These kids are pesky. We must have the youngest rotation in the league and we just beat two good playoff teams. Love it, tank be damned, ignite the future!

Ulis is a straight up baller. He reminds me of Chris Paul with his mid range game, the way he attacks the D in the pick and roll, and his change of pace. I love watching him play man.

Gotta give credit to Watson for enabling these young guys. I don't know how much of an impact the front office had in showcasing the vets in the beginning of the season, but I look at young guys that started the season and where they are now and they look confident in what they can do, and they play with heart.

We are solid when we pick at 5 though, remember Alex Len?

Isaacs/Tatum is No 5 in DX's mock draft so I'd be okay taking one of them there anyway.



Half sarcasm aside..


Sure Isaacs and Tatum arent bad picks to have.... Then you realize Suns could have Fultz, Ball or Jackson instead....

As Suns fans I'm sure you are used to bad luck and know the Suns won't get a top 2 pick even if we had the 2nd worst record anyway. :(

The 2017 draft? I like Ulis a lot but that's insanity. You shouldn't be more excited for him than Fultz, Ball, Smith.

Huh

No huh. It's still insane. He can play really well, and frankly his current level of play is exactly what I expected of him when we drafted him. That said, his height limits his upside, just as it does IT (who for all of his offensive glory is still pretty neutral once you see his offensive numbers). Fultz is more talented and has more upside. Ball has more upside and is a better passer, which is Ulis's strength. Smith maybe you would have an argument given his play this year, but the other 2 you are absolutely insane to be more excited about. Age, upside, etc.. matters. A lot.
