I think this is a moot point because I think we'll have an opportunity to draft 1-2 of the mentioned players.

Now, it's Isaac... maybe Ntilikina if Bledsoe is traded

Drafting the foul magnet last year just closed any chance of Markkanen here.

Voted for Ntilikina. Youngest player in the draft but mature beyond age, very smart and coachable - McD must like him. He is a bit like Ball with lower floor but higher ceiling. Could be great next to Booker.

Forgot about Isaac. Dude is oozing potential. Can we come out of the draft with Fultz and Isaac please? McD make it happen.

I chose Lauri and here is why.
1. Extremely high efficiency player. That matters more than volume numbers.
2. Size. A 7 foot three point shooter is always effective in getting his shot off.
3. Low bust potential. Shooters always have a job in this league. Shooting rates above athleticism in today's NBA.
4. Team. Best player on an excellent team.

If there was an Embiid in this draft, I would want him. But there is no bulky 7 foot plus, low post player in this draft.

Fultz/Booker/Isaac/Chriss/Bender

Yeah man, I feel our goal should 100% be getting two top 8/10 picks in this draft. At all costs. There are just too many great PG/SF combos that could fill those roles in our "future lineups"; I always loved TJ as our 6th man anyways.

Obviously we've all been looking at mock drafts, but I don't know how any Suns fan can

1) See this PG crop (Fultz, Ball, Smith, Ntilikina, Monk)
2) See this SF crop (Jackson, Isaac, Tatum, Bridges, and my guy that I feel is getting slept on Anunoby)
3) Look at what we have penciled in ???/Booker/???*/Bender/Len**

And not come away with "Good god, no matter how the draft shakes out, we've gotta get one of each". The great combinations are ridiculously plentiful.


* I just don't think Booker and Warren complement each other well enough to be our FUTURE STARTERS of a CHAMPIONSHIP caliber team? I'm sure some disagree, and he for sure looked great those first few games--I just feel that Book needs high quality defenders at the PG/SF positions around him if we are going to create the best possible team. He will get better on D, but you can't have both him and Warren as question marks defensively going forward, IMO.
** I thought Len would be better by this point in the year tbh; I'm not quite sold on Chriss/Bender as the future front court either though, so... idk man, maybe we try to get Noel from the Sixers? With Knight? I'd be down to attach Len to any deal to secure that 1st 2nd high 1st rounder; I don't think he has much value on his own.

Is Lauri basically Channing Frye part two?
