NBA Draft and NCAA Basketball

I mean, just like josh Jackson looked like a perfect fit, so does ayton.

Whenever I think of this coming draft for the Suns, Ayton is the player that comes to mind. Its a need thing and what would fit best with the rest of the team.

I just hope he is not another "I don't really like basketball but I'm 7 footer and athletic so why not become a millionaire" guy.

What do you think about point guards in this draft? Anyone who you would like to see as Suns pg of the future?

Sexton will be good. Getting the Bledsoe/DSJ comparisons a lot. I think he will be top 10 for sure.
Duval is also a bit like that, but he is shooting baaaaaad.
I dont know much about Lamar Peters, but he is also ranked fairly high...

November to march is my favorite time of the year, college and NBA basketball

I think Knox is going to jump up into mix for top 5 by the end of the year.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Teams love that athletic potential with an improving shot like Knox.

Diallo and Duval are the other two who have next level athleticism and if they can show improvement in their shooting could rocket up high.

Is our top5 pick in danger I wonder?
Dallas, Sacramento, Atlanta, Chichago are trash... Pretty safe bottom 4 I say. We are on par with Brooklyn, Miami, LAL,NY and the Pelicans I think. Injuries and luck will decide?

[Mulhollanddrive]

Wow I underestimated DeAndre Ayton.

31-10 in pre-season debut and looks like superstar potential.

Get that Brooklyn pick as I suspect we'll be picking around 7-10 (Chicago, Sacramento, Atlanta, NY, Brooklyn, Dallas).

[ATTL]

I love ayton, I think he'll have a good freshman year and be an even better pro. However it looks like he was playing against 6'5" guys in that video. I can't wait for the season to start

Also, I was hoping our resurgence would begin next year after we already had ayton.

Also also, I need the Lakers to get their **** together. If that pick is top 5 I don't know if I will mentally be able to handle the Lakers pick being Ayton while we draft 14th.

The guy looks like a more mobile Greg Oden. Is that a good comparison?

I haven't been following the standings but some of those teams might not win 20 games. New Orleans and Miami will eventually get it together. I'm not sure what to make of the Lakers yet.

Funny that if the season ended today we'd be picking 13th.

The guy looks like a more mobile Greg Oden. Is that a good comparison?

Mobility-wise yes. Not as "lumbering" as Oden but not as smooth as Embiid. He's also a great looking FT shooter which is huge considering his impact down low on the boards. He was 5-6 tonight and apparently around 75% in HS.

I can see that, I don't think ayton is the defensive prospect oden was. Oden was being called bill Russell part two.

More traditional center, I think ayton is more athletic.

I'll hold off until we see ayton against some real college teams.


Just for funsies, here's Andre Drummond looking like young amare

Ayton's D looked bad on that tape, he looks good on O

Bagley looked truly bad

[SunZel]

I just realized something...I really like Doncic but i have a feeling Dragic would be in his earto get away from the Suns as soon as possible if they drafted him. Who knows if Dragic is that petty but ya never know...

[Wilber85]

Why cause they both look 40 years old as Freshman in college?

I may or may not agree with your take on Bagley, but is your opinion of Bagley tainted by your college preference?

In this case you hope that the rumors of the Suns being for sale are true and a new ownership jumps in, which could change everything with Dragic's feelings toward the Suns.

Because they are both 7 footers, looks huge, and a monster on the boards.

[Qwigglez]

I hope Doncic is projected to go like 8th, where the Suns can take him.

Who cares? You control his rights for like 8 years. By then he will have formed his own opinion that will trump anything Goran has to say.

Atlanta isn't that bad. They have mostly played competitive basketball. Sac and Dallas have been unexpectedly awful though. Dallas may improve under Carlisle though as the season goes along.
