NBA Draft 7-29-2021: Suns select?

[Mainstreet]

I really like Shai and wish there was a way we could get him. I know its an unpopular opinion but I'd offer Ayton for him, especially if Paul bolts. I don't see Paul leaving and I know the Suns wouldn't do that deal so its just a pipe dream that I know someone here will take exception to but Shai is legit. I can see him as a future All-NBA guard within 2-3 years.

Suns can't do that trade unless they get something else and you may remember how much I like Shai.

I like SGA too but no way would I trade Ayton for anyone other than a quality big man. And there are very few of them that I would consider.

You can't trade a legit big man for a guard. No way. It's much easier to find a legit guard in the draft than a legit big man unless you are drafting at the top of the lottery.

Suns have traded 29th pick and Jevon Carter for Landry Shamet.

I hope the Suns buy a second round pick.

Monty has been a fan of Shamet.

Here are some stats on Shamet who is a shooting guard.

It looks like the Suns essentially swapped Carter for Shamet as he is owed $3,768,342 this season and is a RFA next season.

This seems like highway robbery. Not that Shamet is a barn burner but he can contribute RIGHT NOW. He is a better shooter than Carter. Unlike Carter Shamet should compete right away for minutes IMO. He can handle the basketball and played backup PG at times. This also tells me the Suns might not be looking guard at all either in the draft or 2nd trade.

Hoping we can pick up a pick. I'd love to get Queta or Bassey as a project big and grab a legit backup 4/5 in FA.

I hope the Suns surprise me and buy a pick but I doubt it. It's probably time to check out those who will be UDFAs.

If people are saying #29 would not have earned playing time, why in the world would a UDFA?

A UDFA can be put on a two way contract and not take up the roster spot.

I'm not one of those saying it about #29.

As you know UDFAs can make teams. See the Miami Heat.

Ty-Shon Alexander only cost the Suns $449,115 last season.

Nobody is saying could not. People are saying it's highly unlikely.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe the Suns can sign Sandro Mamukelashvili if he goes un-drafted.

There are also some other big men prospects that may slide out of the draft.

I really like his court vision.

Jericho Sims is another big man that is worth a look if not drafted.

This has to be the quietest draft day on ASFN in a very long time. Definitely in the last decade.

It all seems like a waste of time preparing for the draft.

 

[Finito]

Perk is horrible

he brings nothing to the table he doesn’t know who half these guys are and no real insight

 

[Proximo]

It all seems like a waste of time preparing for the draft.

I didn't bother because I knew Jones would get rid of the pick.

I'm remember you saying it. I will think twice before investing time studying the draft again.

 

[Folster]

Of course Mac McClung signs with the Lakers.
