Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
I'm seeing that we brought in Semi Ojeleye for a workout today so finally got around to taking a look at him on Youtube. Others have mentioned it before but it just seems we are gonna have logjams at positions don't matter how we draft, minutes breakdown will be interesting.
This is also from earlier today. Know how everyone loves to hear these words

I personally would totally tune him out and ignore him.djy2j wrote:Not going to be super thrilled or super disappointed with who we get unless it's Jackson. I will be thrilled. The rest I'll take a wait and see approach. If we take Ball I am curious as to how you think the team will react if/when Lavar criticizes one of Lonzo's teammates? What if he criticizes Booker or what if he says something like "Eric Bledsoe isn't the future of the team so why is he getting more mins?"
Just see him as such a loose cannon that it would be inevitable he criticize a teammate of Lonzo's. I would be way more on board with Lonzo if his dad wasn't such a s*** show.

I'm cooling on Jackson.

McDonough has been in hiding. He is deep down in the draft bunker. Thursday can't get here soon enough.

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
so the latest report is the Lakers will Ball, after all
that's good enough for me. i'll accept that they were Ball-busting all along and move on

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
True, I was never that high on him but talked myself into him at 4. But if what Kyler said is true about him measuring shorter than listed, not shooting well...I just have a bad feeling. I always say swingmen are a dime a dozen and too many have gone too high and either been busts or just mediocre. I just see that with Jackson.
Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
Gambo saying we'll choose between Fox and Tatum if Jackson and Ball are gone. Also said there is a dream scenario where we end up with Fox and Isaac.
I feel like Fox is a smokescreen to get Sacramento to offer us something for 4. I can't imagine we would draft Fox with Bledsoe here. I guess we could draft Fox 4, then trade Bled and Warren for 5 and draft Isaac/Tatum.

Tatum has just moved to #3 in draftexpress mock which would suggest everything about Boston liking him there is true.

If we somehow came out of it with Fox and Issac/Tatum.....wow. Talk about a YOUNG CORE. That would be ridiculously young.

Good insights on McD's plans. Doesn't really give anything away, but a good read.
I'd look at the guys we brought in today for our workout as good bets to be our pick at 32
Semi Ojeyle, Sterling Brown, Josh Hart, Davon Reed, VJ Beachem, Dillon Brooks

Josh Hart again??? That's the 4th time I believe we've seen him

I'm really interested in Chris Boucher if he's still around at #54 and we still have that pick. He probably would've been a mid-first rounder had he not blown out his knee in the Pac-12 Tournament. AFAIK, it was a pretty standard procedure, and I haven't heard of any set backs.

3rd time for Hart. Twice in Phoenix and we attended his pro day
Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
I've read that he will go undrafted and doesn't project to be much of a player in the NBA. I think he may go undrafted and wouldn't mind taking a flier on him or checking him out in summer league.Flagrant Fowl wrote:I'm really interested in Chris Boucher if he's still around at #54 and we still have that pick.

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
I think it's likely he goes undrafted now, but I think he can definitely have a shot in the NBA. He's never going to be a great player, but he can be a good 9th-10th man off the bench in the next couple of years. He's a great rim protector and he can shoot it better than most players his size.In2ition wrote:I've read that he will go undrafted and doesn't project to be much of a player in the NBA.

Iwundu is definitely intriguing and underrated. Robinson looks the part, but his college production is very underwhelming. He is definitely a good target in the second round.Split T wrote:Y
Smith is another guy he has way higher than I would put him. I do like that he's got Justin Jackson(UM), Jordan Bell, Wesley Iwundu, and Devin Robinson in the first round. I think all those guys are very underrated prospects.
