The polar opposite of Ayton. My boner is off the charts!“It’s really important, by taking care of every rep and not taking any rep for granted,” Khaman said after his performance in the Suns’ 95-88 win over the Bucks on Monday night. “It’s a process, my time eventually will come, and I just gotta be ready for the opportunity that I don’t have rather than having an opportunity, and I’m ready for it.”
Yeah, I mostly agree. Maybe Spencer is in front of Bouyea, but it really doesn't matter when Booker and Green are both healthy. Maybe Peat and Maluach work their way into the 2nd unit.Split T wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2026 8:44 amI have a hard time seeing how Dunn gets minutes if we are healthy:
Booker/Gillespie/Bouyea
Green/Kennard/Highsmith
Brooks/Goodwin/Dunn
Bridges/Fleming/Peat
Williams/Oso/Maluach
That’s kinda how I see the rotation. Those guys on the 3rd line will have a tough path to minutes. Though I think we should be able to play 3 centers.
Ya I didn’t include the 2-ways, but Spencer could be ahead of Bouyea.O_Gardino wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2026 9:52 amYeah, I mostly agree.

We have a lot of decent bench players, and I'd like to see us trade Dunn rather than bench him. Just grab a couple of future 2nd round picks while he has some value. Surely someone wants an athletic wing defender.
I almost want to make the same argument for Oso, but I think we still need his IQ.
I think you're mostly right about that depth chart. But I look at it and I can't help but think I would like this team more if every single starter except Booker were off the team. I think I would rather watch a team with the following depth chart:Split T wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2026 8:44 amI have a hard time seeing how Dunn gets minutes if we are healthy:

The team you describe loses at least 50 games, if not 60. Fun or not, no thanks.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2026 12:10 pmI think you're mostly right about that depth chart.

Isn't that a much more fun, young, exciting, developing team? With some of our draft picks back in hand, such as the 2033 one, of course. We wouldn't likely make the playoffs, but who cares? We aren't and won't be a contender either way.
I wish we could just build our team the normal way by developing young guys and picks, and not put mediocre or overpaid veterans in front of them.
They'd win 15 games and Booker would ask out.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2026 12:10 pmI think you're mostly right about that depth chart.
