    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    Compared to Noel Bamba is an offensive juggernaut. Noel had no jumper, no post-up moves. Not at all. Bamba has a nice-looking jumper, post moves, semi-hooks and he can also drive. And Bamba's wingspan is 7'9, Noel's 7'4. I don't think they are in the same tier.

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    I agree that Porter' athleticism is much closer to Lewis' than to Durant's but Lewis' bread and butter was his 3P-shot. Porter reminds me of the young Mike Dunleavy.

    I disagree, Bamba seems (much) more than that. He reminds me of Marcus Camby, but he is longer.

    Pick Watch 2018

    Yes. #14 and #21 did net #9 for the Jazz in the Trey Burke-trade.

    Pick Watch 2018

    Problem is Detroit's play is far from convincing. Based on their post Griffin-trade performance I highly doubt that they will make the play-off unless Reggie Jackson comes back soon and/or they show heavy improvement.

    Taller Sam Cassell? Dunleavy was more athletic, but Doncic is a far more advanced playmaker and one-on-one player, IMO.

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    These concerns about Ayton were legitimate before the season. But since then he improved his defensive awareness (especially on the perimeter), passing and overall attitude (according to espn/old DX staff). He reminds me of an even more fluid Joel Embiid or if he bulks up, Jermaine O'Neal...

    Who should the Suns target with their 2nd round picks?

    Brunson as a freshman was a projected 1st round pick, then slowly slipped back into the 2nd round and returned to school year by year. Solid player, reliable shooter and playmaker but a below average athlete. He will have a great career in Europe, IMO and has a shot of becoming an NBA player...

    Grant Hill was a great athlete before his ankle collapsed.

    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    I did like it.

    Givony and Schmitz still think that Doncic is the 1/1 although it will be a tough battle with Ayton.

    Yes, especially that Papagiannis made the big leap out from the NBA. :)

    Saying THE best is always double-edged but he is definitely a top player. I truly suggest for all the Doncic-doubters and -haters to watch a whole game of Doncic. He is the complete package. Floor general. Can make a tricky pass and a simple one. Always knows when to take which. Fundamentally...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    The scouting report of nbadraft.net is 2 years old. Thestepiens' saying about his release being slow and low is simply wrong, IMO. He has a textbook jumper and a quick trigger. He takes 6 3P-shots per game while defenses focus primarily on him and hitting 34% of them.

    And you must have wrong standards. Ginobili was a great athlete.

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    European Championship and Euroleague (especially the top teams) are far superior to NCAA basketball. So "always lesser" is completely wrong.

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    What is this nonsense about David Robinson? Doncic is closer to 6'8 Steve Nash, than Ayton to Robinson. Criticise Doncic lack of explosiveness, then raving about Porter? What about Porter's lack of explosiveness? I understand the questions about Doncic but he is by far the best professional...

    2018 NBA Trade Deadline

    Yes, Vonleh is a big-time disappointment. I also did like him very much in college and he probably will have a hard time next season to get a minimum NBA contract.

    Off Season Consideration

    No, Jackson hasn't. Tatum's defense is still far superior to Jackson's.

    Bamba is very special. Wendell Carter is not a bad consolation price either, if the Suns trade down.

    OT: at least we aren't Philly

    Geez, I had a pleasure of avoiding you for a long time but I have to realize that you are still your former yourself. Your NBA knowledge is still very limited, you have a very little to add to any conversation but you still not forgot how to be condescending.

    Should the Suns keep Ryan McDonough as GM

    No, it's not. Signing them for long-term contracts was a mistake, not trying to trade them when there is (very) little need for their services is another. Having them reduces heavily Suns' cap flexibility next summer and the best and most wanted thing is regarding Chandler and Dudley expiring...

    OT: at least we aren't Philly

    "How many PHX fans would reject a trade of Len, Criss, and Jackson for Embiid, Simmons, and Fultz right now?" Okay, tell me, how many?
