 Jordan's the greatest ever. This is more of a wow, they are actually really close in size. That 6'4" listed height is looking more real by the day.

 Ainge and Fultz look to be the same height. Here is Jordan and Ainge getting into an altercation.

 So Jordan was about 6'5" Fultz 6'4"
 Fultz probably has a slight advantage in wingspan at 6'10". Fultz has big hands, Jordan has monster hands.

 Also Jordan was listed at 195 pounds his rookie year, Fultz is listed at 195 pounds as well.

 Just want to point out how awesome his body is for basketball. He's D Wade, Kobe, and Jordan's size with PG skills.

 In case you didn't see it here is Jordan's iconic free throw dunk and Fultzs as well. Mjs is better, but Fultz leaves from the same distance.

TP. My absolute ceiling for Fultz is a mini Jordan with better passing (also switch out post play with 3 point shooting). Before guys kill me that has virtually no chance of happening.

Jordan was a winner at almost every level, I am not sure about high school.  Other than they are close in height and weight, what are you getting at?

Fultz had a  losing record in college.  Jordan won a championship and in fact, hit a game winner.

How about a better shooting D Wade?

No kidding.  Jordan's college championship team had James Worthy and Sam Perkins and was coached by Dean Smith.

Yeah I think that's what most likely he'll turn out to be, with some better passing and defense. I think guys would be very happy getting a guy with prime averages like 30 PPG, 5 RPG, 8 APG, 1 BPG and 2 SPG (I think Fultz would get that in his best year)

I'm starting to feel good about myself then. Because I'm a little over 6'4" and 195 pounds too. Unfortunately I don't I don't have huge hands. Not small little Trump hands but not MJ hands.

I live close to where MJ stays in Charlotte too so I'm going to go tell him I'm just as good as him now.

Fresno State while Paul George was there went 13-21 in 2008-2009 and 15-18 in 2009-2010. I guess there must be more to it than just a simple statement on win-loss college records.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I don't believe it. There's a life size wax statute of him at Madame Toussards. No taller than me and I'm 6'4". Wish I had his game LOL

Did Jordan win the championship as a freshman? Was he one and done? Just dont think you can compare their college careers.

True but did Fultz have James Worthy and Sam Perkins on his team?

I like the D Wade comp. Good pump fake game, dribble pull up game, the lenght (wingspan), passing ability. If he ever repeats Wades defensive instincts (ability to earn/get nobodys ball) I would go as far and say he would be 7+ time Allstar. However Dwyane is IMO the best shotblocking guard of all time. Their leggero playstyle is also a thing that compares well.
MJ was much more explosive and had those gigantic fist. To repeat him, his game a prospect would have to posses those first. That is one of the reasons why I think Kawhi is the most similar player to Mike.

how many of these cases exist?
