Exactly.

Thats perfect, because he is the type of player that will use that as extra motivation. He seriously has a competitiveness and drive that we have rarely seen in Phoenix.

On the C's subforum theres 4 pages of hate mail dedicated to JJ because of the cancelled workout. But why should they care, they apparently weren't going to pick him anyway. According to them Tatum is the better player, but it seems there maybe just some saltiness going on :lol:

Interesting how high Ford is on Reed and Peters.

Phoenix Suns: A

Round 1: Josh Jackson (4)

Round 2: Davon Reed (32), Alec Peters (54)

The Suns had some major internal debates over Jackson, De'Aaron Fox and Jonathan Isaac. Each of the three would've fit in his own way, but I like Jackson's fit the best. As an athletic wing with a defensive edge, Jackson brings a toughness that this young Suns squad desperately needs.

Reed also can supply a defensive edge and length as a potential backup to Jackson. And Peters is a steal. Had he not gotten injured, I think he would've gone in the first round. Big guys who can shoot with his accuracy will always find a place in the league.

I love how the Suns are beginning to round into form. As this young core develops, they should be able to make some noise in the playoffs in a few years.

I wonder if the league will do something next year to prevent this from happening again. You'll start seeing people scream it during earlier picks.

I wasn't even watching twitter to see who leaks them, but if it's still only WOJ, it will probably end, because the rumor is that he will be working for ESPN when all the other NBA writers that got canned are gone (I think June 30th). So he will probably just be on the espn show.

Well for the 1st round Woj regulated his leaking duties to Yahoo Sports/Vertical writer Shams Charania. Shams was the one leaking everything then The Vertical was retweeting him.

This is also nice to see.

Golden State Warriors: A
Round 1: N/A

Round 2: Jordan Bell (38)

The Warriors once again found a way to mine gold from the second round.

I love Bell's energy and ability to defend multiple positions. He's an elite shot-blocker and defender. He reportedly shut down every player he worked out against.

The Warriors can use that type of energy off the bench. I think Bell is going to be in the league a long time, and if he ever figures it out offensively? Watch out.

I'm sure Woj will bring his whole staff over to espn.

I can't find it on the Suns site which is really odd.

It's almost 20 past the hour and nothing. Just wasting my bandwidth, thanks suns!

If Jackson doesn't win ROY, who do you think will?
