They got a wide open 3 on the play and knocked it down.

Pretty impressive when a guy is getting that kind of attention and still dominates.

Is Tacko Fall good enough to make an NBA roster?

I think so. He looks like a more agile Boban to me.

I would think Fall is skilled enough and so big (7'6"!) that someone will take a chance on him - whether he's mobile enough to actually contribute is the issue.

Boban isn’t mobile and he can still contribute.

I think Tacko could be a end of the bench guy that helps Ayton learn how to attack big guys.

Not a ranking of all prospects, but here’s my current list of guys I’m interested in for the suns:

Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, DeAndre Hunter, Jarrett Culver, Brandon Clarke, PJ Washington, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Bol Bol, Darius Garland, Cameron Johnson, Talen Horton-Tucker

I cant envision a scenario where I’d draft RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Nasir Little, Romeo Langford. They will all go to high and I’ll surely have someone on my board still available that I think is better.

For me it’s Zion Morant or yawn, trade it

I think I’d prefer a trade as well, if the value is there. It’s easy to say trade it, but if no one is offering decent value, we might just have to pick the BPA. If we don’t land 1 or 2, I’d be in favor of moving down to mid late lotto, picking up a vet and still coming away with one of the prospects on my list.

I'm sure by the time the draft rolls around we'll have fallen in love with 4-5 various players and will want to use the pick to draft somebody.

We might talk ourselves into someone...if we don’t land top 2, but I doubt people will be falling in love with prospects outside of a very small few.

If you can turn a package including the third pick in the draft into Kemba, Russell, Holiday, etc., I would trade it


On the other hand, if a team like the Hawks got the second pick and we ended up something like fourth, I wouldn’t hesitate to package the fourth and assets (Josh Jackson plus a second round pick) to move up and grab Morant.

Can't we just sign Kemba outright? Or would we not be able to have enough cap space? I guess we'd have to waive Johnson, which might be too much $ for Saver to absorb.

I don’t remember the board really falling in love with anyone the last couple of times we had #4.
