can you please copy/paste their current mock?

I don't have Insider. But I can tell you that they have Aaron Holiday at the Bucks pick, though they have it under PHX, even though they have a note that says it will be the Bucks' picks.

17. Phoenix Suns (via Bucks)

Aaron Holiday
UCLA
Age: 21.5
PG


Height: 6-foot-1 | Weight: 187

With Eric Bledsoe shipped off to Milwaukee, the Suns could very well use the pick they acquired in that trade to attempt to find a point guard who complements their existing pieces and whom they can hopefully build around long-term.

Holiday had an outstanding junior season, and he would bring a number of attractive traits with his scoring ability, long wingspan and toughness. The fact that he can space the floor and play off the ball some is important, considering the building blocks the Suns already have in place.

Starting salary: $2,460,000

Phoenix will receive Milwaukee's pick if it lands in Nos. 11-16.

Like Aaron Holiday but there's no way I'm picking him that high.

I don't think I'd be mad with Holiday there. He's literally the only guy I've been looking at for a while and I think he's pretty good.

Sell the pick so we can retain all our guys to keep the continuity.

Would you all be willing to trade #17 with a bad contract (Snell, Delly, or Henson) for either Vuc or Fournier? I think the Magic would also be interested in DJ Wilson and Sterling Brown if they're available.

Could we move up a couple spots if we packaged #17 with Bledsoe?

The more film I'm watching, I kinda dig Lonnie Walker at our range.

I'd trade the pick in a heartbeat if we rid ourselves of Snell and Bledsoe.

Woooof.....

Of the first rounders, Giannis clearly the prize; but then Bogut, Ford, and Parker have had significant disruption to their careers through injury. The rest are performance disappointments

More of the second rounders have had useful to really good careers - even if as journeymen.

That's a pretty sad comment on the Bucks scouts and GM's

Cavs for #8 in a last ditch effort to keep Lebron still seems possible.
