Jay Bilas' best available (Trayce Jackson-Davis) actually fits our needs well. Looks strong on pluses, wingspan, and averages over 11 reb per 36, over 4 assists per 36 and 3 blocks per 36.

Suns suck at drafting. Glad we don’t have picks

Damn I wanted Davis. Oh well this late of a pick rarely works out anyway. Wondering if he had a promise from someone and told teams not to take him.

SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Chris Livingston (Kentucky) cancelled all his workouts at the combine and his agent started calling teams TO NOT DRAFT him in the 2nd round.
Might be our target tbh

Just as I get excited about Trayce Jackson-Davis they pass. Then this guy didn't look bad but traded..maybe we get someone back in our trade exception. Who fits?

Or did they make another pick we might get?

Who we drafted for trade:

Suns will actually pick 59th in the exchange of all their 2nds to Washington bidding against themselves on a player with a no trade clause that only wanted Phoenix and really had mo other legitimate competition for him.

As I've said..............an unecessary overpay on our part for Beal! And another black mark on Jones record.

Yeah he is. Isn't he?

ESPN has done a terrible job letting us know about where these picks are going

Was moving down 7 spots another part of the Beal trade?

There was nothing about this year's 2nd in anything I saw. Seems like maybe a player to fit in our trade exception. But hopefully we have 59.

I sure hope not! He's a slightly better version of Josh Jackson really.

Shams:

Clarity here: Toumani Camara will be with the Suns. Phoenix targeted and selected him tonight. The pick was not part of the Bradley Beal trade.
