I know it's kinda silly, but between Green, Williams, and Maluach, I'm glad we have some guys who look to stack the rim and try to dunk the ball. We've been missing that for years, and I'm optimistic that we are taking some steps to change the culture a bit.

Our defense might actually be good next year 😭
At least we'll be tall. I'm more excited for Maluach than I ever was for Ayton. 😂
Williams, Richards, and Maluach. Three centers, and not one of them will ever be as good as Ayton. Being a Suns fan sucks. :cry:

Yikes. I would hope nobody gives him a big contract.

COM-mon ma-LOSH. That's how he says his own name in the Bobster video.
Good to know, I’ve been saying Lew-ock
So they traded the 29th pick this year and what is likely to be the 25th-30th pick next year for a certifiable NBA starting center. I am certainly willing to take that chance that he may have health issues in the future.

Notice Bob Myers too…he wouldn’t have done this. If only we had hired Myers. Ugh.

Next year? We gave up a 2029 pick that we have no clue where it will land.

I didn’t even have Maluach on my list for one reason: he has trouble even staying on the floor due to conditioning issues.
Like Ayton?

No.

Ayton’s best games as a Sun were when he played over 36 minutes, and he averaged 36.4 mpg in the 2021 playoffs. I don’t know if Maluach can ever even get to 36 minutes in a game.
