Suggs reportedly had a bad workout with the Raptors

[andyo]

Knew Masai and Co wouldn't take Suggs....I for one was happy with the selection. I've been in the overwhelming minority who have said they would have been disappointed if we took Suggs.

Just don't see anything special in his game. He's going to struggle mightily in the NBA because he is ineffective in the half-court- whether that be his triple threat game, creating a shot, shooting, or even play-making.

At least with Barnes, you have optimism he can grow into a role, with our development team to be special.

So you are describing Suggs as an average guard who barely belongs in the lottery. Yet he was the immediate 5th pick after we passed. Not like he fell to 10 or 15

No where did I say that, his ceiling is higher then an average guard. Like Barnes, he has a lot of room to grow. I would have taken him #6, after Barnes and Kuminga. I group them all in the same tier, along with Jalen Green. I thought there was a clear tier 1: Mobley and Cunningham.

"Struggle mightily" doesn't sound like a star rookie taken #5.

I predict Suggs will come out of the gate playing well like Lamelo Ball a year ago.

I suggest you do exactly that, try to figure it out, and maybe you will see why they liked Barnes.

I see the 76ers desperately trying to trade Ben Simmons, so perhaps you should take your own advice.

Ben Simmons is a mental midget. By all account Barnes seems more aggressive. The bucks just won with giannis who switches everything, can handle the ball and playmake, not a good shooter. Barnes doesn’t have the length of Giannis but his shot and body is way more developed than Giannis’ at the same age.

Davis the year before is also another guy who’s similar in that he switches, can handle the ball and make plays, more polished shooter but also not as aggressive.

Pascal Siakam the year before

Draymond green the year before

Needless to say, these types of players are really valuable, and we have god damn 3 of em.

I love "God damn 3 of them"
