Despite being listed as a PG, the size and style of play by Markelle Fultz might make you think he’s a SG.

While the Celtics need forwards, Fultz is a talent that just can’t be passed up on. His best attribute might be that he can score with ease, but Fultz is also a proficient defender because of his long wingspan. There is good reason to believe Fultz will move to SG if he joins the Celtics.

Boston has an MVP candidate PG in Isaiah Thomas and two young PG’s who are improving daily (Smart, Rozier) If the Celtics do decide to keep Fultz at PG, there shouldn’t be many issues with the roster. Thomas can effective being the field general, as well as playing off the ball; which can give the young Fultz time to figure out — Markelle Fultz can make an instant impact and if the Celtics retain the No.1 pick, he’ll most likely become a Boston Celtic.
