Seeing as we never had the choice, I will root hard for Jackson. I wanted Tatum, but y'all already know that.ShelC wrote:Would people here prefer Tatum or Jackson?

That's fair. Jackson's play at the end of the year was very encouraging and was what I had hoped he'd be. Tatum just plays like a 10 year vet, with a smooth offensive game and shooting we could really use. Last year was really a great draft with so many different talents. Wish we could've snagged 2-3 of them instead of the 2 duds we got in 2016. Sorry to be so negative, but that's how I feel.O_Gardino wrote:I still like Jackson for the Suns. Jackson is a guy who can make things happen for himself and his teammates without needing a play run for him (for better or worse). Tatum is playing very well in Boston's system, but I think both he and Brown would not look as good on the Suns.

Rozier is playing out of his mind. I love it.Ring_Wanted wrote:You guys watching what Terry Rozier is doing for BOS?
Yes, they have an interesting decision to make in regards to Kyrie and Terry. Rozier isn't going to be an RFA until '19 but he is not going to be happy going back to bench minutes.Ring_Wanted wrote:You guys watching what Terry Rozier is doing for BOS?
He seems like a great target for our PG spot this summer... However, he's gonna be costly and I'm not sure Boston wants to part with him. I also worry that he wouldn't look as good in Phoenix. So I'd definitely be interested, but I'd be cautiousRing_Wanted wrote:You guys watching what Terry Rozier is doing for BOS?
I don’t even know who the fuck that is.Ring_Wanted wrote:You guys watching what Terry Rozier is doing for BOS?
All valid points. If you are a buyer, the time is this offseason as you still have one year to see if this performance is for real (especially intensity on defense and shot selection). Would be expensive for sure, but at the same time he could be a long term solution at the PG spot. Two way player who can shoot and has handles. The Stevens effect is scary, though. Chriss and MIL pick and I am game. Bender I'd be more reluctant as I would hate to see how he develops into a great role player under Stevens (on the other hand, I'd love to see what he can do with Chriss). Just don't want to trade MIA's unprotected pick.Split T wrote:He seems like a great target for our PG spot this summer... However, he's gonna be costly and I'm not sure Boston wants to part with him.

Agreed he is underrated as he is not the kind of player you think about when you heard 5 time allstar. His numbers don't jump at you but when you watch him play, he has a big influence on the game and is very unselfish. His defensive rotation is great and he rarely commits mistakes. Has even expanded his shooting range to the 3pt, which makes him one of the least talked about stretch forwards, with some ability to penetrate too. Really complete player other than on the glass. In other words, perfect fit on a stablished system but can't carry a bad team.O_Gardino wrote: But you know what? Al Horford might be the most underrated player in the NBA. He consistently makes those opportunities for Rozier, Tatum, and Brown.
Rozier has been playing great in this playoffs. But I don't think I'd want him as a starting PG. He's a shoot-first, score-first guard. He averaged just 2.9 assists this season in 26 minutes/game. Nice bench guard, not the starting PG I want on our Suns. Give me a PG who excels at passing, defense, and hopefully is an above-average shooter.Split T wrote:He seems like a great target for our PG spot this summer...
