2021 Draft

It’s just crazy that ESPN is probably paying Perkins hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for this type of coverage.

Not just this, he’s been a complete wreck the whole night.

I’ll be mad if Cooper is available at 29.

I know we likely won't do it, but Garuba would be a great value right now.

Also, Petrusev, Butler, Herbert Jones depending on how far they fall.

Also now would be the time to proactively go for a 2nd rounder now that prospects are falling.

I think since we traded our pick and Carter there is a very good chance they plan on signing TyShon to a minimum deal this summer for a roster spot. That's 2 2nd year guys in him and Smith...then we can pick up UDFAs or one of them and a G league guy for a 2 way.

My early impression is that Houston had the best draft.

are you all still watching this? after the 10th pick i tuned out and followed on twitter. There's no point anymore in watching it when it's all spoiled in twitter.

I can't believe how many of the PGs or just Gs on people's lists for the Suns are still on the board at 25. Seems like all of them except Mann.

Its because this was a garbage draft for PG's.

Cooper would have been a fun project

Yeah I’m not feeling so hot about the Shamet trade right now.

Mitchell was fantastic last year but Butler has been Baylor's best player over the past 2 seasons. He should've gone already imo. Can create his own shot and works on or off ball, but Hyland's measurables were way better than expected at the combine and he went 1 on 3 a ton on that team and still scored efficiently and his shot is good meaning he can play off the ball, so I somewhat understand it. Hyland was simply way bigger than people thought. Combine helped him a ton.

Phoenix should hope Petrusev falls out of the draft. He was Gonzaga's best player for the month he was there. Could be our answer to both backup big spots.

Strange to see some solid guards dropping, obviously teams don't feel the same way though lol

Price for a 2nd rounder is 2 million. You think Sarver pays that?

This would’ve been a good draft to have multiple second rd picks in.

I think it's in part because the league is flush with point guards these days and cheap switchable wings are a premium.

Many teams have 2-3 point guards...even expensive backups or 2-3 developing guys now like the Magic with Fultz, Cole and Suggs and OKC with SGA, Maledon and Giddey...and I guess Ty Jerome.

But you look across the league and a lot of team have 2 solid PGs and usually a 3rd prospect or decent one.
