2700379, He's going to go down as the strangest #1 pick of all time

Anthony Bennett was weird, too, but that also seemed like a choice that nobody else but the Cavs would have even made. Olowokandi was another one, but the Clips aren't the only team over the years that's been blinded by the height of an otherwise marginal prospect. Fultz was not at all a controversial choice at #1. Didn't have a ton of success at the college level, but neither did Simmons or Kyrie. Then he got hurt, then he seemed to forget how to shoot and he might not even get a second contract (which even Bennett was able to get!)

I'm really hoping this isn't the case, but heading into what should be his third NBA season and all we've got to go on is "body-fat looks good" is not promising.
