I have no idea.  It seems like Dennis Smith and Fox are gonna look the best for at least the first couple of years.

Ball is gonna be like Rondo only with a loose trigger on a significantly better jumper.

Fultz is gonna have a hard transition playing off Simmons.

All these guys are teenagers, pretty much, and point guards take a while to develop.

Is Bird a PG? If so, him!  ;D If not, whoever we drafted or picked up that's a rookie and a PG! Coming out of nowhere!!

Really, I'm thinking Ball or DSJ.

I have no idea what has possibly changed in the last 3 months to make anybody think Fultz isn't the best PG in the draft except for the team he's going to play for.

Right out of the gate DSJ dude is already ballin like he's been in the league a few years.

I want to see Fultz because of all the hype of him being a generational player. Guys like that are great for the league.

My gut says long term it will be Ball but who knows maybe someone we aren't even looking at busts out like IT4.
ok fine

Have you been paying attention at all to him? He changed his entire shot. He looks clueless as a finisher. He is even worse defender than people thought. Tatum and Ball look like the top two players. Issac and Jackson have looked much better. Sixers fans are in denial about Fultz vs. Tatum.

Now Fultz is 19 and hasn't even played a regular season game but he was never considered an elite athlete with a massively high ceiling. He was considered the safest player in the draft because he had such an advanced offensive game. But he doesn't have that now and all his other flaws are showing. That is why so many have soured on him.

Longterm Ball is the safest, but Smith has the most upside. For this season, even though he wasn't drafted, Teodosic is the best rookie.
