For me its Okobo. Im super high on him and hope he shows off all the things he can do.

Ayton is close but I put so much faith that he is going to be the best player in the draft it wouldn't surprise me if he put up 20/10 in SL...

Bridges is a great player too but i can only pick one. :(

:lol: I knew I was gonna see Okobo as the answer when I saw the thread is created by you.

I also voted Okobo because I only saw his highlights in that 44 point game and that's the only thing I watched about Okobo. Also, he is important as he can fix our PG problem if he is good. I am hopeful too btw.

I am excited to see all of three in SL. However, my favorite rook is Mikal.

Okobo. I've seen a lot of Ayton and a bit of Mikal. Haven't watched Okobo live.

Ayton will be different on this team, so definitely Ayton.

Ayton, he is our 1st 1st pick in the history after all.

I'm also excited to see how Kokoskow's coaching will look.

It's close between Okobo and Ayton. Ayton because I want to see him play against other players who have played at the NBA level but also Okobo because I haven't watch a ton of his film

I have high expectations for Ayton and Bridges. But Okobo seems to be the player who will probably be the most interesting seeing as he's a very hyped 2nd rounder.

Y'all sleeping on Shaq Harrison. He's my vote.

To me it’s Bender. I want to see how he works with Ayton and I want to see his confidence/aggressiveness.

Everyone talks about needing a stretch four, but that is exactly who Bender can be.

It is all about Ayton.

#1 pick in the draft, we need to be sure that he is not gonna be a bust. Everything can happen in the NBA.

I think he is gonna be an All Star, but he needs to show his game in the pros.

I say bridges , just because I don’t see Ayton playing the full summer league and think Ayton needs more of a connection with booker and the other starters more than summer league experience.

Ayton, he's the #1 pick and suppose to be our next king.

I can't really pick from the others I want to see ALL of them.

I want to see Ayton dominate. Number 1 pick. Should be scoring efficiently in the paint and I want to see that his jumper actually falls too. Finally, I do not want to see him foul a million times per game.

Bridges actually.

I think Ayton is going to be surprisingly decent on defense, but Bridges has all the tools to be an elite wing defender. He'll be 2-3 years older than a lot of the rooks out there and his length and defensive instincts are going to make some of them look like they can't dribble or shoot.

Bridges and Ariza need to be our dobermans out there (especially since the league is so guard and perimeter focused now) and this coach will utilize them effectively, I think.

Summer league is generally guard dominated, i’m most interested in seeing Okobo and how he plays cause I know the least about him, Mikal isnt going to have a lot of chance to shine other than hitting his shots. Ayton will do his thing and hopefully dominate.

I know what Josh can do i’d like to see his improved shot, Bender i dont know he has played decent in summer league before I dont really care what he does until it’s during an nba game that matters

Ayton for me. I'm interested to see how he well defends with all of his minutes at the 5 and what should be a solid defensive team for SL. I also want to see what kind of role Igor has for him on offense.

I'm excited for Okobo too. He could potentially match up against Dennis Smith Jr. for game 1 and De'Aaron Fox for game 2, so we'll get a good look at where he stands compared to 2 of the better guards at his age.

Need to see ayton do well in summer league. It won't mean he'll be a good pro, but sucking in summer league is never a good sign.

Of course. Basketball is back even though its summer league and want to see the young prospects perform even if they arent doing it on full level. Also, since when do the Suns have the best odds of winning the summer league championship? We might not see something so spectacular in quite some time so watch it like its the NBA finals.
