    that comment wasn't supposed to be in there as I'm totally tempting fate but it is what it is..I still take him #1.

    Ball for me is about as bust free as it comes - fultz includedif he can't shoot, defend or run fast it doesn't matter as he's one of the great college passers. Kind of the same thing I guess - more population to choose from (I just made up what I said above..)

    You can be 5'3" to 7ft tall so your population size is larger ... it doesn't discriminate against height in other words.

    Does he make those around him better should be THE base question for a PG: KJ - yes J Kidd - yes Steve Nash - yes Goran Dragic - leaning yes (but not in the same league) Marbury - no Bledsoe - no Fultz - the evidence suggests no, or at least it's marginal (I thought I read the Huskies performed...

    I suppose I should add (seeing as i haven't said enough about Ball, lol) that if you worry he's gonna be a problem in the half court, Booker is a pretty solid partner: From .net (click on the image and then click on the smaller embedded images once in):

    I just took the team stats and then subtracted Ball and Fultz from them .... so they wouldn't show what the team shooting % is when they're not on the floor just what it is overall (with Ball / Fultz + without Ball / Fultz), although seeing as both played 35 minutes it it would be hard to...

    Not sure about 'top 40' if he's alongside Kyle O'Quinn, Nerlens Noel and Kenneth Faried.. Everyone knows PG is the easiest position to replace and a PG averaging 20 and 6 that history seems to show does nothing for generating wins is surely nothing to get too excited about, not least because...

    Markelle Fultz

    I don't know, it's why I asked the question. After his rookie season, what happens, we can offer him the most money? I was thinking that if that's 'all' we can do and his marketing potential is so much larger in a place like LA then it's not much of a safe guard. Again, just thoughts and...

    *This is surely insane..6'1" PG's averaging 20 and 6 are a dime a dozen, nothing about Ball suggests he's average.

    I'm gonna go Slinslin on you and say this is insane.

    Question about Ball - if we draft him, you think it likely he forces a trade back to LA after his rookie season? If so, does that count against drafting him? I could see a lot of professional reasons for it being better for him to stay away from LA, from friends and distractions etc, and...

    Markelle Fultz

    1. How though, by leaving him wide open at the 3pt line so he thinks he can drive into mid range space? Keep in mind he's a 6'6" PG so saying he'll be smothered by opposing PG's when shooting 3's, or being forced off a 3 because of defence doesn't make sense because he's so much taller than...

    I hadn't thought of UCLAs FG% being helped by Ball but that's a good point. And I'm not not drafting either Ball or Fultz because of their FT% !

    Unfortunately not - it's a crude rip from team statistics.

    Diaw and Raja were good no doubt - and a decent trade for us - but I agree with Itl.

    I suspect the NBA has always been about outscoring the other team, it probably applies to other sports as well. A team of five players playing together e.g. Houston, should beat a team of five players with one or two all-stars e.g. OKC. Fultz is more like Westbrook, Ball (from a facilitating...

    Style is irrelevant, and whether it's essential Ball has to shoot off the dribble could be open to debate...What's wrong with shooting 3's and layups? It seems to fit perfectly the direction of the NBA, that is higher efficiency shots.

    Their individual shooting stats are worth looking at: Ball 2pt% = .731% (109 / 149) Ball 3pt% = .412% (80 / 194) Ball FG% = .551% (189 / 343) Ball TS% = .683% Fultz 2pt% = .502 ( 157 / 313) Fultz 3pt% = .413% (52 / 126) Fultz FG% = .476% (209 / 439) Fultz TS% = .558% - Ball 2pt% is...

    Roger that on the assists - the difference in team FG% b/w Washington and UCLA is remarkable: UCLA FG % with Ball = .522% (1210 / 2320) UCLA FG% without Ball = .516% (1021 / 1977) Ball FG% = .551% (189 / 343) Washington FG% with Fultz = .448% (874 / 1950) Washington FG% without Fultz = .440%...

    Maybe but if we'd locked him in to $36m / 4yrs at the start of the season which is what I though he was after (feel free to correct my memory) rather than say to him - prove how good you are, he may have stuck around. Suns: JJ, here's the deal you want, sign it and let's win some titles. After...

    There's only one caveat in trading Bender - the Joe Johnson rule. A bit like the Brandon Knight rule where trading future picks leaves us all annoyingly hanging on for years to weigh up the merit of the trade, which is obviously not recommended, I'd be nervous about trading Bender having broken...

    ha the knicks would have to lose their mind, Porzingis should be untouchable. Really I just don't think I think I'm comfortable with Bledsoe so I like your idea better if we can draft Ball or Fultz.
