So you're telling me that because everyone knew the Celties were taking him third the 76ers could not take him first?
This is some of the biggest copium of all time.
Celtics had the #1 pick to begin with bro...
They only traded with the Sixers because it was made clear they wanted Fultz and the Lakers were set on Lonzo. Celtics wanted Tatum and were willing to take him #1, but didn't make that clear. They worked Colangelo like a god damn fool trading back and still getting their guy. Maybe the Sixers were worried about the Lakers taking Fultz #2 idk.
Sixers wanted Fultz from the jump. They needed a shot creating guard and Fultz checked all the boxes as a great shooter, good size, good defensive tools, handles, etc. Too bad he didn't pan out to be much of any of that in Philly and somehow forgot how to shoot 😣
