Suns News: Week 22 3/21-3/27

[Shabazz]

I can't see Archie back with the team next year. I think he'll end up having an NBA career, but it won't be here.

Also, please no Ronnie Price next year. Pretty Please.

[EDC]

Well he's athletic. Very fast for his size. He can pass. I think his shot is the problem right now. As well as his frame. Needs to add weight.

You think he's athletic? You think he's "fast for his size"? You think he can pass, is that it? Let me tell you something. Look at him - he's a bum. You want to see something funny? You go visit Dragan Bender in five years. You'll see how goddamned athletic he is.

You threw your fist into the air after you wrote that didn't you?

Actually I stuck some pencils up my nose and asked myself "Who am I?"

They might have gone a little too deep.

[carey]

I was just aggregating all that I've read about Bender into an easily digestible format. Gosh!

[Superbone]

I don't know anything about him so I appreciate any and all info. He sounds like a controversial pick and a few years away from being a contributor. Sounds like he has some bust potential. I'll be interested to hear INF's take.

Unless he's an international scout I doubt he's seen him play much. He didn't play in the U19 world's because of a shoe contract thing.

I have no interest in him.

[INFORMER]

Archie better have his bags packed

Long overdue.

I would really like to see Bogdan over here next season.

I'd think we'd have to get rid of at least one high priced combo guard to make it worthwhile. I wouldn't mind a guard rotation of Bledsoe, Booker, Price, and Bogdan. We'd definitely need to go back to a traditional PG/SG lineup to make it feasible (which I'd hope for).

I can't imagine we sell low on Brandon after a season.

This is such a crappy way to build a team, because, really, you end up not building anything at all. Too many resources, too much time, and too many roster spaces get wasted on players who are not part of the answer. And we wait seasons to move on, because decision-makers are either too stupid to realize that player isn't the answer, or they obtusely play the asset appreciation game, managing the team with a mind-numbingly micro approach.

I thought he was channeling his inner Trump, and not directing anything at you personally...

[Mori Chu]

Yep, that's a given. There's no room for shooting guards that can't shoot.

A guard who can't shoot and can't pass is struggling in the NBA? GO FIGURE!

^ Those tweets get me very excited. Look at that list. Ohhhh my.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Wow, that list is something to be considered, and only T-Mac was not heralded as much as the rest of them coming into the league, I hope Booker keeps up with them going forward.

He looks so poised in the court, not your usual rookie overwhelmed by the speed and strength displayed for everyone else in the court. Booker is already our best and more rounded player.

[Superbone]

Based on this list, I expect no less than 9 all-star appearances from Devin.

[Split T]

Bill Simmons called Booker a future multiple all star player on his most recent podcast

[AmareIsGod]

[video][/video]
Unreal. For being so terrible this year, he's a real gem.

[Superbone]

Just wait until the kid gets some strength and experience!

[Nodack]

Booker has surpassed any expectations I had of him. Thank you Bledsoe and Knight for getting injured and allowing Booker to spread his wings. They got that one right.

Sorry Goodwin.
