Love the comps. Personally, I'm a shorter and way less athletic Lou Amundson. I understand why I'm not listed in most mock drafts though, it's really my intangibles and off the court value that make me a great prospect.

I'm a 6'3 200lbs version of Darko Milicic minus frosted tips, plus basketball skill.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

As reported by CNN Turk, Furkan Korkmaz will have workouts with Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls, all teams that will select in the mid of the first-round. Korkmaz is currently projected as the 14th pick in the upcoming draft.

I'm like an an unathletic 5'11" Matt Maloney. With a beard.

So basically an unmotivated D-Will.

But I can make it rain from NBA 3 whilst wearing jorts and flip flops, as per my avatar ;)

This is looking like a future Suns lineup. All undersized guard only

What if we draft Buddy? That team could push for the playoffs if healthy all season and Booker was capable of playing the SF.

Bledsoe/Knight
Buddy/Booker
Booker/TJ
PJ/Telly/#13
Chandler/Len

:dontknow: Sarver might like that.

Kris Dunn will be on First Take discussing why he should be a top 3 pick.

I just can't bring myself to watch that show anymore. SAS is just a bag of hot air and Bayless has likely never laughed at a joke.

I like Around the Horn because they don't take themselves too seriously. I'd be interested in a summary of what Dunn has to say if anyone wants to fall on their sword for the board though.

Supposedly we'll be having Timothe Luwawu in this weekend at some point, not sure if it's individual or group though. I'd like a good look at his Mega Leks teammate Rade Zagorac too, he seems a bit under the radar and looked pretty good when I checked his tape out. Jamal Murray is supposed to be scheduled for a workout this weekend too.

Bender working out tomorrow with Eric Jacobsen, probably gonna have him bang with Bender like they did with Qi. I saw him the other day and he told me about Zhou Qi if anyone is interested, nothing too crazy though. I'll hit him up after his workout Saturday and see what's good with Bender too.

Nah man we really need a PF. If we took him we'd have to trade Knight and maybe TJ just so everyone gets the minutes they want.

Could someone ESPN insider post ford's draft tier article?

What'd he say about Zhou


Nothing too crazy, he said he was pretty good but not amazing or anything. Qi was beating him out in a lot of the individual shooting workouts, but once they started banging and going into a lot of 1-on-1 stuff, Eric was getting the better of him because he's a lot stronger than Qi is. Not really a lot of specifics on what they did, just said he was pretty skilled but couldn't match up with the physicality Eric was bringing. Not sure how he'd know this, but he said Qi was unhappy after the workout and fired his agent.

Oops. I paused the DVR, did some work around the house, came back and FF to Kris Dunn and accidentally hit the remote and changed the channel. Should have recorded it..... :crazy:


I have no idea what he said. If anyone knows please post. Thanks
