If free throw % and defense as a freshman in college are how we rate prospects, half the good players in the league would get tossed. Fultz may not make it, but he is a lot better at many important things (3P %, eFG, Off rating, A/TO) as a freshman in college than many current great players were. I think we need to give him some time to see. Just because the Boston mafia is out to discredit him after Ainge passed doesn't mean he will stink.

Did you see his FT motion? How about his defense? Neither of those areas is AAU quality right now.
