Re: 2018 NBA Draft Lottery

Isn't that what you can expect from such a young player against veterans? It'll come as he gets older, he isn't shy nor afraid of contact. He's no Zarko.

Re: With the FIRST pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Phoenix Suns select...

Been a long time since I haven't been a forum admin. As a guildmaster I was dealing with a lot of spam too. I don't know if there's an option for making people automatically invisible to everybody but the mods. Then when they post something not spam, they can gain full visibility. At the time it did...

Shouldn’t he be real certain by draft time? Seems dumb to be so wishy washy this close to the draft. His current team is still in the playoffs and is playing in the Final Four tomorrow. I don't think it's wishy washy for him to verbally reinforce his love for his current team in the middle of the p...

Yes, but then who guards Booker's man?
Good question :lol:
That's why we need better team defense. Like in soccer, preseason camp will be crucial to get automatism.

Re: Who would you pick if we (OGW-willing) landed #1?

Matrix often defended opposite PG in the Nash days. Could Jackson do the same if Doncic can't? He did? Matrix was much more known for defending guys bigger than him. We had Raja for whichever guard was better. Maybe my perception is wrong since I wasn't able to watch a lot of games at the time. I r...

I think he's a 3.
But he shared PG duties with Dragic for Slovenia (seems he's not annoyed to play in a dual pg system anymore)

Re: Who would you pick if we (OGW-willing) landed #1?

So many games are won today at the three point line it is hard not to go with Doncic. Some say he is not a great three point shooter. Josh Jackson has not been a great three point shooter. Well Devin Booker is a great three point shooter and will get better with the addition of Doncic and the the i...

And here’s a source that says “Fawn Fleet”: https://forvo.com/word/vincent_van_vliet/ And another: http://www.heardutchhere.net/dureq.html Maybe that's because I'm used to Dutch, when listening to the first link, I hear a "v" ^^ That's really good dutch pronounciation btw (belgian accent ...

The app is far from perfect. When I use it it says something like "van vleetje".
I know some traduction app require to download a specific voice for a langage. Its more accurate.

Re: 2018 Suns Offseason News

Van Vleet comes from Van Vliet, which is either from the Netherlands or Belgium. i Thanks. So, Dutch. And plugging it into my handy-dandy Google Translate app... sounds like the N is silent. More like “Faw Fleet” than “Fawn Fleet.” The dutch pronounciation would be "van" (like a van) &quo...

Re: Who would you pick if we (OGW-willing) landed #1?

Doncic.

My only fear was the Dragic connection but seems that's not a problem anymore.
This guy is special, he is a winner, he is a basketball player.
The question is : could we sign a FA with his skillset? Or Ayton's?

Re: Suns Coach 2018-19

While we are getting giddy about Budenholzer and some of the other names being thrown out there, I feel the need to correct some revisionist history. When RYAN MCDONOUGH was hired, he was considered the best up-and-coming GM candidate in the league, after having apprenticed under Ainge. He was supp...
