    Suns pre-draft workouts

    Not many of us are able to predict the mind of McD. Mainly, I'm answering you to ask what the heck is the Goldschmidt line. Probably a reference to some movie, since I lag behind on knowing such things.

    Moving up scenarios

    I'd trade down for Mo Bamba, too, along with Doncic. Definite no for Young in my case - not so much that I think he'll bust but he's just such a bad fit for us. You ought to pair him with a tough defender at SG and Booker needs to pair with a strong defender as well - a 3&D PG, if such a...

    Jimmer just wasn't much of a playmaker and really not consistently that good a shooter

    Moving up scenarios

    I've lost track of that, too... or maybe there was no specific target from the outset. At #4 Doncic becomes a possibility but I suspect if he is available the Griz might well change their minds about making a deal. One thing I read was that were interested in trading down to where they'd grab...

    Hmmm... lucky to get #17. Throwing in both would net #18.

    Now its about #16, 31, and 59

    I would say that Booker and Young would both have to improve to be mediocre. Igor may make that happen but I'd say its a long shot. Futhermore, I think Trae cuts into Bookers game a fair amount. Granted we need better three point shooting next to Booker to keep the defense honest but another...

    I can't understand anyone purposefully putting Booker and Trae Young together. We may compare Book with Klay but if you're talking overall game instead of pure offense there is no comparison at all.

    I'd rather not get Young - IMO adding some significant devensive might in the back court is imperitive, and I'm not even convinced that Young and Booker mesh on offense. Doncic, on the other hand, if our coach and GM are over the moon on him, is a different story. Igor knows him inside and out...

    Suns pre-draft workouts

    Thanks for such a thorough write up Raze - and the work of digging it all up. I was concerned about his defense, and now I'm pretty convinced he passes muster. I'd rather have a guy that can smother his man - ala Jevon Carter - but you can't have everything you want in one player and Shawmet...

    Suns pre-draft workouts

    On this team you can if he's a good enough defender. I'm not saying Melton qualifies but Raze surely seems to think so. Many guys improve their shooting once in league - and sometimes dramatically - but guys improving their defense significantly is very rare. Often they get worse when going...

    will you guys stop talking about Brandon Knight as our PG... hearing his name makes me think of how great Payton is

    Suns pre-draft workouts

    Just watched the championship game and Divincenzo was indeed otherworldly. Made some great defensive plays along with his magical shooting but overall not great D, IMO. I can certainly see why somebody would want to draft him and if we draft him, I won't complain... players that clutch don't...

    Suns pre-draft workouts

    I watched a couple of his videos and saw very little of him on defense - he did make some good steals but that doesn't mean much. He's a good shooter and has a good handle - also creative around the basket so I like him on offense but I'm more concerned about defense for any backcourt player...

    Summer trades?

    Rozier is not at the top of my list for young PGs on other rosters and I don't think we'll be able to steal him from Ainge. Dinwiddie has done well as starter this year so he'll probably be prohibitively expensive. Toronto might be the only team that will willing part with one because they...

    My first impression of Shamet was terrible - I thought I was looking at Brandon Knight! They are a similar build and size. Of course, Brandon is not a terrible player... wouldn't be if his head was on straight, I should say. Shamet has better floor vision and passes better but the defensive...

    I certainly think this is the right direction to go. I was all for Colin Sexton with the same thought in mind but I cooled on him when somebody made the comparison to Bledsoe. I also watched a video and I didn't think he was better than Eric, I watched a video of Javon and while I wasn't as...

    If Williams returns to pre-injury form, he's better than Chandler on both ends of the floor, so don't overlook that small point. Davon Reed looked awful after he came back from injury but he looked very good in the summer league - bringing strong D and decent shooting on 3's. I'm not at all...

    I discovered how you do it. You click on the name of the person you want to ignore and when his profile page comes up, you have the option to ignore him. It works, too!
