I'm not saying I'd pass on him or he wouldn't fit, just that need to build a team going forward and not miss on draft picks. As high as we drafted Jackson and as much as TJ's an effective scorer, Bridges could be the guy we need next to Booker and on the perimeter from Ayton.

He tore his ACL and MCL las week. We'll see how he recovers. I loved him last draft.

If someone has a questionable shot, I flat out do not want them. The Suns shouldn’t even consider any player who is deemed a bad defender or who can’t shoot. Those need to be absolute requirements for any one they put around Book/Ayton

I did not know that. I hope the kid recovers well, because he has a bright future. I guess it's good that he didn't rely too heavily on his athleticism.

If Zion can shoot, then he could in theory be the PF to put next to Ayton.

Ayton can shoot and has been very good in the high post. I wonder if Ayton/Williamson could be a more athletic Vlade/Webber.

Al Williamson? Albert Williamson? Alexander Williamson? Alf Williamson?

I get the feeling it’s going to be the last one I guess. Funny how that always works.

JJ will be better than KP when all is said and done [in 2020]. Mark it. — AIG, with Indy betting against
Just saw this... unfortunately this doesn't look close, 14 months out.

He apparently doesn't have an outside shot, so ... crazy athleticism is nice, and I'm sure Zion is much more of a specimen, but last I checked the Manimal had to be salary dumped and is barely hanging on to a rotation spot in Brooklyn.

KP = Kentavious (Caldwell) Pope? If so, maybe....

Porzingis. And KCP is a better player than JJ, too.

Zion's ferocity would mesh really well with Ayton's low key and Booker's alpha personalities. Even Warren would be a cool ninja fourth wheel.

This is hard but it is true. Jackson being abysmal to the point that it makes sense to remove him from the rotation entirely. Last season it was done and it seemed to have an effect.
