My take - which is pretty cold rather than hot take territory - is that this was a really good, solid pick. Is Maluach a perfect prospect? Clearly no. But if he was, he would not have been on the board at #10. But to get a player judged by some (granted not all) as the best on the board, at a ...

What are people’s thoughts on Monte Morris? I thought he was reasonably solid in the few bits I saw of him last season.

This is a good interview with Brian Gregory by Gambo. I like that he gives a lot of the credit to the team of guys he manages. https://youtu.be/uK3j66xuzGU?si=zAWKjokKCz2fcGrz I must say Gregory has sounded much more assured and impressive in his post-draft interviews than he did in the awful ...

That’s certainly possible but I would think it’s more possible and more likely that a young player who’s only been playing for a short time can improve in a lot of different areas, including conditioning

Yahoo gave us an A for every pick. Look these grades mean nothing but I’m just so use to us getting dunked on by all the media it’s a shock to the system.

I feel …. Not pride exactly, but …

Yeah that’s an odd thing to say

My overarching take on the Suns’ draft is it was nice that they seemed to have a clear plan and executed it. And that you don’t need to go through any mental gymnastics to justify their selections. Along their clear needs were size, defense and shooting and they took players who look to tick those bo ...

Plenty of time to address it, but what the Suns badly need is some shot creation.

Everyone but Book and Green on the roster is a play finisher, not a play starter.

Brad Beal exists...

Does he though??!!

We are definitely selling off Richards, Royce for future 2nds. No doubt in my mind. Idk if it’ll be tonight but I don’t see both of them being on this team by training camp.

Agreed

I really like the kid. Seems like a genuine dude with a really good attitude and enthusiasm. Very good character fit and locker room energy. Basketball-wise I don't think we have very many minutes for him given Williams and Richards being on the roster. That's okay; we can take our time bringing ...

On his clips he has a good-looking shot. He hit a couple of jumpers including a corner three in that Olympic clip someone posted today. (Small sample size obviously but still)

Gambo wants CMB. I don't know, I'd be kind of underwhelmed with an undersized 4 that can't shoot and he's just too small for the 5. I don't like the Draymond comp, I think we need more size and athleticism in the frontcourt. I do like the passing and defensive versatility but I think he's a reach ...

Yeah I think Richards is a good back up on a decent salary. No issue with him being on the team but there is an issue when he is asked to be more than that.

I can't wait to here Gregory pontificate on how Dillon Brooks embodies everything they want Suns' culture to be. Brooks does pretty much embody the current Suns front office culture - someone who thinks they are a lot better than they are, plays a bigger role than their talent and experience ...

Just gotta get a good deal. While it would be ideal to get a great deal soon, it is more important to do a good deal than a quick deal.

Or the Ben Simmons school of preseason uncontested three pointers in the gym?

Maybe Beal will still be on the Suns next season. https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1934637127385706990 I’m glad we’ve seem to come to our senses on Beal. Waiving and stretching him was an awful idea. Let him play, see if he builds up some value and he could actually turn into an asset next year a ...

JJJ’s rebounding is not good. But if you can put some good rebounders around him, he more than makes up for it in other ways for mine.

I want Sochan in any package from SA for sure, big fan of that kid. I like Sochan too but if we assume Dunn is a big part of our plans and we aren’t getting a shooting center, there would be a big query in outside shooting in many of our line ups (especially given Booker’s 3 point shooting isn’t his ...

If they get under the 2nd apron they'll be able to use the midlevel exception, use trade exceptions, and prevent their future first round pick from being moved to the end of the first round. I would agree that he'll probably have some trade value next year as an expiring contract, and then they'd ...
