The box score in the hawks bulls game is wild.

Check out the 'coach mode and player modes' of the bucks Lakers game on ESPN 3. Interesting concept with real time stat overlays.

Edit- watched all the second spectrum feeds. This is cool technology. Not sure I'd want to watch all games like this and some is distracting but I'd love the option.

Check out the 3 pt shooting of the starters for the Bulls. http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401071601

That's a pretty exciting young lineup. And Carter isn't even in there...he could probably hit some too. We've talked about had we drafted Fox of Isaac a bit who would both be great fits due to need, but man, I'd be pretty happy to have Markkanen at 4 right now too.

Trae Young, the Steve Nash heir apparent and guy who wanted to be drafted to our team, is just absolutely killing it now.

All of a sudden the Suns young core doesn't look so great compared to the rest of the league. Could you with confidence say, our young core is better than the Kings, Bulls or Hawks? I doubt it. Luka alone is probably worth more than Booker and Ayton combined. To think we could have come away with at least 1 franchise changing player from the last 2 drafts, but we ended up with a SF who's a black hole on offense and C who's one of the worst defensive bigs I've seen since Jahil Okafor. It's damn shame. Served and McD should get a lifetime ban from the NBA for this level of incompetence.

I offer great sympathy to anyone who has the mental strength to tune in to Suns games on a regular basis. :noway:

Absolutely.
I can not even watch his highlights anymore. It is very painful.

How professional scouts didn't see this coming?
How many freshman have lead the NCAA in points and assists?

It's CRAZY that we are dying for a PG and we had the opportunity to grab Trae or Doncic in the last summer. ****.

I would easily trade rosters with Bulls and probably Hawks. Not sure about Kings.

I didnt talk about Trae because I didnt think there was anything to talk about. Thought he would bust.

Was laughing at his summer league games and his poor shoting % and shot selection.

Just never thought he would make it.

I questioned Doncic alot because I felt it was either Ayton or Doncic we would pick. Never had a thought for Young.

If that makes sense.

I love the fact that Tyson Chandler and Ariza both wanted off the team to play for a contender....and now...it sure seems like BOTH will miss the playoffs. LOL.

Ironically, Jared Dudley might just get to play in the post season.

Karma!

Oh yeah I love it. Now there's a tiny little part of me that's freaked the hell out about the Lakers having even the smallest chance of getting Zion.

On a side note how the hell was Kris Dunn not kicked out of the game for cuffing young in the back of the head yesterday. That's some **** that will get you punched on a pick up court.

Conley with a career high 40 tonight with 6 3s. Delon Wright with 25 for them.

McD had great idea what veteran player can bring winning culture, tough defense and provide mentorship for young players.

Good grief you guys. Ayton is rounding into a fine defender. This was a loaded draft. Lots of options. We got a great one.

No doubt. Ayton is good and will be dominant in time. Ayton's rookie year vs. Doncic and Young has been respectable, but let's give credit where credit is due. Trae and Doncic are really, really good. Bagley will be good too. JJJ and Wendell Carter are no slouches. This was a generational draft.

I personally loved Trae and think Atlanta made a great call with the trade... but so did the Suns with Ayton. We made the right pick and I take Ayton in years 3-10 over anyone from the 2018 draft... but it will be close with Trae and Doncic.
