Who would you take #1 overall? I'd go with Fultz

Fultz but both are probably better prospects than any one from these past three drafts minus KAT

I really like Fultz, but Lonzo is right up there. I don't think you'll lose taking either one

Either way you're looking good with either

Can't tell if serious or trying to argue with dumb LSU fans

I think so and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he can hit 3s with that size at his position. I worry about his defense but he has such a high basketball IQ that I think he can get there with his size...for ball

For fultz he is just such an elite scorer who also shows real ability to control the game. He's just on a garbage team

Ball is a larger Steph curry. He isn't even close to physically developing fully


Fultz imho is a tad overrated. His a good shooter and good in pick and roll but I doubt he gets much better than he already is. Chauncey billips is my guess. I like fox much more than fultz

There is this Simmons kid in Philly, but we don't really know what he's about yet.

Let's just concede they're better than Simmons. Are you really saying they're better prospects than Embiid or Porzingis? Maybe you mean pre-draft, but these guys aren't even close to Embiid or Porzingis in terms of potential based on what we've seen.

Both are great players, but I'd take Lonzo Ball, for the intangibles. The kid is a leader and a winner. He makes the other players around him better and he won't let his team quit.

I'm talking about what these kids are heading into the draft and I would disagree about the potential. Especially for lonzo

And when I said 3 drafts I kind of didn't clarify well. I meant this one and the last 2. I would have taken embiid over these two even with the injuries. I was all aboard his pain train and thought he should have gone #1 regardless

Why should we hold ourselves to previously wrong information though?

Personally I don't think either Ball or Fultz are that special, but we will see.

Ok my point still stands for Porzingis.

I'll take Lonzo Ball now then pair him up with Gelo and Melo later on.

NBA hasn't seen cherry picking on this scale yet.

Fultz, but don't tell Lonzo Balls dad that I told you that.

This is a really good draft class this year.

because we have the benefit of hindsight for someone like kristaps and we don't have that for either ball or fultz
