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.
Not sure if I'm happy or sad JJ is no longer being included in that sentence.

It's sad. At least he looked a little better tonight. Wasn't asked to do too much.

Should have some free content according to the tweet
I really like Eric Paschall, but I was shocked to see him as a potential lotto pick.

Am I crazy to think that he and Ayton could actually be a really effective tandem?

I keep questioning myself for thinking the same thing.

That would be cool. Let's buck the small-ball trend and make other teams adjust to us!

Gotta figure we’re going to be drafting top 5. Is he a consideration that high?

Bol Bol has legit skills, but unfortunately a very questionable motor.

He's a good shot blocker and rim protector with his 7'8" wingspan, but can get pushed around and the motor...

I would say his closest comp is Porzingis. Good handle, good shooter with range, can go inside, decent athlete, soft touch around the basket, good bballiq. If the plan is to develop Ayton as a center and not let him drive or shoot from the 3 this year, they might open that up next year if Bol is the pick and then they could alternate occasionally if need be where mostly Bol is playing on the perimeter and Ayton inside, but then switch it up when creating mismatches. That is a big "if" the Suns select him or have the chance to select him.

Whaaaaat about, Nassir Little playing the 4? Now that's something I could get behind.

Best believe I'll have some takes on Bol Bol this year.
