Let's not get carried away, the top 2 are the top 2 for a reason.

Last year we were fapping over Frank Kaminsky for 6 months as the saviour who was mocked as 8-15 type player.

You were fapping over him? Not me.

How long will it take for the Phoenix Suns to be championship contenders again?

Put this on loop for say, 30 years?

Here is Ingram from Saturday's game. Super smooth and a dead eye shooter. Not going to lie, him and Booker could make a deadly scoring duo for quite a long time

Ingram's length is going to make him difficult for other wings to shoot over, I would definitely take him regardless of how tj improves.

Warren is my favourite Suns player but he definitely shouldn't prevent us from drafting Ingram.

Yeah, I agree. In today's NBA is really important to have players that can play multiple positions and create mismatches. Ingram has a 7'3 wingspan and if he adds strength to his body he probaly can defend three positions.

A team starting Bledsoe, Booker, Warren, Ingram and Len can be really difficult to defend and defensively they can switch a lot of times.

Booker and Warren need to improve defensively, but they are hardworkers so I am not concerned about that.

If the Suns get Simmons or Ingram I will be ecstatic.

Like no other team in the league Suns need top pick this year. With our reputation hitting the bottom drafting Simmons could make Suns a bit more attractive for free agents/coach to sign with us.

But if we are not in top 3 I hope at least those top prospects goes east. I would hate to reward Philly for their tank job but Minny or NO getting another top tier talent would be depressing for Suns.

My guess is 4 years. But I think if we continue to draft well we can maybe sneak into the playoffs 2 years from now, which would be mighty impressive given the age of the team at that point (assuming we don't keep Tyson, Kieff, Tucker).

IIf we end up at 4, I'd be fine with Dunn. Thing is, Philly is the team that needs a PG most of the top 4 and needs a big man the least, despite some of our fan's feelings about Bledsoe. So, we could end up with a guy like Bender even at 4. We just have to hope he stays in the draft.

Low tier college game's are rough to watch. There's been a lot of bad passing and shooting this game

Dunn with 16/8/7/7 in a loss tonight

Wow, that's impressive...as for your other point about college games being tough to watch, yeah, it's tough for me to get engaged in any game that isn't a Cats game or tourney game.

Outside of Bentil, the rest of his teammates shot 6/35.
This is apparently Dunn's second game of at least 15/7/7/7 this year.

If archie keeps up his current play taking Dunn may be a bit much. I'd still take Dunn depending on where we pick and who is available.

Man, looking at Dunn's progression from year to year, and seeing multi year guards like Curry and Lillard and even McCollumn do so well, he looks super impressive. I mean, his 3 pt % impressive from last year to this year is good, and those assists and steal numbers are phenomenal for college.

I'd be super happy with Bledsoe being backed up by Dunn. But I guess I'd only probably take him at 3 or probably 4.

Simmons living at the line as usual

Who would you prefer to take with the Washington pick?
