point quard toughest position to learn both offensively and on defense
it is rare to find a guard of smarts caliber of tenacity and defensive skill
i don't think drafting a point guard will have a return for years without having length and strength
i went and watched marcus's mix tape his last year in school-he was lighter and more explosive and had extraordinary strength and motor
i feel fultz will not make an impact for years,rozier is tough as nails  players skipped tryouts to avoid him he has elite length ,vertical and burst
a point guard must run the offense and play d on best guards in league must be able to beat the likes of avery ,smart rozier and then all the length and strength of nba bigs
then there are the early injuries like smart,exum,gordon ,jabari,randle,lavine,nance,simmons
what did brown learn-get to the gym
maybe fultz or ball can dance their way around,maybe ball at 6-6 will be a pistol pete or fultz a lliard--devon booker was  an impact player,marcus was a impact guard and part of a turnaround team
kris dunn having a so so rookie season as well as heild both older boys-

It's not about learning.  These guys have been playing their entire lives and know what to do.

It's about talent and ability and in this case, potential.  If someone like Fultz is a franchise player, heck yes you grab him.  The best do damage from day 1.

Fultz would easily go against Trey Burkses, Exums and some other 2nd unit PGs. Whats wrong in having him on the bench during the aclimatization period. He gets to learn from hardworking established vets and listen stories from the legends. Thats the best place to put in any talented prospect.
Brown, Smart and Fultz would be a strong backup unit, I dare to say spectacular.
