NBA's Next #1 Pick: Markelle Fultz On Lonzo Ball, What Makes Him Tick | Sports Illustrated
/ sportsillustrated - Спорт
Does anybody else think Markelle would be better as a SG?!?! Because I do, his scoring ability is insane, and he can still make plays but scoring and creating lanes is his best attributes imo plus he has great defensive potential, he has the tools to be a great two way player and the mindset which is the most important thing
I Am the Answer that's how scary fultz can be he will dominate either position I think him being a pg would make him more all around tho
All the PG's are 6'3 on average, he's 6'4 right? John Wall is 6'4 too and way more athletic and fast, and Lonzo is 6'6 PG's are big so he's not gonna have a mismatch because of size, his fundamental skills will be his advantage, he'd be an awesome SG with his natural scoring ability.... But I feel you, he wants to play PG, but I understand, its the deepest position in the league and is gonna get deeper
nah he can run point just because he can score doesn't mean he can't run point. look at harden
I Am the Answer so is HARDEN but he plays point now
The thing with being a "two way player" is that essentially you can run the PG or SG position. So either way Fultz will be a hell of a player.
he sounds like James Harden
Will Candrick he does
Will Candrick fax
Future Legend
J Will the same legend who couldn't lead his team to 10 wins
The Dope Podcast that is true, but he was playing with under average talent, if he had T. J Leaf and the shooters that Lonzo had, not taking away from Lonzo who is a great talent, I think Washington would be a good team and would make the tournament
J Will also if the coach of Washington was competent.
Had marquese chriss and dejounte murray last year and was about the same team and they didn't make it.
Coach playing 1970s basketball.
nah I dont see it he seem not to have that heart and burning eyes like great players have... but hey hopefully God bless him and his family and his career
J Will
sounds a lot like what people said about McGrady and Leonard... we'll see how it works out
I think passion for the game is a lot stronger then lonzo's
Dankyman Tru I don't rlly see passion in Lonzo
Dankyman how do you not see passion you stupid
Dankyman how do you not we passion your stupid he wouldn't be the 1-2 pick if he didn't have passion
Beasley, Darko and Mayo went top 5 and they didn't have passion.
Joshua Lewis yes and he got that drive
The Mom is funny 😂
"Put myself further in front "
its not about the # of getting picked anymore...its all about performing great after getting drafted thats what counts. Kawhi Leonard 14th pick or Isiah Thomas 60th pick.
true, but there's a certain amount of honor that comes with being the number one pick. especially with a rival like Lonzo.
Mr Ed. the difference between #1 and 2 pick is like $10+million guaranteed so trust me youd way rather be 1 pick than like 15 pick
tyler michael Not if u have the hunger to be great,money doesnt matter. U'll get money later on
i would think that the list of allstars going top 10 in their draft is a lot longer than the one for players going outside top 10... i could be wrong tho
Like his passion and self-confidence.
He sound like kobe he said he wonna get lonzo ball out da way
Kendrick Kidd that's how it's supposed to be
He has the mamba mentality
seem like such a good kid in this vid. respectful, hungry success yet still has a sense of humor. hope he creates his own legacy in the league.
Fultz is a Harden type of player with better D. Can score at will from 3 and drive to the basket. I think hes gonna be more of a 2 that can facilitate much like Harden. He is a safer choice for the top pick instead of Ball as i cant see how he will be a bust with his skillset.
junjun 27 he's not only safer he has a higher ceiling
Corey Darko if lonzo can hit his shot at the same % with a faster pace it will be a much tougher decision at 1
He deserves everything he's going to get.humble kid doing things for the right reasons
his mum said "I need somethings to clean with" savage mum
The thing I like about fultz is how he is raised, just a kid who just plays the game more passionately, and his work ethic. Lonzo is just a kid who plays the game with his family looking for fame, and living such a high class life and trying to start their own brand. I have so much respect for fultz, he was cu from varsity, as for Lonzo who makes it easily just because he so popular. I mean fultz has a bright future in front of him, Lonzo ain;t getting nowhere!!! Passion over fame.
Humble yet confident. I like that. Well spoken. The yin to the yang of Lavar !! LOL!
markelle gonna be a beast go get him celtics
no dad
- George Karl
lmao
Being a lakers fan and seeing this video....... Fuck this kid is humble and looks like everything you want out of a player
Too bad he's going to your rival city
see I feel like I can relate to this guy more
Best of luck to Mark. Very down to earth dude
A humble guy💯
The think I like abt fultz is the has the hunger
Corey Darko illiterate much?
Solomon a ok
boy stop ditching English class
No dad. Big Baller has a dad
Kyrie Irving how was I wrong lol I jus shortened some words
I think the NBA is gonna push him to be more of a 2 guard than a 1. Specially if he ends up in Boston.
True enough
He'll still play 1. Isaiah is more of a 2 than a 1, but we never consider him a 1 because of his height. Same with Iverson
Marlon Ndoro yea most of the point guards nowadays are scorers anyway.. all the top PG are some offense juggernauts so he'll fit right in
That could happen unless we trade Isaiah or have IT walk in 2018. That could be the case with either fultz or ball if we draft one of them.
For some reason, I'm stuck on the idea that Boston will deal their #1 pick for PG13. Given the fact that Boston is ready to win now and PG's frustration with Indy after the trade deadline. Boston is not in dire need for a PG or SG, but Indy is. Just a thought.
i think i found one of my favorite new players
him and isiah Thomas would make a nasty combo. just sayin
King FelixJ add in gordon heyward. and its all over
How wrong you were 😂
Seems like a very humble guy
Lovely family man already, keep grounded and get that MVP mate
Kel's mom is savage. Roasting Lavar's brand. Hahaha
The future of the nba is bright
Lonzo and Fultz are gunna be rivals if they go to boston/la. Just what the nba needs
Love this guy man
I like this guy a lot. I hope he becomes a star in the league.
Ingram Ball vs Fultz and BrownLet the rivalry begin!
he probably was destroying junior varsity
Omg, sucks he's going to Boston :( This guy is a future legend, humble, hard working and us lakers, if we draft lonzo i'm going to cry
LONZO HAS A STRONG FATHER THIS GIVES HIM THE ADVANTAGE UNDER TOUGHER SITUATIONS LONZO WILL BE A CHAMPION
Really hoping the Celts land the No. 1 pick to take this kid. Seems very humble, works hard, and obviously very talented.
I have the same basketball hoop that Markelle is using at 4:18!
I hope they both become great players with their mentalities. we need a rivalry in the league not that friend shit.
Lonzo and Lavar are making Fultz's draft stock go up
woah big fella MVP next season aye but love the confidence
I would much rather buy the #f2g gear than the big baller gear
Complex News what is f2g?
Faithful to the Grind
Him and Lonzo could be a great rivalry.
As a Lakers fan, I'm feelin the hype of Lonzo being the hometown hero. With that being said, I feel as though Fultz is better. It's impossible to draft a bust tho so they couldn't possibly mess up the pick. They can almost draft anyone projected in the top 8. Even that pg Frank, I feel, will be successful. Talent wise though, I'd love if they drafted Smith Jr. or Monk. They're clearly cold af. Neither of them can be guarded. Very explosive, elite shooters and good defenders on top of that. Not that the Lakers would regret drafting Lonzo, because he'll be a superstar as well, but I'm absolutely positive knowing what they know now the Warriors would have drafted Kawhi Leonard instead the HOF Klay Thompson.
I could see both of them being stars
Have to say man, I like Fultz's personality (much) better. But on the court... I really like the way Lonzo plays his position.
that's deep
Anyone else slick tear up at the end? 😓
his mom is really cool
"I want to get him out the way." Fultz is the clear cut #1, hope to see him in LA.
🍀
humble
I don't think there's a Lebron in the draft but I think there's gonna end up being 3 or 4 player like melo and wade this year.
imo, its better to compare it to 2009 draft class that has Curry,Tyreke Evans, Blake Griffin, DeRozan, Jrue Holiday Harden etc generally alot of good players in the league today
Balling Like I'm Tobe Ben Simmons is comparable to bron
Good comparison I can see that
Balling Like I'm Tobe fultz is the lebron of the draft lol jk but wait till they play first ur jumping to conclusions too fast
Balling Like I'm Tobe no there's not lol not to be. Cocky but fulrz is going to be special you'll see and is there ever a lebron?? lol exactly
1:49 SAVAGE
Nothing can really go wrong for your team in this draft class
The contrast between him and the Ball family will make this rookie season even more interesting. On one side you have the most hyped player coming to the league since LBJ, about to wear purple and gold and play in the biggest basketball market. On the other you'll have this humble guy, raised by his mom without media tracing his every single step but equally talented. Interesting times!
Take this W bro
Can anyone help me? I'm looking for Lonzo Ball's scoring ability and defense
Tanner Gilmore lol. Lonzo can score he's just pass first almost to a fault. Defense he isn't a big liability.
watch his videos.....
Snap Snap he is a liability against quicker guards
Snap Snap no he can't lol he has no midrange game he's a good shooter tho
He's the real deal
We miss you man
he has dwyane wade, james harden potential.
Lonzo has Jason Kidd, penny hardaway potential
who would u rather have?
im so bummed he got a shoulder injury, he is a future MVP in my eyes
Welcome to Boston! BleedGreen
He definitely would look great in a green jersey.... Lets hope the Celtics do the right choice and picks him.
Sincerely,
Laker Fan.
Bruh his face when he said he'd buy up some hats for his fam. Dude should play poker.
Seems like a good dude. I like it.
his mom seems like she has an awesome personality
whats that beat in the intro
Now that the Celtics have the first pick, would they trade him? Or do you think they would play with a backcourt of him and IT
Game reminds me of James Harden. A talented scorer that has the ability to pass and create
🐐
no dad
Hero Hour ?
If he gets on the Suns with d book that would be fucking nice
Yeh Mon with Ulis from the bench. Suns needs to trade Bledsoe and Knight this summer if they get the 1st pick imo
Jake Mukalai exactly what I'm thinking. Suns could possibly trade up with Bledsoe and get a small forward as well
yeah but TJ Warren is lowkey good enough to be apart of Suns future so they should trade for a good PF like Blake Griffin.
Jake Mukalai well TJ played best with Ulis. He could be the sixth man off the bench
Jake Mukalai griffin is too injury prone though and may not be the best spacing wise
if only boston got a solid PF in the free agency that would be a bomb next year
Welcome to the Boston Celtics
HAHAHAHAHAH
You have your right to laugh, my friend. I won't deny you that :)
Fultz will be very nice!
Next Paul Pierce for sure
be a shame see this kid not go #1. But at the same time, I don't want to see Lonzo in L.A.
please L.A. pass on Lonzo. you deserve better.
Imagine in the future if him and lonzo ball were on the same team. that would be like the Rockets
i hope the Celtics get Fultz #1 and the Lakers get Ball #2 to reignite that legendary Celtics/Lakers rivalry.
he's not done growing. he will be a SG and play a lot of point.
I'm sorry I had to pause the video to comment Lol when he said, " I'm coming to be the MVP next year" I guess he won't mind going to the Timberwolves or 76ers
dlikescheese the 76ers can be a playoff team if they get fulrz
Let's not be delusional, they'll be better and maybe win more games but that's a young team and they'll still need to work on their learning curve and chemistry. I can see them being a playoff team in 2-3 seasons though.
dlikescheese they did win 28 games when embiid played only 31 games when embiid played they didn't look terrible. If they add fultz and the Lakers don't retain their pick(which is a 55 percent chance) and use that pick to draft monk I think they can make the playoffs assuming the east will be bad next year and their games translate. Ik there a young team but all this young talent that would be 4 ppl on one team that can potential be all stars(monk fultz Simmons embiid) and theee that can be superstars( Simmons fultz Simmons)
dlikescheese embiid*
You want me to put faith in Monk? He is more like a J.R smith type of player, hot-cold, pretty inconsistent, but he does have good athleticism. I guess we'll just have to wait and see but i'm not convinced, i think they can improve but with time. Drafting all this young talent and without proper veteran around and a good coaching system in play it doesn't mean squat in the long run. But i'm still waiting to see what the GM does with the team. I'm not completely sold yet, still looks like a rebuilding franchise...like i said 2-3 seasons
DEFENSE.
Matured kid !
He look like Damian Lillard lmao😂😭💀
Stephen Kennedy Jr. more compare him to harden
looks like damian lillard but his voice sounds like harden.
Good luck! Hope he goes #1!
DMV !!! Watch my man shit all over Lonzo Ball and I just hope pray that some how this kid comes to the Kings. I know it ain't gonna happen but I'm just saying I'm from Baltimore and live in Sacramento now and I'd be at every game. Bet that !!
🙏
HUMBLE DON'T STUMBLE
Whoever becomes a number 1 pick this year is a lucky one. They will instantly go to the Celtics instead of playing to a tanking team (except if the Celtics would trade their pick)
i honestly like fultz he's a nice and humble kid but i think lonzo is way Better
Fultz should model his offense game after Harden! and I hope he goes to Boston and stays there. I'd be pissed if Celtics trade Fultz
I like this guy. he's not a fancy cali boy
Celtics Lakers rivalry will be renewed 🙏🔥🔥🔥
if u wanna make a name for yourself join the Kings become a starter point guard take the Kings to the playoffs with in three years or be the first pick and most like be back up point guard for Isaiah Thomas remember that
His mama pissing me off trying to compete with LaVar Ball. "If you don't sit yo ass down somewhere in the backround!" I respect Markelle saying he was going to get a couple hats tho, He obviously isn't carrying any HATE on his heart, but he does seem very confident and competitive while realizing he will be linked to Lonzo for these upcoming years... Why did his mom turn into a snake when they brought up BBB??? LaVar or Lonzo haven't said anything bad about her son
Most humble #1-2 picks?
His mom is a savage lmao
Imagine he actually wins MVP next year lol, gonna be great in green
LETS GO SIXERS
great kid! please be a SIXER
So it begins Celtics and Lakers healthy respect and hate as it always should be. :)
Who is he going to?
