Glad to see everybody on Bonga. I don't think he's got Giannis's destroy-my-enemies mentality but I think he's a better passer and a more controlled player. I would take a half-Giannis who had a pure facilitator's approach.

We need shooters. Who are some of the better ones in the draft?

Trae Young, Doncic, Mikal Bridges, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tyler Hall, Bluiett, Grayson Allen, Landry Shamet to name a few.

Do you think that our pick plus Thon moves us up to the top 3 of the draft, considering Thon is a future MVP? Just say "yes" please.

Think that Trae Young is gonna be more Seth Curry than he is Steph Curry.

DX has Young at #12, Bonga at #50.

Still would take Wendell Carter if he falls somehow.

A league for Thon?

Jarren Jackson is going top 5, which will make it interesting who drops.

Why are you so confident about that? He's a great college shot-blocker, but so are a lot of guys who never made it in the NBA. He has lots of potential but also seems like he's a long way from being ready to play at a high level in the NBA.

I really want to like Brandon McCoy (C-UNLV) but he's going to take time to mature. Project-able frame, good footwork, but rough around the edges.

Had 33 and 10 against Arizona earlier this year and will likely be a lottery to mid 1st pick.

Does this mean DX is back up and running or was that from last year?

More than likely a business expense to head back home for the holiday

It’s the DX guys on ESPN.

Do we not employ any international scouts? Can't find them listed anywhere.

RandyBreuer · Post #180 » by **RandyBreuer** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 1:32 am

Yes 11-16 Suns would take the pick. Must get to losing or winning more. Dangerously close to the 16 hole at 3 games above 500 with a log jam of teams within a few games up or down.

Who do you think will be the #1 overall pick?
