This is interesting:
The 17th annual NBA.com GM Survey went out last week and it was made clear that the Suns young core is being looked at highly throughout the league.
[...] Jackson was voted “Which rookie will be the best player in five years” last season and Ayton followed him up this year securing the same top spot for the Suns yet again.

And check this out from the same link
It’s hard to be labeled underrated when you’re drafted first overall, but an NBA general manager seems to be that impressed by Ayton. The 20-year-old received at least one vote in the survey for “Which rookie was the biggest steal at where he was selected in the draft.”
We ranked second for most improved team this season and third for the most promising young core, among NBA General Managers.
Doesn't sound like Ryan is a laughingstock among NBA execs.

It's hard to say. I feel like he would be viewed as mediocre. He hit on some picks but had his share of misses. Got us to our destination but much slower than he should have. The team also has less future assets than it should. So there's a number of negatives to go with his few positives.

However, slower could end up being better as far as the draft. Ayton could be better than any of the top picks in the last few years.

So, wait. We want Ryan back now?

We want Little Bobby gone. We don't want people to think that the Suns problems star or end with Ryan.
