So people are still mad the Suns didn't draft a guy at #11 who fell into the 20's?

Now I'm not sure they are even gunning for Dlo. Max contract incoming for Rubio, trade for CP3/Wall? Nothing would surprise me at this point =-(

I'd be happy if he can make it through the entire season without injury. Reading up on him and these medical issues are no joke.

Honestly Cam is the profile of a guy I like...especially on a team that wants to turn it around more quickly. A 4 year guy, lights out shooter...pretty good rebounder.

Not sure why people call him a PF though. He's a 3.

Just seems we took him way too high. But we do desperately need shooting. There is something about taking the guy you want, but they could have definitely probably traded down at least once, maybe more and gotten him.

Nothing from Suns social media since the draft started. Are we trading the pick?

My rage has subsided a bit, hope Cam Johnson surprises us and becomes a valuable piece to the team. But man I just don't get this pick, he and Saric are basically the same player, and my guy Culver was right there at 6.

Trading TJ for nothing to clear up cap space means they are going for it in free agency for sure. JJ is probably gone to clear up more and maybe by a miracle Tyler Johnson doesn't opt in and have a ton of cap space now. THis team didn't need another 19 year old

Yup,we have watched quite a few teams get out of the NBA twilight zone, such as SAC and PHILLY. We continue to suck year after year and MCD has set this franchise back quite a bit. I am still holding hope that JJ can get us out of this and even though our pick wasn't sexy no one knows how this dude is going to turn out in the NBA.

Not a single player in this draft - outside Zion and maybe Morant - will help this team win.

Makes sense that Jones would favor a shooter in the draft. Watching footage of this guy, he's got a soaking WET shot. Every team needs shooters especially in today's NBA. This became a weak ass draft after Morant was picked, people are overreacting.
