The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Markelle Fultz is not a great athlete. He's mediocre at best.

I been saying this Markelle Fultz hype made no sense. Good to see the Celtics making the right choice and letting Philly make the stupid decision of drafting him 1st overall.

The idea Markelle Fultz was explosive was always laughable to me. Dude is Eric Gordon 2.0 as an athlete.

Lonzo Ball is significantly more explosive.

This would explain the Lakers over weight comments about ball or outta shape comments. All distraction.

I don't see Tatum as being the best nor Ball I think the first 5 are interchangeable and all need work

Apparently Isaac's workout with the suns was phenomenal.

True.
I Like Isaac doe.

 

[Adebisi_Said]

Or maybe he sabotaged the workout.

 

[Frump]

True.
I Like Isaac doe.

Me too..I agree with the gm's premise though that some teams put too much stock in these workouts

Ok but that doesn't explain you comparing him to EG like EG isn't a great athlete. And then comparing him to Lonzo and saying Lonzo is better like Lonzo is some world's better athlete or like he's better than EG. DSJ is the most explosive guard in the draft anyway.

Eric Gordon when he was coming out had a 40 inch vertical and was being talked about like he was a great athlete. I said no because I just watched him play and didn't care about testing at the combine.

Fultz is similarly a mediocre athlete than some have tried to tout as explosive.

His athletic profile is similar to Eric Gordon imo.

Fultz sorta chunky.
Most guys need gain weight.
He needs to lighten up.

Show me Lonzo doing something EG can't do

Eric Gordon was a freak athlete before the injury.

 

[Regular_P]

I never thought Fultz was some great athlete when I watched him at Washington. Ball seemed more explosive to me.

 

[Houston911]

They're calling fultz a generational talent



I like his game and he's nice as hell, but I don't see it

 

[Emoryal]

DSJ the best point in the draft to me
