    NBA Draft Combine 2019

    Garland Garland's freshman season ended abruptly because of a knee injury just five games in, leaving a cloud of mystery regarding exactly what to expect from him as an NBA rookie. Nevertheless, there's a lot to like about his ability to operate at different speeds, handle the ball on a string...

    Who do you want at #6 (early edition)

    Yes, Green was more athletic and also skilled after spending four years in college while Hunter will be drafted only after his sophomore season. Hunter is more of a defender than Green was, but his versatility, body-type and team-first mentality remind me of Draymond. That's encouraging...

    Suns Get The 6th Pick

    Yes, I agree that Hunter is not a difference-maker but I'm not sure that the Suns need more of those. Booker and Ayton under a good head coach and coaching staff surrounded by the right complementary players is a capable core, IMO. If available I would take Hunter at #6 without even thinking...

    Who do you want at #6 (early edition)

    Hunter's low steal- and block-rate are quite red-flaggish, indeed. Eye-test and advanced metrics both show that he is a great defender. It is even more weird that after getting much more playing time this year, yet his steals stagnated while his blocks even decreased. One possible explanation...

    NBA Draft Combine 2019

    I agree as someone who is extremely unimpressed by White. If he is a lottery pick that truly shows the average strength of this top-heavy draft class.

    Suns Get The 6th Pick

    Garland has the potential of once becoming a difference-maker. Hunter is the prototype of the very servicable, high floor guy with limited upside that can help every single team. Too bad, neither one will be available at #6, IMO.

    What is the plan?

    I never heard about that, I always had the impression that he looks like a primary ball handler PG ala Marbury or Arenas.

    What is the plan?

    Agreed. Or someone like Brogdon or Smart. Yes, he may be, but at the same time he needs the ball in his hands quite frequently.

    What is the plan?

    Generally I agree, but even Morant being a future great wouldn't that be a squad with too many scorers? Zion needs to be the focal point in offense. So does Booker. Morant also seems a number one option. Add Ayton who is much more of a scorer right now than anything else and Oubre who is not a...

    Adding a legit PF this offseason

    Mirotic, Harris and Randle will be out of the Suns' cap room-range. Young might be also, but even for the MLE I would prefer Taj Gibson over him.

    2019 Draft Prospects...

    I think that Clarke is the shorter version of John Collins which is not a great thing since Collins' game is based on his length and athleticism but he has inches on Clarke. Clarke is a great college player but in the NBA?

    Suns 2019 GM/Front Office Search

    That's completely incorrect.

    Is the draft terrible for is if we don't get Zion? Morant might be just as good for us.

    Both will be RFA's.

    Tyler Johnson to the Suns

    Because Ellington was not the asset that the Suns did this trade for, getting rid of his 6 mil. salary this year was the main reason why the Heat did this deal. It represents a lot of luxury tax savings this year and another 4 mil. next year for Miam.

    Tyler Johnson to the Suns

    Anderson's buy-out would have counted against the cap.

    Tyler Johnson to the Suns

    Heavy exaggerations.

    Tyler Johnson to the Suns

    You are kidding me, right? Anderson is one of the worst players in the NBA. He probably will be out of the league quite soon. Johnson is a solid backup SG.

    Tyler Johnson to the Suns

    Good deal for the Suns. Tyler Johnson is a solid backup SG while Anderson is crap. The Suns turned a deadweight into a productive player by taking additional 4 mil. salary next season.

    Would You Trade Josh Jackson for Lonzo Ball?

    I still hope that Jackson can turn it around, but I trade him for Ball without even thinking twice. However, I don't see any particular reason (except maybe Lavar Ball, which is a bit overrated and boring reason anyway) why the Lakers would do this.

    Is the next draft any good besides the 1st pick?

    If the Suns would be willing to trade even the #2, I don't see who would be a realistic target. Lillard might be one, but even for him trading #2 would be quite short-sighted, IMO.

    2019 Draft Prospects...

    Yes, the bigger Larry Johnson as his comparison crossed also my mind. nbadraft.net's comparison Barkley/Blake Griffin is not bad either.

    Suns @ Pacers 1-15-18

    That's too harsh. This season Warren improved heavily his 3P-shooting and significantly his FT% and AST/TO ratio. Defensive real plus-minus stats say that he improved his defense as well and eye-test supports this. He is still a minus defender but lack of overall team defense contributes as...

    Suns @ Pacers 1-15-18

    DET or NOH might trade a top4 protected 2019 1st rounder for him, maybe they would even add some more assets, maybe not even the pick.
  24. H

    What is the plan?

    Yes, and the Suns still do have room to improve, yet can keep the chance of 14% at Zion, since I do think that we are competing for the worst NBA team title with Cleveland and New York, Chicago and Atlanta are better teams, IMO.

    Tom Thibodeau, Anyone?

    Agreed. Thibodeau did a quite unimpressive job in Minnesota. Their defense was terrible under his tenure and their offense was basically giving the ball to Jimmy Butler in the 4th quarter and hope that he will settle it down. He ruined their future with the Butler-trades and his trademark...
