I've just recently started studying Doncic, and he's blown me away. Given the #1 pick, I don't think I could pass on Doncic, even though JJJ addresses more needs IMO. I'd be ecstatic with either of them.
Me too!

Chriss has been suspended for a game.

http://arizonasports.com/story/1403123/ ... se-chriss/
The reason for the suspension stems from a verbal confrontation with the team’s strength coach over a postgame routine that the Suns require Chriss to participate in, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes.

“He violated a team rule. He probably won’t be with us for the game tomorrow,” Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said in a statement to 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station. “He’s a good kid who had a bad moment. We look forward to seeing him on Monday morning so we can turn the page and move on.”

The local newspaper rotates several people covering the Suns, none of whom is very good.
Local media coverage, for the most part, consists of rehashing the crap the Suns PR dept. grinds out.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Not according to McDonough. Centers and PGs.
Fortunately, those are the best prospects at the top of the draft. The exception, though, is Luka Doncic, unless you want to call him a point guard.
I do.

A Doncic/Booker backcourt would be terrific.

You'd still need a small guard in there to guard the point guard position.

And publishing a lot of tweets as news.

Put Jackson on the PG.

The other team would have to match up too. The Sixers start a 6-10 guy at PG and force opponents to figure it out.

I thought Bordow has been pretty good for the most part.

Their 6'10 guy is a good defensive player. Plus they also start JJ Reddick.

If we draft Doncic I'd hope he proves big enough to defend the 4.

As I’ve said since the offseason, you can’t fix attitude and you can’t fix aggression. Bender and Chriss have fatal flaws that will not change with age.
