No. 1 Boston Celtics (Via Nets): PG Markelle Fultz
School: Washington
Position: Point Guard
Size: 6'4"/195 pounds
Class: Freshman
Outlook: Fultz had a less than ideal end to the season. He missed Washington's final four games including a re-match against Lonzo Ball who many believe he is fighting for the top pick. The Huskies finished just 9-22 and questions surround Fultz ability to make a difference in the win column. Dick Vitale told Heavy he has not been able to see many of Fultz's games but noted Fultz will need to prove he is a winner. “He has nice highlights but there are concerns about his ability to win. It could be a situation like Ben Simmons last season," Vitale said. Simmons had questions coming out of LSU since the Tigers failed to make the NCAA tournament. Fultz had less of a supporting cast than Ball has so in some ways it is hard to compare the two players. The challenge is it is the job of an NBA front office to compare the two players and try to project what Fultz can do with better surroundings. Fultz has plenty of talent and scoring ability that will help him fall no lower than the second pick. Heavy has Fultz slightly ahead of Ball but this could change with a strong March from Ball.
