Danny Wolf. That guy looks like Larry Bird and plays like Nikola Jokić, sort of.

Ah, good old draft. Here we are, after two consecutive depressing seasons we are exciting to see who our beloved Suns will take.

Is there a prospect who plays like Amare, maybe?

I could see us drafting Ace Bailey if he falls to us
He'll go in the top 5.

Let's go, baby! Get us somebody good! I'm counting on this upcoming season being a breath of fresh air for us after what we had to endure the last two years. I don't care if they lose every game if they play hard and play the right way. It will actually be fun to watch the new talent develop along with our 2nd year guys.

Sorber's my guy and I'm sticking with him.

Either a starting 5 or backup 5? :lol:

Do we take Ace Bailey if he falls? Someone always falls.

I also can't get a good feel for Derik Queen and how he fits in the modern NBA.

His size and length at the guard position is very intriguing, but the way he and his agent are playing games with workouts, it gives me Josh Jackson vibes.

It would be absolutely hilarious in terms of optics to add another SG to the roster.

I think Ace Bailey has to go to a strong organization to have a chance at capitalizing on his potential. I don't think this is the place for an immature kid getting bad advice goes to thrive.

Demin is probably too much of a risk at #10. Khaman Maluach is probably my preferred choice right now.
I think Maluach is just as big of a risk. I think he is more journeyman big than foundational defensive anchor.

Whom would you choose? The other center at 10 has foot problems and that is a big no no for me.

Trade down, perhaps, for 2 x #1s?

Carter Bryant, Danny Wolf, or Thomas Sorber.

I think Bryant could be a superstar, Wolf could be an elite role player, and Sorber could be baby KG.

Thoughts on Collin Murray- Boyles? My gut feeling thinks it’s between him and Carter Bryant at 10.

I don't think a trade down to ~14 is the worst idea, depending on who's there at 10 and what asset we could pick up.

Very interesting, thank you. Are you worried about Sorber's foot issues?

I like the OKC option:
