I think he's gonna be a short mike conley, which is a dream come true considering conley is probably the fift best point guard in the league during this point guard era were going through

Well considering the Suns just drafted him, I'd be happy with that.

Philly wouldve still gone for simmons first imo then thrown the kitchen sink at boston for the 3rd pick.
thinking okafor 24/26 maybe something else and theyre set for the future.

I think there is ZERO chance he's available at 34 with additional height.

In fact, I'd bet that if he was just 20lbs heavier, at 170, he'd have gone in the 1st. If he was just 3" taller--6'1"--and at 6'1", had a 6'5" Wingspan--I think he'd easily be a top 10 pick. At 6'5"?? Probably still not top 2, but maybe top 7-8 pick.

The problem is, at 5'10", his abilities will be highly limited IRT his shooting, but as a facilitator, I think he can do some really good things. And his steals are also impressive. So with a 7.25 PPR, 3.56 A/TO ratio, and average 1.6 steals per 40, and career 1.9 TOs/40, at a minimum, he'll be a welcome 'change' from Bledsoe/Knight, at least as far as I'm concerned.

At 6'5 with his current skillset? he'd be challenging for #1 in this draft, no question.

I don't get these types of questions. Add 7" to any player and they are in a totally different player. Add 7" to Chris Paul and he's the greatest player of all time, a better version of LeBron James.

In this draft? 1st easily.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”
