#4 it is

[mojorizen7]

Okay yeah i'm updating my Suns little board.

1. Fultz
2. Jackson
3. Fox
4. Ball


I foresee this:

1. Boston-Fultz
2. LA-Ball
3. Philly-Jackson
4. Suns-Tatum*

*I'd take Fox here and be happy but would also explore a trade down, drop a few slots and target someone like Ntilikina, Ferguson or Smith Jr.

Trade Bledsoe. Pair one of these PG's with Booker, continue to develop Ulis.

Stay away from the tall, skinny, soft, jump shooting Euros, please. We already drafted Len and Bender. Develop them or cut bait.

Find a way to add Adebayo in a trade down scenario. He's a bargain rim protector in the bottom of the first rd IMO.

One thing that I've noticed is that almost every fan base in the top 6 is hoping their teams pass on Tatum.

Nobody wants that iso scorer anymore because the NBA isn't about that anymore. It's a ball movement game now.

Tatum is a black hole. His best comparison so far has been a less athletic Rudy Gay and I don't know about you guys but even Rudy Gay in his prime at his very best wasn't worth a top 5 pick for me.

The Suns were already one of the worst assist teams in the league last season and Tatum would make that even worse.

I'll pass easily. I wouldn't draft Tatum if the Suns traded down to #10 and he was still available there.

I don't have my mind made up, one way of the other, on Tatum. I'd imagine that we will work him out and we'll probably put him up against someone from this class that has the quickness and size to defend 3's. If he can do his thing against NBA caliber 3's, he would be a great pick at 4 (or 2, even). If he's just the third Morris brother, then pass.

That's another thing, most draft sites have him as a 4 and that simply won't work in the NBA. I realize that being a 4 in college worked for him since he's quicker than most PFs in college but he will get eaten up alive in the nba playing the 4. Opposing PFs would take turns scoring on the 6'8 Tatum and he wouldn't even have much of a quickness advantage against NBA PFs.

I'm not sure he's at all capable of even playing the 3.

Funny how the team with the smallest market gets the lowest of the top 4 picks.

As always

You're going to have to enlighten me - afaict, Tatum is a baller. You're saying that because he doesn't pass he's no good?
