Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics just need more talent if they are to make it past LeBron James and the Cavs, and Fultz is the surest thing on the draft board. Sure, point guard is a spot that Boston is already deep at, but Marcus Smart is a versatile player that can play shooting guard and small forward, too.

Fultz would immediately be the backup point guard in Boston and, more importantly, be able to defend in crunch situations where Isaiah Thomas’ height is a problem.
