One of my favorite annual traditions...The NBA Draft Stage Height Eye Test!

I remember seeing Porzingis standing next to Okafor and Towns and putting his height into perspective for the first time.

First looks are promising for Ayton. :)

I wish Porter didn't tilt his head. LOL

if they announce a Suns' trade before pick #2 or #3 it will surely include Josh Jackson

Josh Jackson will be better than Doncic quote me on that in 3 years.

I don't think so.

I just don't see Jackson fixing his jumper sufficiently.

I think if we could get doncic for like Jackson, 16, and Milwaukee I would do it.

That is the stuff nightmares are made out of.

Jackson does not need to be a perfect player to be better than Doncic.

Definitely a better option than Holliday.

So is Hueter IMO. Well so are about 15 guys IMO, I don't want Holliday.

But it looks like there is an outside chance Miles Bridges will be there if Zaier Smith and Jerome Robinson go before 16.

Really I think either Bridges or Zaier Smith might make it to 16 - and those should be our first 2 options if we don't move up

@ColdPickleNachos

If the Suns are looking at Donte it could mean they have not been successful in moving up.

Maybe...It's always smart to have a back-up plan. Remember the Curry Amare trade? Rumor was the Suns liked Jrue Holiday at 14 but picked Earl Clark because they already got Curry in their minds.

i've always believed in Jackson even when he was struggling. but his form has to be fixed and considering Doncic's skill set, i'd have to do it

The idea of trading Jackson is terrible.... and stupid. Personally I wouldn't trade him straight up for #2.

Can Donte play the 1, or are we looking at him as a scorer off the bench?

I didn't feel good about the Clark selection so it's good to have a backup plan.
