2018 Suns Pre-draft Workouts

[Superbone]

Twitter is not happy that Holiday is getting a 2nd workout.

Twitter is f*cking stupid. So there's that..

I don't even know what that means. Who's not happy and why?

Nothing on twitter is ever reasonable. Everyone is always up in arms about something. Hence my statement.

Yeah, I got your statement. It was the original one that has no meaning to me.

Are you trollin' right now? Feels like you're pulling an SDC.

I think he means Suns fans posting comments on twitter.


There's a really gross socio-linguistic phenomenon where Twitter users refer to any very specific subculture of people using the site as "Twitter."

Thank you! I couldn't figure out why the Suns official Twitter account was unhappy with Holiday getting a second workout. To me, "Twitter" is not a specific group of people. Who's angry? NBA fans? Suns fans in general? The Twitter population at large? Trump? Why are they upset? There was just zero context there for me.

So, Suns fans that use Twitter are upset that Holiday got a 2nd workout because why? They don't want him? Who do they prefer? Why are they angry? Throw me a bone. (Preferably a super one.)

I'm on it! I guess I'm just not hip, LOL. Obviously, I'm not a power user.

Real question:

What does Holiday do that Jevon Carter and Jalen Brunson don't do? I just don't have a good feel for guys that far down in the draft.

I see Carter as mostly just a defensive PG. I don't think he adds much offensively. Tops out as Beverley if he can hit the NBA 3.

Brunson also is a little lacking in the athletic department. He's gonna struggle to beat people off the dribble. Crafty player, can spot up, maybe Derek Fisher.

Holiday is the best athlete, has the ability to beat his man off the dribble and is easily the most versatile shooter. Is really an elite shooter.

That pretty much covers it. Well said, Split.

Bagley in tomorrow & an unnamed player in a one-on-none workout Saturday.

Luc Longley?

Luc Longley?

I believe they just want to wait until the day before/of to release the name. It won't be Doncic. My guess is JJJ.

I haven't heard of a player who sounded more interesting at #16 than Holiday so far. Though I confess that my knowledge of the draft is superficial.

OK, I watched some video last night. I see what you are saying, Split.

Carter can hit the NBA 3, and has the body to absorb contact. Very special college defender. I don't know that he is quick enough to defend in the NBA. Maybe!

Brunson = Fisher. Spot on. Doesn't create offense as much as run the offense. I would absolutely take a guy like that to steal Ulis's minutes. Second round, of course.

Holiday can shoot, sure, and he has a true scorers mentality. Doesn't just shoot; he can score in a variety of ways. He's tiny. I saw him listed at 6'0.5" somewhere. I don't believe it. He's 5'11" at most (in socks). He's going to be a target on defense, but he will punish the other team if they don't guard him. Will probably be a better scorer than Mike James, but do we need a guy who plays like that?

Hmm. If something makes me throw up, I give it a 0.

I'm on a diet pan that consists of reliving past Suns mistakes and forecasting future ones. It really helps suppress appetite through anger and anxiety.

Beautiful! Wish I had thought of that. I may adopt it. Now the rating makes sense as you could lose some pounds via purging. Thanks for clarifying.
