Regressed from when exactly?
people have soured on Bender, it's time to trade him
(please, just get him away from the Suns, sorry)

I saw a box score just last night where a really good player was 0-7...can't remember who. It happens. Not that it's ok, but hopefully Jackson figures something out offensively in time.
I mean our great McD said "We think Josh was the best player in the draft.."
what bothers me more: i just think he is not smart.
not in terms of intelligence, it is his ability to read the game and decision making. is that coachable? can he adapt to a role over time?
i mean i would love him to be a tony allen type of player. stick to the role, be a pesky defender. hit a shot now or then.
that is not much to ask.
Would suck because folks bitched about PJ Tucker saying he's a dime-a-dozen guy and if Jackson is just a replacement for PJ we really lost out on the #4 pick. Sadly, Allen not even a decent shooter ... really bad in fact.

He'll be visiting the hair salon soon enough

Memphis is a threat in that respect. We play them twice, Sac, and maybe Dallas right around the time Booker returns so it will be interesting to see how all that plays out. Those games could have quite an impact on where everyone ends up.
We have has such horrible luck this year with injuries, the Bledsoe situation, coaching, etc, that I feel we are due....I know you are never due and it's random, but still, I feel like we are finally due after all these years to actually get some good luck in the top 3 draw. Regardless of all that, hopefully we just make the right pick. There is a good chance 1 or 2 of those top 5 or 6 do not become really good players.
I think the Suns will be ultra careful with Booker. There is no real reason not to be. Aside from the fact that he is the future of the franchise, we are better served losing those games and I think the management knows that.
I feel good about Ayton. I think Doncic is the safest pick in the draft, but we'd need a center still with him (maybe that gets addressed in FA or with the 2nd pick). I feel less certain about Bagley and think Bamba is most likely a 1 way player though elite at that side of the ball a la Gobert.
I'd go Doncic, Ayton, Bagley, Porter, Bamba right now.

When Bledsoe tweeted "I don't want to be here" when asked about it by the GM he said he was at the hair salon with his girlfriend and didn't want to be there.

On the other hand I see Chriss who just hasn't given a **** about anything since the day he stepped back on the summer league court. It's been 6 months of entitled basketball in his play and his attitude.
