Yet they’ve made the conference finals and Beal and Wall haven’t .

That was eons ago.

And yes . DeRozan and Lowry have struggled at times. But they’ve also had great games .

Lowry’s game 7 vs Miami that year was really . Had like 38 on great day efficiency in a clinching game.

But yeah overall they’ve underperformed their reg season standards. However I think the Raptors realized that and have built a system where they are less reliant on them .

Josh Jackson is playing really well lately. In HS he was projected to be the best out of all the players in that 2017 NBA draft

PHX is gonna be alright if they get a top 3 pick this season.

That team has had sooooo many opportunities to move into the 8 seed (with Miami losing and even Milwaukee is doing poorly) and they continue to lose to teams they should be able to beat - lost to so many teams w/ worse records than them. It’s hard to believe they can’t win some of these games.

If the Suns win this game they deserve the #1 overall pick. Adding Ayton would actually make the Suns very intriguing to along with Elf, Booker, Jackson, and Warren.

Even if we lose it would be nice to get the #1 pick. We are definitely one of the teams at the bottom that has still been trying to win.
