Re: NBA Finals discussion

LeBron in the finals was the best I've seen him play since he came back to Cleveland.

Steph going 6-19 didn't help.
You're right, it's unfair to blame ezeli, just seemed like a strange move. But they didn't really have any other options off the bench. Varejao and speights weren't any better.

Re: NBA Finals discussion

Wow, draymond and Iggy showed up and that was it for warriors. Give credit to Cleveland for their D on Steph and klay, but both just didn't have it tonight. Still could have won the game, but putting ezeli in was the back breaker. 6 points on back to back plays in that pick and roll with ezeli switc...

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #4?

I think Russell is more valuable than the 4th pick. Again, we'd absolutely have to move Knight if we made that trade and might as well move bledsoe too. Russell/Booker could be great offensively, but they'd get torched on D.

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #13?

I've heard mixed things on his knees, some teams don't think it's a problem at all. I'll trust our training staff to make that call. The defense is a real issue though. Especially since neither Booker or Warren are good defenders either.

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #13?

Denzel Valentine has fallen a bit, but I think he'd be my pick. Bembry or Luwawu as well I'd consider. For this poll, I'd go with Sabonis if he's there.

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #4?

Chriss, but I'd change my vote to hield if we could also trade Knight. I'm OK with bender too. I'd be very disappointed with brown or poeltl. I'd be disappointed with Murray or Dunn as well. Mostly because I think hield is better and we don't have room for gaurds. Skal and Sabonis I like, but not at...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

It's pretty simple really, Amare was a super athletic 4 that could shoot and block shots but struggled on defense and rebounding. Sounds a lot like Chriss to me. Chriss build is somewhere between Amare and Marion. Hmm, maybe a little revisionist history there. Amare did teach himself to shoot, but ...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

What if we don't trade the pick? Assuming for discussion that we will use the pick to draft someone who is going to be a rookie in a Suns uniform this season, whom would you pick? Hield. And if not Hield, Skal. Why Skal? I'm not opposed to him, but I wouldn't take him at 4. He's talented, but playe...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

He's not big or powerful like amare, doesn't rebound or defend like Marion, yet draws nonsensical comparisons to both. I will be sad as fuck if we draft him at 4. It's pretty simple really, amare was a super athletic 4 that could shoot and block shots but struggled on defense and rebounding. Sounds...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

He's a combination of Marvin Williams and Tristan Thompson. Pass. He's a much better athlete than either of them You're right, but I think he still is a player in that mold. Throw Stromile Swift, Hakim Warrick, and Brandan Wright in that amalgam too. Could be, most other years I'd think he'd be mor...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

I realize highlight videos can be misleading and I agree that Chriss has some real weaknesses, but this shows what he's capable of. He moves really well, finishes easily above the rim, has that quick Marion like second jump and has a nice jump shot. Even looks skilled in the post. Anyone we could ta...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

:oops: Chad Ford said on AZ radio today that the Suns should take Chriss over Bender if both are available at 4. He said Chriss is more of a project but has better upside. Compared him to Amare and Marion. why does inf hate chriss then? There doesn't seem to be much love for Chriss on this board at ...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

The only thing that gives me pause in regards to draft Hield is that I don't know how often you would be able to field an effective lineup with both he and Booker on the court together. True, hield is pretty locked into the 2 position. Booker would have to slide to the 3 for half his minutes. You'd...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

Thanks for the input on Hield. There is something about his demeanor that makes him stand out more than the other 3-9 guys for sure. I wouldn't be disappointed if we picked him at all. I think you take the guy you think is most likely to be a really good player, position be damned. All it takes is ...

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

That's a great trade for the Celtics. I love Jimmy Butler, if we were closer to contention I'd offer knight + #4. Actually, I'd still make that trade. Not sure it tops 3 + Bradley though.

Re: NBA Draft Prospects Discussion

I see Hield being a top 5 shooter in the NBA. I think he could be in the Thompson-Reddick group as a shooter, he's very special.
