I didn't realize Milton was so good at 3s... At least from his college numbers
College numbers? He’s hitting .500 from 3 in the NBA!

Hey, if we’re “batting a thousand” drafting 9th... It’s the same sample size.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind another 6-6 SG that can create for others while being a pretty good shooter. Can he play defense?

Ya, I was a fan coming out of college. He hasn’t impressed much since then though. Very consistent shooter from deep on lots of attempts though in college. I think he’ll at least shoot in the nba.

That's a crazy deal for us if that's how it works out.

I think Fultz is a waste. I honestly would prefer Exum.

Agreed. If you have teams vying for Ariza’s services, get a player who isn’t a total question mark.

Let's put it this way. Fultz has more of a chance of improving our team than Ariza does.

His rookie contract is a lot of salary to take on, and mentally he is a wreck. I value the cap space more than I do taking a chance on Fultz's potential (which isn't even that intriguing IMO).

The contract is pretty big and his head could be an issue. But I disagree on the potential part. There is a reason he was pretty unanimously the #1 prospect before the draft. He’s big(6’4), athletic, can get anywhere on the court, and could shoot anywhere on the court. He’s not Nash, but he’s a legitimate point guard. If this thoracic outlet syndrome is legit, he’s well worth the risk.

I was intrigued by exum at one point, but his contract is also not pretty for a complete project. He can defend and he’s athletic, but he’s not a pg and he can’t shoot.

Exum's passing is pretty good. Honestly, I would rather have neither. But if I had to choose between the two, I would choose Exum.

That’s fair. Both would be risks as they take up 9ish million next year. Maybe I’m too much of an optimistic and just think the idea of Fultz redeeming himself is a good story, but I do think he ends up being a good basketball player.

Fultz is more interesting, but I’d also prefer something like Ariza for collison.

I've said it before and I maintain it. I don't want Fultz, even for free. This franchise is enough of a circus already. Just give me that LAL pick and call it a day so I can trade for Dinwiddie in peace.

It’s not going to make you shoot FTs like a juggler. He’s a nut job.

I was a big Fultz guy pre-draft, but I'm inclined to agree with this.

Even if Fultz can eventually get better and become a productive NBA player, this is not the place for it. This team has no mentorship and no role models for him. The current Suns franchise has shown no ability whatsoever to be able to handle a delicate personal situation like his.

On the other hand... no pressure!

Anyone want to guess who the eight teams are?
