I'm surprised the whole board didn't melt down over the news that djj is going to get signed by the heat.

Agreed. I just thought the majority of this board had an unhealthy love for DJJ. Sort of like INF and Matt Janning.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Meh, not an NBA player.iLLmatic wrote:I'm surprised the whole board didn't melt down over the news that djj is going to get signed by the heat.
That's pretty much where I'm at with them.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:The real problem I have with Chriss is, even when he's playing well, he just isn't the kind of player I want. He doesn't rebound or defend that well, and on his best night he's still mostly just a scorer and shot chucker. I will give him credit for somewhat better defense lately, including some great blocks. But he rarely has a strong rebounding performance, and the defense is mostly poor from him overall.
I much prefer Bender's game over Chriss's. Bender needs more confidence and a lot more experience, but he's a generally solid defender. I trust him out there a lot more than Chriss to still contribute something even when he isn't scoring much or when his shot isn't falling.
Neither Bender nor Chriss seems good enough to me to justify avoiding picking a PF/C if that's the clear BPA.
He also fouled out in 20 minutes IIRC. Woof.INFORMER wrote:Chriss had his second productive outing in a row last night, although 4 turnovers in 20 minutes from your PF is rough.
His foul rate is practically unchanged from last season, according to per 36 stats.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:He also fouled out in 20 minutes IIRC. Woof.
Apparently when the Suns worked him out, Watson was throwing Chriss lobs and he broke the rim. Watson even compared Chriss to Lamarcus Aldridge. Combine this with the fact that Bender went in first but didn't play in favor of Chriss and it probably means Watson was the one who pushed for Chriss.virtual9mm wrote:Anyone else think that Watson was the one in the room pushing for the Suns to draft Chriss, while McD was pushing to draft Bender?
I thought that was confirmed, if not common knowledge already? Or, at least that was the consensus last year given McDs quotes after the draft about wanting both guys but not being able to decide. Then there was W****n's coddling and favoritism towards Chriss.Anyone else think that Watson was the one in the room pushing for the Suns to draft Chriss, while McD was pushing to draft Bender?
I gave him the asterisk treatment for a day or two, like a month ago. But people said they felt it wasn't deserved, because Watson wasn't a truly hated Sun and tried his best. I could go either way on it, but the majority seemed to want his name un-asterisked. Thoughts?ShelC wrote:W****n needs the asterisk treatment. Can we make that happen?

I'm against it. It loses meaning if you abuse it. You really all HATE him? As in an all-time hated Sun?
