This Markelle Fultz hype is solely a creation of analytics

Just read this garbage: Danny Ainge Explains The Main Difference Between Markelle Fultz & A Former Celtics First-Round Pick

Danny Ainge has got to be the dumbest GM in the NBA. Remember 3-4 years ago when Kevin Love was the hottest name in the NBA? He was averaging 26ppg and 12rpg. He shooting a lot of 3s. The analytics community was in love with him calling him a top 5 player in the NBA and hands down the best PF in the game. Teams were falling over themselves to try and get him.

Compare that to what I was saying 3-4 years ago. I was the loudest voice on here saying Kevin Love was a SCRUB. I didn't just say he was overrated. I didn't just say he wasn't as good as his numbers. I said he was NOT a top 5 PF. I said he was an absolute and total scrub and that if he went to Cleveland he would get exposed as that scrub. And just as I predicted, for 2 consecutive finals Kevin Love was exposed as a scrub.

I'm here to say the same thing about this Markelle Fultz. He will be a BUST. I said he's an Eric Gordon level player. Maybe he gets lucky and makes an all-star once or twice in his career because of empty stats. But he will never be a superstar. He'll never be a difference maker. He'll never lead a team anywhere. He couldn't even lead a college team to more than 9 wins so why would anyone expect him to lead a team anywhere in the NBA?

Yeah mane I just seen the video. You're right. He is a scrub. Dude can't score. Can't block shots. Can't pass the ball. Undersized PG. Really short arms. Terrible Wingspan. Not a good rebounder. Dude had 3 5 star recruits on his team and couldn't even get these dudes to win double digit games. Dude had so much NBA talent around him and shrank each game. Each game he brought down his 5 star recruits. SMH. Fraud ass nikka.

I don't even get how this dude is going to go #1. Scrub. Will be overseas in China like Anthony Bennett in 3 years tops!

Athletically and skill-wise, I still stand by it. Just look at how good he is at age 21-22:



In terms of skills and athleticism he's at the same level Kobe was at in 1999-00.

His heart just pumps mango juice. He has zero killer instinct. He has zero alpha male qualities. He's a beta male who is happy being a sidekick when his skills and potential say he should be the man.

I'm hoping he one day develops that Kobe/MJ killer instinct and actually lives up to his potential. But I stand by assessment of his SKILLS and POTENTIAL.

I know you're trying to be facetious. So let me tell the truth about this kid. He's a DECENT prospect. He has DECENT size. DECENT athleticism. DECENT skills. In the right situation he might even be successful ala CJ McCollum in Portland. But he's not special. He's not elite. He's not a franchise player. He's not a star player. He's not a #1 overall pick.

Markelle Fultz's ceiling is CJ McCollum. He's more likely an Eric Gordon level player. He's okay. If he was projected to go 5th in this draft, I would say he's a decent pick. But right now he's getting madly overrated because of analytics. Lonzo Ball and Jayson Tatum are far and away the best players in this draft. And honestly its not even close.

“I’d take him number one. His main weakness is defense, but he has some ability to play defense when there’s something at stake. He needs to be around a winning culture to get the best out of him. The most complete player in the draft. I don’t like that he cruises sometimes. He’s almost like Daryl Strawberry. Is he loafing or is he just that smooth? I don’t know that winning has ever been important to him. I’ve talked to friends who recruited him, and they said even when they watched him in open gyms or playing AAU, his team hardly ever won. That scares the crap out of me.”

Cj, according to analytics is the best jump shooter in the NBA. Top 3-4 SG is a great ceiling.

Kevin Love still isn't a scrub though, he just didn't take to the Chris Bosh transformation as well as............ Chris Bosh. It's not a coincidence that those players games after teaming up with LeBron look nothing like how they were before joining with him.
