I just remember Lebron winning the Championship last year on supposedly the defensive play of the year. Ask Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajawon, Bill Walton, etc.

I get it, put the ball in the hole more than your opponent you win. However teams like Michael Jordan's, etc. got their key stops to win, too!

well we pickin #4

so you got options

A lights out 7 foot shootah

or the common #4 overall NBA draft nobody

I am wondering to get that 7 foot shootah, if we could swap spots with a lower team, get our shootah, and pick up a pick for this year or next?

Serious? You should have a vacation for this.

I really believe that right now you are seeing years of frustration pouring out of Suns fans. We give a 24 hour window for frustration after a loss on the Cardinals board. I think this deserves the same treatment.

You can be taught D. You are born with a stroke. He got it

Bender is supposed to be this guy. He may never be but it is super unlikely we draft the same skill set one year later.

I really think Bender has better D, but that kid can shoot. Maybe we just keep bringing in 7 footers until all 5 positions are 7 foot?

Wrong Defense is pretty much effort if he ain't giving effort now then he probably never will however shooting you can teach and get better all day.

We already have Bender no need to draft a 7 footer who hangs out at the 3 point line again

I can see both guys have strengths. Seriously Bender has phenomenal footwork for a 7 footer. He will progress on D, I have no doubt. His offense is slow to evolve to the NBA. Laurie is a very good shooter. He is lost on D sometimes. He doesn't think that side of the ball yet. Let's say for the sake of the argument the Suns have both on the team and they both pan out. How good would that be?

Shaggy... on the rare night as beyond awful as tonight is, this board has ALWAYS been a little hands off letting people just vent in the face of complete and utter BS.

We don't get screwed on others picks...just our own. That's how we get around the basketball gods.
That's not true. The year we needed Atlanta to come up 4 they get 3 and horford and we don't get the pick that would've been Noah, who would've been a great compliment to Amare.

50 years of coin flips, lottery slaps in the face, NBA Commissioners rigging playoffs against us, I am tired as a fan. Tired, ugh.

That doesn't make sense, Boston traded for Brooklyn's pick, it's not like it was their own pick that won the lottery. It was the pick of the worst team in the league.



I like Jackson, Fox, and Tatum, in that order.

Jackson is the best case scenario but not good enough to part with any of our core players to move up a spot or two to guarantee we get him.

Fox seems like he could be a good player who I wouldn't have minded so much if we fell to #5 but I'm not excited about getting him at #4.

I like Tatum but we have Warren and I think keeping both is redundant.


I wouldn't be surprised if Philly traded with Boston or LA, they don't need Jackson. They have Simmons, Saric, and Embiid. Surprised no one has mentioned Saric in their front court considering he was arguably the best rookie in the league after Embiid went down.
Dario is the ultimate front court swing player. Master of none but can fill-in any of the front three for minutes. He's not a guy you base your pick on. Colangelos won't make the mistake of taking a less talented player.

We haven't gone full up racial slurs, or anything yet. So I think we are good! LOL!

I am on my SECOND LARGE Margarita, btw. Somehow I am taking this lottery slight like a lost Superbowl, or Danny Ainge getting caught in no man's land against the Bulls.
