Re: 2014 NBA Draft

As a general rule, I'm pretty opposed to drafting anyone over 23. Kane is older than James Harden.

I'm pretty comfortable running in to next season with the same core backcourt (Dragic, Bledsoe, Green, Goodwin). I think our 3/4 spots need the biggest upgrades.

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

I forget which thread this discussion was in, but here's a pretty reasonable solution to the draft lottery/ tanking issue:

Re: Around the League: Week of 3/17-3/23

I think any system that tries to reform the draft lottery should make it so that you are not rewarded for having the league's worst record. Something like, the team with the league's, say, #7 worst record has the best shot at the #1 draft pick, and then downward to #1 worst record, and then further...

Re: Game Day: Suns (38-28) @ Nets (33-31) , Mon 3/17/14

Miles Plumlee has been really, really bad now for a really, really long time. Just brutal on offense and he's not providing the rim protection he used to. I think it's a combination of exhaustion and a lack of confidence. I can't find the stats, but a few months ago I read his post-ups yielded nearl...

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

All the more reason you should fill out a bracket. The ones I'm in are always won be some girl in the office who picked Syracuse because Orange is her favorite color.

Interesting theory to counter my INFORMER/Anthony Davis hypothesis.

Another potential theory: The site committed Hari Kari out of shame from the "Change it to Jimmer.net" thread.

Re: Happy Eric Bledsoe Day!

It's interesting how the two-man units of Bledsoe and Plumlee and Dragic and Frye have developed great chemistry, but Dragic-Plumlee and Bledsoe-Frye have never really clicked as duos.

What a shit game.

There's nothing that's been more consistently frustrating as a Suns fan, year after year, than our defensive rebounding issues.

I think they're one of several teams in the West with a shot to win the whole thing. OKC, SA and Houston are the others. If Golden State figures their shit out, I could see them getting hot, but they have some big flaws now.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?

Ya. I think it's nerves. When he looked good a month or so ago, his hands weren't bad and I don't think he had bad hands at Maryland. Last night he looked like he was over-thinking everything instead of relying on instincts. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Plumlee sat a few more games so Len could get ...
