Juancho is specially interesting me now you mention him. He shoots the lights out from deep, he is young, fast, long arms and good fundamentals. Plus he is cheap due to he's not playing.

He wouldn't play on the Suns. The competition would be even tougher here than on the Nuggets.

His primary position is SF, and we have Oubre and Bridges. 0 minutes there for him.

He can play some PF too, but he is not better than Saric at all. As a backup PF we have Cam Johnson who needs and deserves minutes. And Kaminsky (with Ayton back). He is quicker and a better ball handler than Kaminsky, but Kaminsky is better than him as a post player, passer and can play some C being 7'0.....Juancho can't play C.

So, with all that in mind I don't think he would be in the rotation.


I don't know. He's 6'9 and listed as a PF. He also has shot fairly well when he got minutes. It's just hard to know with guys like that. It would take good scouting of the games he has played in.

We really need to nail a draft pick, like Toronto does with Siakam and FVV or Denver keeps doing. Someone who is cheap, on a rookie contract and on a star trajectory....and like a late pick in the teens. Heck, I don't even know if FVV was drafted...he may have been undrafted. He's on fire this year. He's on my fantasy team and it looked to me from his numbers he was playing better than Lowry.

But we have three players on that spot already, and he is not under contract for next season. I mean...he is a downgrade.

We can trade for him an sit him on the bench behind Oubre, Mikal, Saric, Cam and Kaminsky. All these players are better than him (or at least not worse) and they are under contract or RFA (Saric).

They know the system and we are creating good chemistry. I would not add a player who is not an upgrade.

Willy has talent to score,good left hand and is improving his shooting but is not a good defender. This is why he doesn't play.Although is older than Juancho, i think is a little bit inmature.Maybe looking too much for his muscles and not focus in his defense. Anyway i wish him the best

For gods sake. Mikal can defend very well but is young and offensively is trash. Juancho is miles better.

I still think Love is the guy we'll look at if we're hovering around .500 come mid-December, as we should be. Said it many times already - the James Jones/Love connection, plus Rubio/Love 3 years together, along with fit next to Ayton is too big to ignore.

TJ, Okobo and Frank (after Dec 15) and maybe a couple of 2nds gets it done I reckon. Wouldn't include a 1st. Portland probably sniffs around Love and Houston could too.

Our bench becomes STRONG too, though I do like TJohnson and he would be a loss, hopefully Jerome can replicate his production.

Ayton / Baynes / Diallo
Love / Saric
Oubre / Cam
Booker / Bridges
Rubio / Jerome / Carter

We now rank 10th in the Athletic's power rankings, 8th in ESPN's RPI, and have played the 5th toughest schedule.

Yeah, the schedule is just starting to crack now. More of a normal schedule. Hopefully they can string together some wins and separate from .500. I think we can blitz the hawks, then Boston will be a big game to start creating some distance and beating a good team, which would make 3 out of 7 (good teams), not too bad considering Ayton is out.

hey guys, I'm going to be at the Pelicans game next week! I specifically scheduled a work trip just for this. If you see an Asian guy with spiky hair and business casual attire on TNT that might be me!

Business casual? Dress as a ninja and then we will certainly have a better chance of picking you out and associating it with the user name.

Especially if you will be also carrying a muleta or castanets. Think about it, recognition on this board might be worth it :lol:

The Hawks are depleted for tonight...

Alex Len (left ankle sprain) is probable.
Cam Reddish (AC joint sprain - left shoulder) is probable.
Chandler Parsons (injury management - bilateral knees) is doubtful.

Vince Carter (personal reasons) is out.
John Collins (league suspension) is out.
Kevin Huerter (left shoulder injury) is out.
Evan Turner (left Achilles pain) is out.

This comment will probably come back to haunt me when he drops 30 out of nowhere but the suns should be hoping cam reddish plays, he's been downright terrible so far.

Jeez this sucks. On the back-to=backs, Kings gonna want revenge for the beat down we gave them and then we have to play the Nuggets at elevation too. Just another Silver conspiracy against the Suns.

So they only win 5 out of the next 7. That's good. Very very good. You saying they can't?

I cannot believe Chandler Parsons is still on a roster
