And most oher mocks had Ware going before that Willing to bet the farm that he goes in the 1st.

With only a few stretch bigs are in this draft class, I don't see Ware lasting long outside of the lottery.

Yup, but 1 of the 1st round centers is going to drop to round 2.

Glad we worked out Newton. Obviously he's older and his 3pt% isn't pretty, but there's got to be something to be said for being the best player on the most dominant team in recent memory.

Isaiah Crawford sure looks like a young Middleton to me based on the 2 minutes I spent on him. And I literally mean the young version of Midds.

Yep. Won’t trading out of #23 for a protected future first and picking up a second get us below the 2nd apron? $1.9M lower starting salary for 2nd round pick, and we’re $1.7M over.

The trick with this draft is a lot of the prospects that I actually kinda like are guys that I don’t think really address our needs (aside from just having some youthful contributors).

Suns shouldn't pass on him at 22.

Give me Chomche over Oso, Holmes, or any of these other mediocre big-man prospects in the early-2nd round. I'd look past the competition and not think twice. Youngest dude in the draft, explosive vertical athlete, 7'4 wingspan, pretty new to basketball but looks like he has natural feel for the game. Sound familiar? Take a swing, Horst.

Thanks. Looks like I finally have a prospect to hope for.

Chomche is extremely raw and has big holes in his game according to scouting reports. This is huge swing and is ok for the end of the draft.

I'm not expecting anyone at #23 to be good this year (if ever, honestly). But show me a dude with youth, size, and athleticism and I'm in.

Comche showed in the combine games he's not even ready for the G League. I'd draft him if we pick up a later 2nd, but only if he agreed to sign a 2 year 2 way. He has no feel for the game, he's a turnover machine. He can shoot, and has good feet, but it's a longterm project.

Holmes is 200% better. Really good offensive player. The trick with Holmes is defensive position.

Totally agree with Comche over Oso, as Oso is just not an NBA player. He's a 1980s PF.

He should be, he's three and half years older.
