Hi everyone :). As all of you know, I'm a little slow, but at the same time, I'm apparently not alone in not being all aboard the Fultz train, so to speak, and as such I'm curious to know what, well, sold you on the guy.  So go ahead - convince me (as well as the rest of the doubters).  Is there a particular performance and/or highlight video that I should watch, etc?  Feel free to post them here, if you want.  Thanks :).

What or who are YOU sold on...???
Always here starting threads bashing our players.
If you don't like Celtics players go cheer for players you like...
Fultz will be a Celtics (don't mess up Dany!) And will be a very good Celtics player (that I'm sure you will find ways to bash as usual...)

No player is perfect! We roll with ours...

1) Can stop on a dime while dribbling and jump backwards while maintaining perfect shooting form. This lets him clear up his shooting arm consistently. Great shooting range.

2) Seems to explode when he gets to the rim. Great finisher.

Worries? Sure.

1) Not super quick.

2) Mediocre free throw shooter.

Nice summary, especially for those of us who have not done all the research.   ;)

I'm not super concerned about quickness, and FT shooting can improve.

The OP didn't say he doesn't like Fultz, he's just looking for opinions from those who have done the research, which is why I'm here too.  Chill out dude.

I have concerns about his attitude, intangibles and willingness to play defense.  Physically, I think he is fine.

Lack of quality alternatives.  (no challengers for that #1 spot)

Big drop off from #1 to the rest of those guys.

I do think there is good parity between #2 and #7-8 though. Good quality & depth in that area of the draft. But I think the top of the draft is light on talent. Outside of Fultz, is pretty bare.

* Shooting

* Elite size for position (6'4 with same wingspan as Josh Jackson) for position

* Advanced P&R game for his age

* Handle/Crafty moves and ability to get his own shot

Just a few off the top of my head.

Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

I don't see the whole debate that he isnt fast. He just plays like CP3 (at 6'4) he isnt trying to blow by guys all the time he looks to get lanes to develop first to pass and then score. The guy is beast. If you want to see his speed and explosiveness in action take a look at his blocks. You see lots of speed, timing, and length. I think his athleticism is compareable to our very own Brown. Now if you think Brown is slow then I would say Fultz is slow.

I would include the chase down blocks.
