the problem with Alkins for me - is that I think there will be better options at 31 and at 59, the Suns need to do a draft and stash

they just not have room to me - for another rookie. Isiah Canaan as the 6th guard for the vet minimum would be more helpful than Alkins - unless he is on a two way deal - but he would have to be in the G League - the whole year or damn near close

the player i want - if the same type of player is Jordan Bell at 31 defensive minded, doesn't need plays called - rebounds, defends, just makes plays

Always thought that dude had star potential, he just never got over the hump. Watching him during games, athletically he is impressive but he never was a consistent shooter I think.

It's a damn shame that he wasnt invited to the Combine.
I could say the same for Bonzie... I love them both.

Musa looks amazing and that recent report about Okobo was impressive. 40+ on 8/11 3 point shots. Wowza.

International picks who stay oversees for a year or two would benefit this team. You essentially are gaining picks for future years. It's frees up other future assets for trade.

UCLA sucks. The Pac 12 sucks. And so does college basketball in general. Bet you can’t name 3 Xs and Os studs in that league.

Shake Milton played really bad in the combine.
Hopefully he'll started hitting those shots in our workout.

Seems like a very good fit if we keep our 2nd pick.
