I don't see Fultz as super athletic like Jaylen I guess is what I'm saying.  I think he's more athletic than IT but IT pretty athletic in a small package. 

I would guess Fultz broad jump is probably similar to pierce  but he's shorter so you have to take that into account.

I don't think he is a super athlete.  He's a very good one though. Pierce was an underrated athlete.  Still a great athlete. People saw him as not that but the dude was still a great athlete.

Maybe a bit more athletic than pierce but he's smaller. It equals the same thing 

The broad jump is more interesting that way then a standing leap. You have a taller player.  It's more the distance from the ground.  But both are interesting in ways.

He's more athletic than you think.  Maybe not quite Jaylen, but that's mostly because he's not as long.  He's pretty impressive and especially considering he looks effortless doing it:

He jumps from outside the key and dunks easy off an alley and dunks from the FT line in this, and this is last year when he was coming out of HS.

That's what I'm tryinig to say though. It's more the total distance and ground you cover.   Plus how high you are actually jumping.  Measurables are weird that way. 

I think he is probably more athletic than pierce.   Pierce had more weight and size on him.  Can't jump as high.  He's probably somewhere between jaylen and pierce.  Might surprise me.  might be as good an athlete as jaylen but the size is different.  Like i said it's weird that way.

I have good eyes that way without even seeing the numbers. I can tell by how he's built.

I think he's more athletic than we're giving him credit for.  He doesn't go full speed all the time because he's already adept at changing speeds which is normally an advanced skill and more effective than just going full speed.  There are videos where you can see his head is within a couple of inches of the rim.  Given his height, that means he has a 40" plus vertical.  There's also a video where he dunks when jumping just inside the free throw line.  Plus a lot of game video where he's spinning and finishing at the rim.  He does show a lot of the skills Pierce had, which is incredible at 18, but I think he's clearly a better athlete.

Size doesn't matter. It's what you do with it. Size does matter it's what you do with it. If a guy with an 12 inch slong did to his wife what IT is doing with a basketball he'd probably kill her.  Yes I did just say that.

I have to go though because that's all I can think about right now.  It's interesting but funny too.

MAthetmatically though I think Fultz is a very good athlete.  I'd have to see the measurables but I'm guessing what I'm saying is true.  More goes into it then the basic numbers too. 

He has my endorsement though.   I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. Ultimately people are people. 

They have different strengths they can utilize regardless of measurables.  I think Fultz is a good one.

You wrote a lot there and probably had a few points, but the images I have in my head after reading that are Dirk Diggler and John Holmes.

People sleep on fultz ability to assist and rebound. The guy can pass and see plays before they happen. He can pass anywhere. He's not on lonzo ball level of passing but he's close
For all of Ball's playmaking ability, Fultz actually had a higher assist percentage than Ball.
 That's pretty incredible given the team around Fultz.

Higher ast% and higher ast to turnover ratio.
