In case you missed Fultz last game:

If you don't have 5 minutes, just go to 4:02. But in general you can see his game and how easy the offensive side will translate at the next level. He is as smooth and under control as anyone I have ever seen at 19 years old.

I'm just being picky since we're talking about the number 1 pick, but he still doesn't look fully comfortable dribbling with the left hand. He looks better than earlier in the season, but it is a concern if he is going to play full time PG in the NBA.

Otherwise, he has few holes in his game. Seems to excel at all things versus being good at just one thing.

I still have my preferred pg list as Fultz > Smith > Ball. But I will say that Ball is much closer to Smith now for me. In fact, if we didn't have RC to run the flow offense and call plays from the sides then I'd probably take Ball over Smith. I just think in our offense Smith might be a better fit than Ball. Fultz to me is starting to separate himself as a possible consensus #1 though. He just looks so comfortable at everything and I really think his skillset fits our personnel(Wes and Barnes) better than any of the others in this draft. Maybe Jackson is still heavily in the mix and maybe Giles will explode onto the scene but as of now I think Fultz has at least gone from "a possible #1" to maybe the "perceived favorite".

Good stuff. Having a player like this would keep me watching mavs far after Dirk has retired. (Feels like a pipe dream no way the mavs out otter the 76ers)

Having the worst record doesn't mean we get the #1 pick, so we just need Cuban to bribe whoever created the draft order. Yes, I still believe the lottery is rigged.

The top 8 should be solid picks so there is a chance Cuban will be able to trade for the guy he wants. Unless Fultz is immensely above the rest (which is quite possible) we could hopefully trade for him if he is our guy.

Quite honestly I'd say we'll get a good player no matter what. In fact I saw a mock draft that had us taking Ball #1.

I don't think we can go wrong with Fultz, Ball, Smith, Jackson, Giles, Isaac, Tatum, or Monk.

Play at 1:12 in the PnR was smooth decision making. What separates him for me is the smoothness in which he plays, and the fact he is showing well with the PnR and shooting. He's going to be good.
