I really enjoyed this victory because Fultz got the start and played great. He’s still only 22 and has an unlimited ceiling. And Vooch balled out with Fultz, which is promising. Then I loved seeing Ennis and Clark play their roles perfectly, which is a credit to them, WeltHam and Cliff. Meanwhile, I don’t see how Fournier fits this team long term. He’s not long or athletic for defensive purposes, which seems to be the WeltHam calling card, and his offensive game is limited. As long as we have Fultz’s ball handling and penetration skills, Fournier’s value is not that high. I think he’s a very interesting trade piece. Edit: Cue Afernee saying Fournier has no trade value :)

Https://www.bourbonstreetshots.com/2020/07/28/what-is-the-best-way-to-draft/ Interesting article based on studying the value of 1st round picks Vs vet min contracts. Key things I took away from this are: Almost 70% of all 1st round picks dont end their rookie contracts on the team that drafted them. On average after 3 years 70% of the regular season minutes of a team changes. Most rookies, particularly those drafted outside the top 10, don't offer better production than a vet minimum contract. Conclusion: Never draft for need. Team needs change all the time and you can always get veterans to fill immediate needs. Plus by the time the guy's developed enough to contribute you might have an entirely different roster and the need might not be so pressing. Always try and draft the player you think has the best chance to be a star. That's especially true when you don't already have star players.
