The percentages were really interesting to me, especially for #2 picks. And yes, if this draft is similar to the 1996 draft then having two top ten picks (especially if not reaching for bigs) seems like a great asset.
That said, I would trade #5 and #10 for #1 in a heartbeat. I could be wrong, but Fultz just jumps out to me as a stud. And I absolutely love his attitude.
Ball could be a transformational talent but I have more concerns about him. I think at minimum Fultz is a very good player. I don't know who else has that floor.
With Fox it's his shot. With Tatum it's his lack of explosiveness and whether his game translates. With Isaac it's his asthma, small hands and his lack of position and fluidity. With Smith it's his effort. And so on.
With Fultz the only real question is if he's just good or really great. I'd gamble on him over two longer odds shots at getting two great players.

If you like Fultz I'm wondering if you like dsj too? I think they compare pretty favorably as prospects with similar upsides. Difference is we can get dsj at #5.
