You're right about him possibly becoming an All-NBA player. I'm not sure that Clarke doesn't develop a better jump shot quicker than Zion does. Have you seen the improvements he's made?Split T wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 2:16 pmI know, just think if Zion ends up an all-nba guy, it’d be silly to have taken a role player over him, regardless of how he fits. And Clarke needs a jump shot to be a great fit.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
Yes, Clarke has improved a lot, but Zion isn’t as broken of a shooter as some think. He ended up at 34% from 3. That’s good enough considering all that he brings to the table.In2ition wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 2:20 pmYou're right about him possibly becoming an All-NBA player.

I view Zion like Giannis...they’re different as Giannis is much longer, but Zion is more athletic. Zion will be a 4/5 like Giannis, that can play on the perimeter and abuse people down low. He also has similar defensive potential.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
And I do still have Clarke 3rd on my board for the record
Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
Clarke is the Marion of this draft, lol.

When I watch Zion play 2 words come to mind, “microfracture surgery”. I guess that’s the curse of being a Suns fan.

Yes, being a Suns fan takes all the joy out of their luck?

Is it crazy to think Garland would be the best PG in this draft (and best on our team if we took him)? Even as a rookie?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:49 pmNot considering any trades or FA signings, my three targets for #6.

It's impossible to have too many shooters and I think he has the best combination of size and shooting at the top of the draft.

It’s not crazy to think he would be our best point guard.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
That’s fair...he was just not good as a freshman. Hunter isn’t as dynamic a shooter, but he was very good in catch and shoot situations and will defend.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:54 pmHe doesn't scare me any more or less than guys like Culver, Hunter, Little, etc..Split T wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:51 pmReddish scares me...he could be really nice if he pans out though.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:49 pmNot considering any trades or FA signings, my three targets for #6.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
I think Garland has a ways to go to be a run the offense pg, but he’ll be a scorer right away. He can really shoot, which is nice.Indy wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:52 pmIs it crazy to think Garland would be the best PG in this draft (and best on our team if we took him)?

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
I'm not against Hunter even though I came away unimpressed most of the time I watched Virginia.

It would be great if a guy like Reddish is available at #6 because I definitely think at least one team drafting behind the Suns will love him. Then the Suns could move back a bit and still get a guy like Hunter while picking up another asset.
Swap 6 for 8 with Atlanta and pick up a future protected first rounder. Something like that.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Thread
I don’t think the Suns need to be drafting a swingman with serious motor concerns (Reddish). Doesn’t seem like a marriage that makes sense for either side.
