When is the earliest Booker can sign his Max?

Wow, Dunn with 20 pts on 9/17, 12 assists and 4 steals. The fact that he is doing so well suddenly after looking awful all of last year gives me extended hope for Jackson.

At least we’re trying to match the intensity of the other team. Refs keeping it consistent as well, for once.

I also don’t understand how Len cannot just go up strong / stop putting the ball on floor but go up on the first try.

Len is one of the best bench center in the league, but fans of one of the worst league teams continue to hate him. This is so funny

What in the world are you watching the last few years? Sure he has a few good games but his hands even when he’s hit high is asking for trouble on top of his soft attack to the rim.

I may be a little more objective as im not a Suns fan and... he sucks. I was just thinking (and i really dont want to troll, just an observation) betwen Len, Bender, Jackson.. holy moly there are alot of wasted lottery picks on this roster. And i mean really wasted.

Jackson's offense is horrifying.

Ok let me put that differently, he sucks for a #5 draft pick. Hes not a scrub, but hes a wasted #5 pick.

You do not need to live by the past - you need to live the present. This season, Len demonstrates a game that costs much more than the money that him receives. When he will go out at the start and get money comparable to all-star centers - then he needs to play comparable requirements. Now it looks very funny.

True, our drafting has been terrible when picking high in the lottery

I hope for his own sake, he succeeds. I just don’t see the consistency that would get him get paid like we saw a few years ago when teams were throwing around $.
I understand centers take time to develop but how much time do the Suns stay with him? It looks like we’ll let him go depending on our draft order.

Yeah, but that was a bad draft. Unless they were going to take Giannis or Gobert that high there wasn't much to want. Most of us wanted McLemore or Noel but neither are doing much.
For Bender it's early and no one taken after 3 in that draft is doing great. A guy like Sabonis is doing well and Dunn is finally looking decent. Hield has been ok but those guys all had more experience coming in. Bender has showed some decent skills this season so it's still very early to judge that pick imo.
Jackson has been very disappointing but obviously it's pretty early with him too.
