And rightfully so

We do't know what "more" is but if the headliner was Young, I agree with you.

Jamal is a better passer and has a more natural feel for the game than Bledsoe and Knight put together, IMO.

Not to mention his lady shoulders...

Gambo was saying this morning that the Suns really like both Chriss and Bender and may try to move up to position to get both.

I don't like that either. I think they're both projects with Bender being more likely to be a good NBA player, better prospect and more NBA ready. But drafting two projects who both will need front court minutes makes little sense. I rather have a guy like Sabonis along with one of them or a sniper like Hield or Murray.

I guess you have a chance for one of them to develop into a future star pf. If they both become really good, you possibly could play both together. Unless, you think the Suns will be competing for a championship in the next year or so.

They both have some SF skills, but it is weird to covet both when there are other interesting prospects available sprinkled through out the draft.

I don't know. I could see Bender, Chriss, and Len being a formidable frontcourt in a couple years.

At the very least it would be a tall front court.

Why does Kevin Pelton have the Suns taking Juan Hernangomez with the #4 pick in his best draft for every team?

He's drunk.

ESPN Insider exclusive! Opinions you won't find anywhere else (because they're fucking crazy)!

Heh. He was 30th in the NBA TV mock draft.

Even as someone that wants Hernangomez on the team that would be a big blunder. Especially since there are rumblings that he may not come over right away.

I like him alot too. He would be in the mix for me at 13, thin he'll go in the 17-22 range.

carey wrote:My final choices in order for each draft slot are still pretty much the same.

#4: Bender, Hield, Murray
#13: Ellenson, Skal, Valentine
#28: Hernangomez, Ulis, Jones
#34: Ulis/Felder, Petr, Qi

Compared to how the actual draft went, that's pretty impressive.

And props to Gambo.

I wonder who would have taken Chriss if we hadn't? Wouldn't it be funny if he had still been there at #13 without the trade?

If Sacramento didn't take him, I think Toronto would have.
