Awesome, 4th pick in the draft to be a system player.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 11:00 pmHe’s a system’s player. You put the guy on a team that gives him a role of slashing and defending, then he’s a real player. If you let him just run around without a solid offense or just have him create for himself, then this is what you get.

It’s better than 4th pick in the draft to not even have their 4th year option picked up

To be successful as a team you need a culture that grows and develops players. Not just roll out rookies and let them lay waste to the franchise with empty stats while piling up losses.
People act like Bookers assist numbers mean a whole lot. For a franchise with a history of great point guards, it’s fans sure as sh!t have little insight into the value of a point guard who makes everyone around him better.

Looking at all the very young prospects they drafted (or traded for) over the last few years (Booker [13th pick], Warren [14th], Len [5th], Bender [4th], Chriss [8th], Jackson [4th], Ayton [1st], Bridges [10th], Okobo [31st], Melton [46th]) the Suns have either been (A) negligent in developing most of these players, (B) bad at developing most of these young players or (C) bad at acquiring young players with talent.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:11 amTo be successful as a team you need a culture that grows and develops players.

Three of them[Booker, Warren and Ayton] are probably good enough to be rotation players on a playoff team. Bridges is promising. All the rest are even unproven or disappointing. 3 of the 4 players they've taken in the top 5 picks have been flops or at best disappointing.
So I guess firing the GM and scouts responsible for making those decision is justified, but firing them without a plan in place to replace them is just bad management. Which of course is what we normally expect from this team nowadays.

The bar’s at the corner of Hayden and Via de Ventura. First round’s on me.
