I like what I've seen of Semi Ojeleye. Thoughts on him as a Draymond-like player?
Go Suns!

I like Ojeleye quite a bit. Very athletic and thought of as a sf/pf hybrid. I personally see him as closer to Jimmy Butler type, but maybe a Draymond Green is close.

Kellen is saying that he can't defend even at an average level but I've read the opposite and his athleticism is off the charts. He's already 22 though and if he can't defend now that could be a big red flag.

At 32, I hope that Jordan Bell is available. I saw some workout footage and his outside jumper looked pretty decent to me. I think he can guard 3-4 positions and is a good passer and rebounder. I think the Suns might have to get ahead of the second 1st round pick by the Lakers to get him though.

I am also a fan of Anzejs Pasecniks and think he is a taller, longer, more athletic, better jumper, better footwork and much better hands version of Alex Len. He could come over right away and easily make Len expendable immediately(although I don't see the Suns bring Len back anyway).

After that, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, Semi Ojeleye, Sindarius Thornwell, Dillon Brooksm, PJ Dozier and others all look like they could contribute immediately. Jonathan Jeanne looks like a great draft and stash in Europe or now in the G League.

So he's Karl Anthony Townes and just nobody as noticed?

Pasecniks actually looks legit. He'll rise up the boards because of Porzingis. He's still got a ways to go physically, but he looks like a player. I'd be fine with him at 32.

Haha, no no no, not that good. I don't think he will be as solid physically as Towns and I think he's about 2 inches taller. Also, he doesn't have quite the range as Towns either, who legitimately has good 3pt range. He's a great prospect though, and I think he might end up being what we hoped Len would have turned out to be.

Because the concievers would be super super old. These brothers were born like 35 years apart. I don't need the details.

You've seen those commercials that Rick does. He still doesn't miss. ;)

Looks like the Suns were there to interview him too. This was kind of crazy.
“I did some hard majors,” Barry said (in what is an extreme understatement). “My Master’s is in Nuclear Engineering, so it’s nice to be focusing on jump-shots instead of neutron multiplicity and reactor theory.”
Go Suns!

Undrafted FA possibility. NAZSUNS possibility.
