    2016-2017 NBA Draft Prospects

    That is crazy! Just watching an athletic kid dunk did and block shots did not impress me. There are thousands of kids who can do that, although very few his age. Shooting 96% from the line and 56% from three-point range is impressive. For a 14-year-old it is insane. I had to look at the...

    2016-2017 NBA Draft Prospects

    At that age wear and tear can be a huge problem. Knee problems are pretty common for kids in growth spurts. Osgood-Schlatter, SLJ and torn ligaments are all pretty common in youth sports. Most good youth coaches will be very cautious about developing speed and jumping to avoid doing...

    2013 NBA Draft Lottery: May 21

    (88/100)^20= a 7.75% chance of not getting the top pick. I missunderstood your original post, thinking that you never moved up in 20 tries. Congratulations: you are not cursed, just really unlucky. You should be careful at intersections, but don't necessarily need to look out for...

    2013 NBA Draft Lottery: May 21

    That is so unlucky that it is virtually impossible. With a 37% chance of moving up, to not move up in 20 consecutive tries is 0.00009700876. Head to a safe place as soon as you can, because you are cursed.

    Early 2013/14 Regular Season Predictions

    At this stage anyone's prediction is just a WAG, but I put that they would remain the same. I just don't have any confidence in the front office being able to bring in anyone who can make much of a difference. Statistically speaking, we are more likely to stay put or move down than move up...

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    One cannot argue with pessism or superstition, but statistically speaking the odds of moving down are slightly more than 50% (52.3%) and the chances of moving up are about 40% (40.2%) and we have about a 10% chance of sticking at number 4. The aproximate odds of each draft pick is as...

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    The best thing for fans that we got from this trade so far is a way to make what would have otherwise been a total a waste of a season something semi-intersting to follow. At least we had something to be excited about until the end of the season. Otherwise we have got to be about the least...

    Moves: The day after the season ends

    For the sake of being argumentatives, I'll thow out some names. There are the proven terrible NBA executives Scott Layden Isiah Thomas Elgin Baylor Michael Jordon (although the greatest player of all times probably deserves the right to screw up a third franchise.) There are the supremely...

    Beasley continues to impress

    I think it comes from watching the movie Hoosiers too many times. There is this myth that a great coach can produce a champion with mediocre players if he gets them to play defense. Unfortunately for the Suns, defense takes talent too.

    Suns @ Jazz 3/27/13 The tank is on thread

    I was wondering if this season's pessimism has made me too hard on Dragic. I looked around at 7-8 top ten point guards lists. Nobody considers Dragic a top 10 point guard. Parker, Paul, Westbrook, Rose, Irving, Rondo, Curry, Williams, Nash, Holiday, Lawson, Rubio, Conley, Hill, all got...

    Suns @ Jazz 3/27/13 The tank is on thread

    The difference is the marquee matchup. The Spurs incident was a nationally televised game between two championship contenders. This was a locally televised game between two irrelevant teams without an exciting player between the two squads. Advertisers are not going to get upset that a...

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    But Kobe went down in the last seconds against Atlanta. I would not wish an injury on anyone, but I don't mind Kobe missing a week or five.

    If someone says that they hope it works out fine, I would think that means they wish my family well and I would be grateful.

    2012-2013 NBA Prospects thread

    I would love to get Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins. Parker was the national player of the year as a junior, and Wiggins saved humanity by wiping out a race of insectoid aliens. Or maybe that was Andrew "Ender" Wiggin. Either way, Wiggins is supposed to be amazing as well.

    2012-2013 NBA Prospects thread

    But in Stein's lottery simulator when we fall to #5 or #6 someone picks Len and/or Smart before our pick comes up and one of those other four players is always available for us. So in that universe, we always get McLemore, Noel, Oladipo, or Otto Porter. No matter what.

    I have not watched it yet, but anytime the Suns beat the Spurs it is a thing of beauty. Living in San Antonio just got a little more tolerable for a while.

    Timberwolves @ Suns Game Thread 2-26-13

    Neither team cracking 80 points in regulation is pretty much unwatchable. I've been getting more reading done this season than I have in a long time.

    Telfair on Suns dysfunction.

    It certainly does not have the look of an intentional tanking like the Cavs did the year Lebron was coming eligible or when David Robinson sat out the year (I only partially beleive he was exaggerating the back problems.) the year Timmy was drafted. I just can't see anyone's master plan for...

    Telfair on Suns dysfunction.

    I saw this one on Hoopshype this morning: Well, Sebastian Telfair, acquired before Thursday’s trade deadline, is happy to be a Raptor. He has already seen dysfunction this season. “This is my ninth year in the league so I definitely don’t want to go through anything like we were going through...
