I still think LB might turn out OK although 2nd overall is looking like a big overreach. How does a PG in the NBAnonly shoot 54% from the foul line? Thats a head scratcher, for sure. You may be totally correct about him. He's improved but still a ways to go to justify #2 overall. But, he's lightbyears ahead of Fultz. My goodness, that guy's got some serious problems and probably will never be much more than a garbage time player, if that.I respectfully disagree about Lonzo Ball.
He was the second overall pick and didn't even make All-Rookie First Team. So far, in an average of about 53 games per season over almost four seasons, he's put up:
USG 18.2%
11.5 points per game, 39.7 FG%/35.1 3P%/54.7 FT%
6.4 assists per game, 5.8 rebounds per game (4.7 defensive, 1.1 offensive), 2.5 turnovers
1.5 steals per game, 0.6 blocks, 1.9 fouls
OB+- -0.1
DB+- 0.9
9.0 WS
13.2 PER
His defense is OK, but his offense other than his passing is pretty bad overall. He's been improving this season, but not a whole lot, and I don't see him making any significant leaps forward at this point. I could be totally wrong, though. A better center than Adams could possibly help.
Even before he played, that was obviously one of the worst #1 selections in quite some time.
Idiots traded up from 3, giving up an unprotected first to their division rival. Could have stayed and still got him...or better yet would have taken Fox or Bam. Sixers were forced Hinkie out due to pressure from the league about tanking and hired Colangelo's inept son who made that trade.
