Anyone who would rather have a
third starting SF, instead of a player at a position of actual need, is the one who needs their head examined. Please, do tell, what's your line up when we draft Doncic, because I'm sure it starts with..."well, we'd have to trade..." I know, I know...you think Warren will be a great 6th man...well, tell that to him and his nearly 19/6 he's slashing...3PT% isn't everything...
I'm not advocating drafting a lesser player at the 1st or 2nd overall pick, and anyone who thinks that's what I meant REALLY needs their head examined, or did you not read that part of my post? Here it is again for you...
"I'd rather have Williams or Carter or Jaren Jackson or Sexton in the 6-10 range, then draft a THIRD SF in Doncic, or take a chance on Porter."
I'm advocating making a move that will actually benefit this club, rather than have two starting SFs rot on the bench while one starts, like we have one already, or how we have two developing PFs that were pick in the Top 8 (those aren;t guys you use to fill out a roster...those are eventual starters...), with flipping a coin as to who starts...a blogger I read recently said it best about drafting Bender and Chriss in the top 10...
"Two teenagers who play the same position—what could go wrong!"
But sorry I didn't spell it out for you completely; hopefully you are able to understand my point now. But just in case...
...drafting a third starting SF, no matter HOW good he is, is completely pointless...UNLESS...we have traded the two remaining SFs on our Roster, and have already addressed our PG and C positions.
IF that has not happened, and our roster remains largely as is...in talent level and positions...meaning Ulis/Mike James has not improved drastically, and Monroe/Len are gone as expected, and we proceed to draft Doncic, and do as we have done after the 2016 draft...and the 2017 draft...(which is nothing), then yes, that would be, IMO, a dumb move.
So, please explain to me why exactly I need my 'head examined' because I do not want a third starting SF on the Suns, when we are so desperate at the PG and Center positions. Because IMO, it would make more sense to trade down, and depending on who we trade down with, either trade for their Center or PG, or trade for their 2019 1st Rd pick, or both, then draft someone '
like' a Williams or Carter or Sexton or Duval...basically, the best PG/Center available.
So, hopefully, that has cleared it up for you, and you no longer feel as though I need my head to be examined...
...but please, do tell, again, what are your plans for a third starter-worthy SF on this roster, and what do you see our depth chart as being...because before, you said JJ had 'Franchise-changing potential', and you feel Doncic is one of the best European prospects ever...so, which one are you going to NOT develop as a starting SF? Especially, considering Warren's not giving his spot up any time soon...
...or are you going to force one to play out of position? Hopefully, not PF, because we already have two of those that we've drafted in the top 10. It's not going to be SG, because we have Booker. So, will it be Center??? PG??? So why don;t you figure that out, and I'll worry about whether my head needs to be examined or not, thank you very much...
