I don't really like the Roy comparison very much.  Fultz seems like a much better shooter and Roy was like a human explosion going to the rim.

I know he's 2 inches shorter but Fultz looks like Paul Pierce. The what he moves the step back, all the herky jerky moves. He looks so familiar.

Ceiling: better version of John wall
Floor: cj mccollum

Fultz has a better shooting than wall and kyrie. Fultz has better rebounding and passing than kyrie, lilliard , and roy.
Ive been seeing this a lot.

McCollum as the floor is absurd. His floor is as a shorter Evan Turner with a jumper, but without the post game.

Strange. I remember Roy as very skilled and fluid but not particularly explosive. Perhaps I'm getting old.

oldschool comparison would be a cross between jerry west and elgin baylor imo. The game is so different now in ways though. 

I don't see the brandon roy comparison at all.  harden yes.  Bigger more athletic version of IT but not quite as creative with the ball which is understandable because it has to be that way because of his height to do what he does.

I wouldnt compare him to guys like cp3 either at all.  Or even lillard although lillard is a closer comparison ala tim hardaway but i dont really see that comparison too much either.

he plays with pace and a certain rhythm but is also of capable of slowing it down and playing with a defensive mindset imo.  He is more a free flowing player though most of the time getting in passing lanes making plays having hte ball in his hands a lot whether with the dribble or giivng it up and getting it back.  College is different that way though.  In the pro's he is going to have to mix it up more and play a set offense at times and not have the ball as much especially with IT here.  I think he will definately be a catalyst though.

And no  I don't think he's a laker because he reminds me of west and baylor. I think he is a modern celtic version of that.  He is understated but hardnosed. Ball strikes me more as a laker.

His first few years he would take it to the rim like a stronger bigger Tony Allen in his early days.

Might be that I remember the times after his knees gave way.

He was explosive enough before his knees completely failed him.  A 40.5 inch vertical is not something to scoff at.  I think he was just so smooth in his play that he didn't look explosive, but it was (briefly!) there if he needed it.

It is so good we got the first pick because I really don't think ball fits here.   We would have been looking at a totally different scenario and not nearly as good.  Fultz is a celtic through and through.  Understated but confident.  IT is somewhat flashy but hardnosed.  Fultz is understated but hardnosed. So effortless the way he scores and moves around and elevates for the shot or dunk.  Both are celtics. 

I think the hardnosed part will show more in the nba than it did in college. He will have to adjust some.

I think IT is more the personality behind htis team though.  He may be more jimmy G than Brady but I think IT is our Brady.  Fultz is our Jimmy G. thing is is jimmy g is more IT in personality but IT is just charismatic whatever way you want to spin it.  It's moreso than jimmy g.

I don't see Wall (or Westbrook for that matter) at all, he just doesn't move at that pace.  He projects to be a better shooter though.  He's certainly not a better shooter than Kyrie Irving either.

The Harden comp is the best to me, he's got the same crafty game and pace.  He can push it, but is often content to take his time and probe.  He's not as heavy as Harden, and seems like he's more athletic.  We'll see if his game develops as well as Harden's has.

Beal with handles!!

Beal with handles or mccollum with explosiveness are the two best

I don't see wall either.  Fultz has a nasty streak to him.  Just look at his face. I think he is going to be more focused in the nba though especially on defense.  I don't even see Beal. Maybe at the college level.  I think he is going to be more hardnosed than beal even.

Wall is a ball handler, great passer and somewhat of a good shooter. Fultz is a pure offensive beast.

I think Fultz is even more confident than Wall.  Fultz just has utmost confidence.  It's ridiculous.  I have total confidence in him.

Why I compare him to Elgin Baylor in ways.  He's just that well rounded.  But maybe even more confident and hardnosed. He's skinnier though and more of a pure offensive scorer.  just a fluid offensive player. There is nothing lost as far as pace with him.

A cross between Steph Curry and Klay Thompson is also a good comparison imo.  West coast players but he's a celtic in mindset.  He's jerry west's worst nightmare. The national media never hypes up celtics players or the team.  I will.
