First round pick, Markelle Fultz or Josh Jackson?

[Chris22]

I go back and forth daily.
Right now I am leaning toward Jackson because he is bigger and Kansas is kicking a...

fultz all the way....if we got the 2nd or 3rd....jackson all the way!

Fultz does have a nice shot and reach for his size.

Let's see, Fultz, Ball, or Jackson? Quite a Dilemma?      Butler!

Bigger fan of Jackson for this particular Celtics team.

But Fultz still should be #1 pick.  If Danny sees a weakness in Fultz that other don't (including intangibles for example), he can trade him for Jackson and grab an asset. 

For Jackson to overtake Fultz for the top pick he needs to continue shooting well from outside and nail a ton of threes as Jaylen Brown did when he worked out for the Celtics.  Love Jackson's game and style of play but still think he's in the #2 spot.

Daddy... tell me the story of how the Celtics received all those great draft picks from the Brooklyn Nets again.

Seriously, can't believe we have this opportunity to draft the number one pick in the draft this year, and the Nets will not get significantly better in 2018.

Cousins or Davis, if not draft Fultz

Jackson shoots 55% at the FT line.  Totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Cant't believe i just choose Jackson over Fultz..but yeah Fultz is giving me the impression
he lacks the desire to attack the basket and instead settle for a ton of outside shots
Which in the case he doesn't have enough passing/sharp shooting/defense to compensate for it
and i don't think you can teach that mentallity(ex Wiggins)

In my opinion, taking Josh Jackson over Markelle Fultz would be insane.

Good point.
But players can improve their shooting.

In my opinion, taking Josh Jackson over Markelle Fultz would be insane.

It really depends on result of workout and interviews. If Danny found major red flags on Fultz, he'll take Jackson instead and vice versa. That said, Jackson fits the mold of the Celtics Pride. Pure grit and hustle and brings impact on defensive end. Unselfish to boot too.

He fits the mold of a Danny Ainge prospect perfectly. He's intense, smart, defensively-inclined, old, can't shoot. He'd be a perfect fit.

 I am not totally sold on Fultz.....yet.

 He may be the next Chris Paul , but the fact that he is on such a crappy team makes it really hard to tell for me how goodhe is. Best player on a bad team

In tonight's game against  against UCLA, He is in a win-win position. If the outplays ball Fultz is great, and if he doesn't, it's because Ball has the better team with him.
