Is winning the #1 pick (Markelle Fultz) the best thing since 2008?

1. Pierce/KG trade to Nets
2. Signing Brad Stevens (which came out of no where)
3. Isaiah Thomas trade
4. Getting #1 pick

It still amazes me how most people on this site practically want to already make a bust for Fultz in the basketball hall of fame. Don't get me wrong, I want the Celtics to pick him, but I do have some concerns. I don't know how everyone can simply dismiss that 9-22 record at Washington. From some of the games that I was able to watch recently (no highlight reels), he seemed more concerned about himself, than making the team and everyone around him better. He didn't seem to know how to control the pace of the game and when he needed to be more assertive. My other concern is his lack of separation on his jumper. He has a beautiful (high) release, but college players who will never play any further, are close to blocking his shot on most attempts. I understand that these are both nitpicks, but I'm still very excited about drafting him.

Jeff Goodman was on Dale and Holley yesterday and one of the questions they asked was if the last 4 #1 points guards drafted were in this draft, how would he rank them. Without hesitation he had Fultz at 4. He ranked them as follows: Derrick Rose #1, Kyrie Irving #2, John Wall #3, and Fultz #4. He did say Fultz is the clear #1 in this draft.
