imagine the milos to ayton lobs!
I'd rather imagine Young to Ayton lobs. Milos isn't quite the shooter and is 20 years older.

But why do we have to choose? We can have both, and a couple of years splitting the load, would do wonders for the players and the team.

Question for the board. If Ayton is our pick, is it worth keeping Chandler around for another year to mentor him?
Seeing the "mentoring" he did with Len, not sure if this is the best idea.

It would be stupid to give up any kind of decent asset to trade for a 31 year old point guard coming off an injury ridden rookie season in the last year of his contract.

The smart move would be to try to sign him next summer if the Suns really want him.

Yes, Milos can pass, but calling Trae a chucker is a clear sign you know very little about him. He did have the greenest of green lights. He also led the NCAA in assists with more than Lonzo had the year before.

You're right, Westbrook did, but comparing Trae to Westbrook would be a mistake. Honestly, if you watched him play much, he is a mix of Steve Nash and Steph Curry and no where near a Westbrook type. Who wouldn't like that on your team?

This x 100. Trae is an unselfish player. He is a better passer than shooter.

That's more out of necessity than actual style. I'm not a huge Trae fan, but his lack of good teammates forced him to play differently than he's going to in the NBA.

And practically the size of Tyler Ulis. Why does McDonough like drafting runts for a PG?

He's going to have issues getting pushed around in the nba and I see no elite athleticism nor elite ball handling to help him. I'm not really interested in Trae Young.

He's an inch shorter than Nash or Curry. I'd hardly call him the size of Ulis.

He doesn't need elite athleticism. Did Nash or Curry have it? He does have elite ball handling. Not being interested in him is your prerogative, but it's short-sighted in my view.

If only it were that simple. If Young can't defend, can't limit his turnovers, and is a low percentage shooter at the NBA level, then it becomes very easy to not "like that on your team."

In2 is right on these points. Young's athleticism and ball-handling are non-issues.
