I also like Herro. I feel like he's going to be taken much earlier than most are expecting, or he'll go in the late first round and look like a steal for that team in a year from now.
Yeah, but who wants to watch a bunch of Herro ball?
Alright, now that that's out of the way, can we all agree to never make that obvious joke again for the rest of Tyler Herro's career? 8-)
:D That’s up to Tyler.

Why? I didn't think you were a fan. Did something change recently?

No that wasn't me. I haven't really backed anyone but White's been growing on me. I think he's got homerun ability. Hope he's there.

White has grown on me recently and I'd prefer him over Garland at this point.

I like his size and I think he reminds me of Fox and Barbosa, for better and worse.

It just seems like the more the reports come out that he is who we are taking, more and more people come out saying that is who they want. Seems very circular to me.

I’ve come around a bit on White, but I’d still prefer Culver or Garland

My top three as of now:

1. Culver - I think he's probably the best all-around player outside of the top three in the draft. I also think a backcourt with him and Booker would work out in the long term, but I'd really need to see the Suns go after a veteran starter like Beverley.

2. Clarke - He's the best big man athlete not named Zion and I think he complements Ayton well. He's shown a high basketball IQ and I can see him becoming a Draymond Green or Al Horford type of player at his peak.

3. White/Hunter - Both guys who fill a position of need, but not in an ideal way. Hunter is a bit undersized to play a lot of minutes at the 4, and White is more of a 2 who will be expected to be a 1. I think they'll both be solid players and would be very surprised if either is complete bust.

I've moved off of Garland because I just think he's too much of a risk for the Suns to take right now. They need to start pushing for the playoffs and bringing in a guy who we've seen so little of scares the hell out of me. Not to mention that he's fairly undersized and likely the worst defender among the players being considered at 6.

I know everyone has a story, but that is a lot to take in.

Which they will promptly blow on Julius Randle.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

Despite all these Coby White rumors, I'd bet on the Suns trading the pick before them selecting a player with it.

If they're willing to trade TJ and JJ for essentially cap space to sign a FA guard, it doesn't make sense to draft White.

Randle will be a horrible fit next to Ayton.

And it doesn't seem like there are any takers for Jackson or Warren.

How would you have any idea if there are takers for Jackson and Warren?

Agreed. I am glad people are coming around on Coby. He could be our Fox. He has that kind of straight line speed and already has a jumper. Not nearly as cerebral or as instinctual though.
Go Suns!

I'm still for picking Clarke. If they get another pick and dump TJ and Josh, you could go BPA and then Cheatham at 32. I really think he's going to surprise people and be in the league a long time.

Blake is a really good fit here. He kinda solves a lot of problems.
He is a really low percentage player that turns it over a little too much. No thanks.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I really like this kid:

I don't see it. He isn't a good enough shooter to make it on his jumper; he doesn't have the physical tools to score one on one at the pro level, and he isn't a good enough playmaker/ball-handler to make it as a tall 1.
