Worse 2018 Suns draft pick: Ayton two picks ahead of Luka or Okobo two picks ahead of Brunson?
Ayton over Luka…Brunson developed in the nba. No one thought he’d be this…lots of people expected this from Luka.
But you could also throw Mikal over SGA in there too
Wasn't SGA Donut wanted?
Don't most people want a donut?

Stix over Haliburton is the one that just eats at me. With Hali I think we would have gotten a title with the Book/CP3/Mikal/Ayton core. We'd still be riding that crew today. And Haliburton was an obvious pick at the time; it wasn't some fluke like Giannis where everybody missed on him. He was right there.

The WHOLE board was calling for it! All of phx-suns.net nation screaming for it. But NO, Jones was too smart for the room.

People tell me he's a good GM.

He did a pretty good job cleaning out a lot of rot when he first got in. He's done a garbage job overall with drafting and improving around the margins. Hard to say how much credit or blame he deserves for the "superstars" in town right now, since those all seem like Ishbia deals anyways.

OKC's Daigneault wins Coach of the Year.

Uh oh. Boston may have just lost Porzingis with an injury. No contact, just gave out. I wonder if it's his Achilles.
Seems like the one thing that could really derail their run to a championship. Without him, you're playing Al Horford and Sam Hauser an awful lot of minutes.

Philly just completed a crazy OT comeback win in NY to avoid elimination. They push the series to a Game 6. Brunson was awesome for NY but Maxie hit a huge 3 from the logo to tie it near the end of regulation, and Embiid and phx-suns.net favorite Kelly Oubre also contributed down the stretch. Fun game.

The Clippers look like the Suns and Lakers, dead in the water.
I'm really enjoying the Mavs. Kyrie is incredibly entertaining, and I've always said that I'd like Luka a lot more once he stopped crying every possession and he's finally cut that out for the most part.

I'm very surprised the Mavs dropped 2 games to them.

Another year, another injury for Leonard. Same old, same old.

The Suns are the Clippers now, all they need is Ty Lue.

Only concern there is that Luka apparently has a sprained knee. That could be a problem for them trying to have a deep playoff run. He still managed to put up 35-10-7 though.
