THe NBA is so lucky with its stars... the worst you have to fear is a weird flat-earther or riddled with insecurities KD or awkward AD...

The Suns know they have Russell. No coincidence that they cleared the cap for him and traded out of Garland/White.

Garland looks like Elie Okobo to me... this is a compliment BTW... I loved Okobo last season. I would love for us to trade for him still...

Garland was the #16 prospect in his HS class, played 5 games against cupcakes, and now he's the number 5 pick with Rich Paul at his side. Kid knows what he's doing :lol:

Exum is such a "what could have been" story... such a shame all those injuries. He was cooking Marcus Smart in his second SL and was better than Mitchell in his 3d SL. It's only fitting for him to destroy all the new PGs in his 4th SL. BTW it also shows just how much better even marginal rotational players in the NBA are than even the best rookie PGs.

NBA experience is real. It's not a joke, Exum would cream them in the summer league. After training camp that might not be the case, but there are levels to this.

I hate thinking about what could have been with Exum. I think Exum has gotten so much better since he came into the league. I can't imagine how much better he would if he was playing basketball instead of rehabbing 24/7.

I don't like this pick for NOP. Zion and Hayes are an awkward fit.

Agreed. Similar to Gobert / Favors?

Why pass up the chance to draft Japanese Kawhi? :lol:

How did Duke not win it all when 3 of the top 10 picks were on their team?

I guess... the injury concerns for Cam Johnson were overstated.

Which should really hammer home we can't get FA. I mean the Suns are a dumpster fire and a mess of an organization from top to bottom, but players would still rather go there than play for us. It's sad.
