Report: Multiple lotto teams prefer Fox over Fultz, Fox stock rising
1. That's not what he said, and
2. HuffPo doesn't strike me as the first place to go for the NBA inside scoop.
how is that not what they said
He said multiple lottery teams think Fox is a better PG.
Even if "multiple lottery teams" really do think that (which is a highly questionable statement on its own right), it doesn't mean that they prefer Fox over Fultz, or that indeed Fox is the better player.
That's not a very useful statement either way. Demetrius Jackson is probably a better PG than Avery Bradley, but there's a reason why Bradley starts and Jackson spent most of the season in the NBDL.
