Overnights in Alaska are six months long.

Overnights for the Suns are over a decade . . . and still counting.

Now that we had a successful bubble performance, expectations
are increasing.

I hope that management doesn't say, "You can't perfect a roster
overnight."

We want to finally see steady progress The biggest priority is a
Power Forward to take pressure off Ayton. Assuming that he
will be available to play.

Yes, that is sarcasm and I dislike sarcasm. But I dislike even
more a bubble-headed #1 draft pick who disappoints us
Where in AK are nights 6 months? :)

OK. I exaggerated. :cool:

I remember a song back in the '50's,

I'm gonna get you some night in Alaska
Where nights are six months long.

I visited Anchorage and Denali when
most of the 24 hours were daylight.

Right Now I want a shot blocking rebounder for a big. When Ayton gets into foul trouble, it is problems for our squad.

Enter: Jalen!

I selected Okoro and Williams and they both went much higher than 10!

They need someone who can rebound and play defense WITH Ayton. Relying on Ayton to take care of the interior by himself is in part what is causing him to get into foul trouble and is stunting the development of his offensive game.

JALEN!

Surprise
I had Smith and Achiuwa.... I still contend that Smith was not really a reach. I had him #11 on the Suns board and he went #10. The shock was that he was taken with Haliburton and Vassell still available (who I had #2 and #9 on Suns board). But he was clearly the best big available and clearly Jones wanted a big.

I started out liking Jalen Smith and Precious Achiuwa in August and I still like them.

The Heat got a steal drafting Achiuwa at 20. They needed more strength and size on their front line. He should help them a lot.

I like Smith more than Precious. I still would have taken Haliburton or Vassell. I will say this though. I do think that Smith looks like a good player based upon the Tankathon bubbles. That is promising. The fact that his team looks for him to contribute immediately and does not consider him a long term contract bodes well for his development.

I was thinking that, but not sure if I wanted to say it. Definitely like him more than Williams. Williams is more of a long term project (think Marquese Chriss). Okongwu is a more dynamic athlete than Smith so I might have preferred him.

In a year or two, absolutely. I just hope they don't expect too much of him too soon. Long term, I think he is potentially the ideal compliment to Ayton. We just need a stop-gap to take the bulk of the minutes in the meantime and to teach Jalen how it's done in the NBA.

According to Flex (take from it what you will) the Suns were hoping Deni would fall to #10. That’s a tough blow he would’ve been perfect.

I actually like Smith for the Suns more than Deni.
