3 games SDC, I wouldn't start drawing any conclusions off 3 games of data
what did i tell you about josh jackson last year?
I'm not questioning whether poor ft shooting is a bad sign, I'm questioning whether 3 games is an adequate sample size to determine if RJ is a bad ft shooter. I could probably find a 3 game sample where Curry or Nash shot 59% from the ft line.
stop being rational

Ja Morant coming on strong. Dropped a triple double of 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Also, look out for Sagaba Konate. He has added a 3-point shot. If it sticks, he might be a tremendous fit next to Ayton. I worry about his athleticism and lateral movement though.

Yes, Ja has been good and is someone to really keep an eye on. Super athletic, decent vision, good defender, just needs to show an improved jumper.

Sagaba Konate was impressive last year with his shot blocking and rebounding. He couldn't shoot though, so it's nice to see him add a 3-point shot.

10 turnovers for Morant against Alabama. Ugh.

Are you going rant more about Morant?

A guy I was excited about last year, Nickiel Alexander-Walker, is having a good start to the season. He ended up playing an off ball spot up role last year, but they’re letting him handle the ball this year. He’s not a traditional pg, but he’s showing he can run the offense a bit. He’s 6’6 and putting up 19.6/5.4/4.4 with 2.4 steals and shooting .54/.40/.92

I’ll have to watch some Ja Morant. I also love Deandre Hunter and think he’s my top guy right now. This is assuming we don’t land top 5, which very well could happen. Just don’t want to get too invested in getting a high pick. I actually want to see us win games.

Admiral Schofield and Grant Williams are exactly the type of players the Suns need.

For the record, I don't want the Suns to draft Bol Bol. He's crazy long an has a very good outside game for a guy of his height, but the kid really lacks a motor. Another complacent young player is the last thing this team needs.

You know he's going to be drafted by Atlanta. He's tailor made for them.

I really don't think we're going to get the #1 pick this year.

Like I said, or bust!

We'll have the best shot at it but yeah, the odds are flatter than ever. We'll need some luck. Let's not count on it though, mmm k? (I'm talking to you James Jones.)

I don’t think we’ll actually end up with the highest odds. My guess is we eventually pass Atlanta, Cleveland, and Chicago. Possibly New York if they throw in the towel.

I think trading down is the best option. I don't think the lottery has a lot of high end talent, but I think you are going to see several Kyle Kuzma level prospects emerge in the 12-22 range.

Grant Williams could be the glue guy the Suns need to build a winning dynamic on the court.

Makes sense. If we don’t land #1, I’d consider moving down. Even at #2, I’d move that if someone really loved Barrett and made a big offer.

I don't know about that, ill. I really don't know if does anything for this team.

And I don't get the lack of motor critiques about Bol Bol. He has looked good to me.
