At this point, it appears that Fultz and Jackson are the franchise players in this draft. Smith may be as well. Always remember, success in this league is driven by franchise players. Don't pass up those guys to get an extra better than average guy. How many times in the last 30 years have teams won with only above average? Detroit Pistons is the only one that comes to my mind.
As for Hartenstein, he really looks like an international and younger version of Barnes. I would love to have the guy but he's playing the same position and style. I don't see that working long term.
