On offense,  with the ball in his hands he is amazing.

But I wonder about his defense in the NBA. I am not sure he could stay in front of his man. On draftexpress they mentioned defense as a weakness. I have only see a little of ball on defense, but was not impressed.

Can. Anyone talk about this?  Thanks.

I think he lacks the quickness and toughness to succeed in defending, his only tool is his height/length, maybe Curry-like type

This kid is unbelievable.
Don't see the hype really.. all of his passing Smart can already do it and the 3 is nice but even that remains a Qmark to pro
He is smooth and beatuful to watch but i don;t see alpha in him, that 3:15 passing is bad..

At this point I have him as the fourth best player in the draft. What a loaded draft.

Fultz

Tatum

Smith, Jr

Ball

Motor , work ethic , IQ seem more important than ever since CBS has arrived.  They want guys with their head screwed on tight.  Ball seems like a good guy .  But I admit the circus of clowns , the rest of his family is a distraction for such young fellow to carry as baggage . Hopefully he can push them to the background out of his professional career.  I think he will .....I'm just wondering if dealing with his looney father will turn CBS or DA off ....they will be his bosses.
I personally think the current Celtics needs another scorer to help IT ,  more than another Rondo type, how I kinda view Ball s game.    Fultz can get his shot from anywhere and reminds me of da Beard.

I love Ball. I'm a sucker for a great passer though.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

His form on the long ball looks like Shawn Marion, a chest shot.  :(

He seems too weak to play NBA defense, remember RJ hunter. He looks really good on the offensive end even with that strange looking shot. He needs to hit free throws much better. He is very exciting to watch and Ball and Jaylen lobs would be a thing of beauty.

 Funniest thing I've ever seen. People that don't think he's not the best player in the draft.

 Now with Fultz having injury problems. Did you know this is Washingtons worse season in the 16 years they have had this head coach.

 With the #1 overall pick? Something doesn't add up.

 You can count on one hand the players with higher BBIQ than ball going back to the 1980s.

 This kid truly is a basketball unicorn.

I'm nervous that he won't be able to create shots on offense. Everything he gets is off the pick and roll or on step backs. I'm worried that he won't come into the NBA and be able to create off the dribble.

I'm also worried that his shot mechanics will make it difficult for him to get off his shot when he dribbles to the right (since he brings the ball to his left then flings it across his body).

Fultz is on a terrible team, where UCLA is a great team. It makes it difficult to know how much of it is Ball making UCLA great and how much of it is Ball being on a great team.

I'm also not sure about Ball's defense.

I actually prefer both Jackson and Fultz to Ball because of those issues.
