he played 4 his rookie year.
Indeed, he did play some of his minutes next to Ian when he was a rookie.

He’s not consistently healthy, a terrible defender, a poor rebounder, a ball stopper offensively, and has only shown 3 pt shooting for a very short time in his career, while showing he was a terrible long range shooter for a long time before that.
I’m hoping for the best, but I’m definitely not willing to pencil him in as a starter at EITHER of SF or PF. I think he’s competing with Doug for the backup SF minutes until he proves otherwise.

Also, when Nassir Little fell as far as he did, I was kind of hoping the team would trade up into the 20s to pick him

As for his shooting, you are indeed correct. Phoenix fans are claiming that he worked really hard in the off-season and put up 700 3s a day over the summer for a total of 42k total attepts in the off-season -> https://hoopshype.com/2018/12/28/phoenix-suns-tj-warren-most-improved-player-candidate/
If this is indeed true then it speaks to his work ethic and also indicates that it wasn't a result of a hot season. It was a result of hard work that led to improvement.
In general, most Suns fans are hating this trade and they have nothing but good things to say about TJ Warren. At this point, I'll have to trust them on him.

Yeah I've been on the side of TJ is a neutral contract at best for awhile now (and he's clearly slightly negative as evidenced by us getting the 32 for him) and am still meh on the trade, but he does have good work ethic it seems. And maybe this will give him another chip on his shoulder.
Also should note that David West was his mentor dating back to college. I know West and the front office weren't on great terms when he left, but maybe they made a call to him.
As you said too, we can make his defense or lack thereof work without much issue as long as he's willing to work. I mean realistically we didn't get burned too too bad with Tyreke on defense and he's a terrible defender who may have been using hard drugs during the season.

over Turner or Sabonis? i sure don't see that. I suppose if we move Turner to 4 and Goga outplays Sabonis at 5 it is theoretically possible but I sure don't see it.
In fact, in writing a message on a Google Group this morning, it occurred to me that if we go outside the box and create some sort of double-post alignment for Turner and Sabonis, the same creative plan would work for Leaf and Goga on the second unit.

He is more like Žižić from Cavs...
Topofthekey wrote:Hmm, if Pacers didn't trade Levert, and if they drafted John Collins instead of Leaf, they could field a pretty decent starting 5 just with their rookies from the past 5 seasons
C: Goga
PF: Myles
SF: Collins
SG: Levert
PG: Holiday
Collins isn't an SF, Holiday might not be starting PG material, but aside from that, it might not be the worst starting 5 in the league
