2016 NBA DRAFT NIGHT THREAD

[GetYourPHX]

We're legit going to have a 100% Kentucky backcourt this year.

[Gorilla Warfare]

I still can't believe we ended up with Bender AND Chriss and added another Kentucky guard on top of that...but finally a Kentucky guard that passes and doesn't turn it over.

Watching the interviews now...McD saying "agents called us saying he WANTS to play in Phx"....sure, that's definitely true, but they probably called every team saying the same thing.

The kids want to play here, too bad the vets don't feel the same way.

[Kerrsed]

wow, and off the cuff right before the audio cuts off he mentions Chriss getting bigger and playing some 5 ala' Dreymond Green.

[TheSunGod]

Honestly was not expecting our draft haul to be this good. Really, really excited to catch Summer League action!

[Kerrsed]

Of course they do, we had the 4th pick!

Wouldnt be so sure they would have called about them wanting to be in PHX if we had #14 again, LMAO.

[JMac1]

Were are just YOUNG talent at crazy rate

Bledsoe 26
Knight 24
Booker 19
Chriss 18
Bender 18.........it's so awesome to type those two names and its for real
Len 23
TJ 23

Bender can play the 4 and 5 in the future
Chris can play the 3 and 4 in the future and some 5 possible.

Small/Tall Ball


Bledsoe 6'1
Knight 6'3
Booker 6'7
Chriss 6'10
Bender 7'1

all can shoot the

Does us moving Bogdan show that we still have faith in Archie?

I do. He's still younger than Buddy Hield and Kris Dunn.

It shows that Divac knows his euro boys.

Any peculiar notion that Cousins is on the block. Kings have Stein, draft two more bigs ???? Cousin tweets out an OMG note. If any team is in need of a teardown/rebuild, its them.

I think Ainge may have gotten blackballed GM wise

From what i have read on the Kings board, they feel like they are setting themselves up for when they continue to suck next season and Cousins demands a trade.

I still think we could swoop up Cousins/Gay with Knight/Len/Warren/Future 1st.

Bledsoe/Ulis
Booker/Goodwin
Gay/Tucker
Bender/Chriss
Cousins/Chandler

But then again, there are some rumblings about a SAC/LAL deal, most likely around Russell/Randle/????? for Cousins.

[Phnxsports]

The coolest part of the night is we can have fun with the Bender vs Chriss battles we all have had for the last couple weeks play itself out. Let the battle begin!

Man, I might have to take time off work to watch summer league. Ulis, Booker, Chriss and Bender? All we've been watching is highlights...that will seriously be exciting...because they will be playing against similar competition...easier to judge how good they are immediately over watching limited minutes against nba vets.

So I take it you are happy with the draft?

Ummmm sure... lets get on it! Something has to be up though.

FYI if you search dragon bender in Google images there are quite a few gender swapped dragon ball z pictures. Worth the look.

I think Chriss wanted to be with us. The way Watson is talking about him, it seems like they got each other. Chriss knows he's got a lot he needs to improve on and I think a lot of teams didn't feel like he "gets it".

[MrMiyagi]

I'm excited for Summer League. July - hurry up and get here!

I really think Watson was a great choice for coach. I think he is perfect for this team. Props to DRK for calling it.

Are you happy or unhappy with this draft? Or just accepting what comes and hoping for the best.

I guess the latter statement could apply either way.

[MrMiyagi]

Len/Archie/Warren/Booker/Bender/Chriss/Ulis

BEST YOUNG CORE IN THE NBA

Bender, Chriss and Ulis are ours, so I'm rooting for them. I want to see them on the court together. I still like Archie Goodwin, so they have at least 4 seasons of my support.

Hey aren't you the same guy who was powdering Knights jock strap last yr ?
