LOL!!! :lol:

At 13, I wouldn't be upset if the Suns went with Kaminsky. I think he could be a good compliment to Len and Warren.

I originally read this as you wanted a PF that would sext their mom! Always good to reread things, haha.

I'm thinking we'll end up picking between kaminsky, Lyles, Looney, and portis. Outside shot we go wing and take Booker or oubre.

Kaminsky would fill the Frye role, he's a nice piece.
I'm not sure what Lyles does that Markieff doesn't already do.
Portis best quality is his rebounding which would be much appreciated.
Looney is the most intriguing to me, he's long, rebounds, and can hit from the outside. He'd be my pick out of those 4.

I'm still really hoping Myles Turner slides.

I don't think Kaminsky lasts to pick 13. If so, you absolutely take him.

I think Kaminsky makes a lot of sense, he's gonna be an NBA player for a long time and he fills a need. I Just think we need the game changer type. Our team is full of nice players, but no great ones. I'd absolutely love to move up (I think Towns, Russell, and Portzingis are gonna be special) but at 13 I think we gotta take a chance on somebody. Obviously we don't know who this years kawhi/Gobert/giannis type steal is but it'd be nice to try for it.

I won't be upset with Kaminsky or portis, both will be nice players, but I think looney has more star potential.

I doubt Kaminsky slides to us - too NBA-ready with a clear role to play in the modern NBA, and a whole lot of teams ahead of us who want to compete now.

I'm also starting to think we're not interested in Portis - not at 13, at least.

I think Turner falls to us, because he's a project. He's clearly a center, and he's two years away from being able to play that position, imo. The teams ahead of us probably can't be that patient, and/or have other pressing needs. Plenty of compelling talent (Booker, Johnson) likely available in that 9-12 range.

If Turner does fall to us, I think there's a good chance we take him, and a good chance we trade him down. I also think we're eyeing Looney, who is likewise 2 years away, but who fills a need.

So. Say Looney and Kaminsky are both there at #13. That's tough. I like both of them. Kaminsky has a little bit of Dirk in him. Looney has a little bit of Durant in him.

Today is a good work out. There's going to be a lot of options at #13. I honestly have no idea which way they will go. I'd still prefer they trade up for Kristaps or Mario but we should get another rotation guy at the very least.
Go Suns!

Tough to predict what the Suns are going to do.
The team needs help in so many areas.

It's an odd assortment of pieces in search of an identity, a real grab-bag of a team.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Not sure why we bother testing running as our rookies don't do much of that, we just sit them on the bench.

I'm up for a swing for the fences attitude (high upside) or try to trade up. I like the look of a lot of the choices at 13 but it likely wont move the needle. We just more depth who may get lost in the mix. Being on the playoff cusp do they get any time? I know we made some changes to our coaching staff, but we really need to keep working on innovative player development in this type of situation we have been in the last 2 years
