I'm not convinced Fultz is finished. He's always been criticized for folding under pressure, but he's also been given unlimited expectations, which he also set upon himself unfortunately with his, "I know I'm the 1st pick in the draft," comments. Then again, what other candidate or prospect willingly undermines himself?
Taking a look the metrics, Fultz ranked favorably on pick and rolls, a staple for any guard in the NBA, nowadays, (30.4% of his offense, placing him in the 93rd percentile,) he's also hit 45.3% of corner spot up 3's in college. He's been compared to Lillard, Kyrie, and D'Angelo Russell. All players who do have similar characteristics in how they operate in the top of the key, make bounce passes, and just score in a similar fashion. Being compared to those prospects aren't anything to sneeze at either, and I can definitely see some similarities in their games, for sure.
The 76ers were undeniably convinced they had fleeced Ainge. Obviously, the question will still remain for years to come, did the 76ers really make such a terrible trade, and will this haunt them for years to come? I say this, because you could slot Tatum or Simmons at the 4, and let Tatum operate as the 3rd complimentary scorer, (which is the role the Celtics have placed him in, and which he's done excellent to begin with,) but then again... With Simmons at the helm manning the majority of the facilitating/drive and kicking out plays, it simply leaves absolutely not that much pressure on Fultz to get healthy, and go back to the rim breaking and mid range dead-eye scorer that he was in college. All Fultz has to do is literally work on getting healthy, improving his shooting ability, and being able to go back to using his space creating moves to score from his mid range jumper.
People really judge Ainge's drafting... But to evaluate talent and your job as GM is to make smart personnel decisions minus any emotional attachments, and hit any pick you have in the top 10.
I think Ainge has clearly done both.
But yes, that was an extremely crazy off-season... Like seriously.
