Should the Celtics take a flyer on Markelle Fultz?

It's been a few years since we kicked the tires on Markelle Fultz playing in Boston, and seven since he was drafted #1 overall. Fultz entered the draft in 2017 following one year at Washington and was the presumptive pick to go first in the NBA draft.

This was the era of point guards like Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Steph Curry, and Derrick Rose winning MVP's, and Fultz seemed like a can't miss prospect with his silky smooth jumper and game. Well we all know what happened. Danny Ainge traded down to #3 and snagged Jayson Tatum, while Fultz struggled mightily through two injury plagued seasons in Philadelphia.
