What would happen if we just decided to draft Ball's father instead?

Just the ones Dary comments on bec he drives me crazy.
Who is this guy? He was fine to me, but he all of a sudden started insulting me. What's up with his love affair with Knight? I'm starting to question my own eyes where I thought that Booker was better, played better and was doing better as a SG than Knight. Have I been giving Booker a pass where I didn't give Knight the same amount of leeway?
Does anyone listen to the locked on Suns podcasts? If you like monotone hosts then it's the show for you. They did one recently talking about knights playing time and how he was getting treated unfairly. I began to question if the hosts actually watched this season because it's hard to ignore how much he has blown this season . But then realized the host just just didn't want to disagree with Eddie house since he is the only thing semi interesting about the podcast. Pretty sure Olson has a different opinion when he's not around.

I like Olson compared to Zimmerman at arizonasports.com because he's very dry & monotone. Olson's most recent podcast for Arizona Sports: Empire of the Sun -- http://arizonasports.com/category/podca ... f+the+Suns

Olson has a good write up out there on Fultz and Ball already. They go through his big board and it surprisingly goes Fultz, Jackson, Ntilikina. He thinks Ntilikina is a game changer defensively like Kawhi Leonard. Briefly discusses pairing him with Booker in a Harden + Beverly type of backcourt. Booker is no Harden yet and Ntilikina is much bigger than Pat Beverly. Bev is 6' 1" with a 6' 6.5" wingspan. Ntilikina is tall - 6' 5" with a wingspan close to 7". There's been no official combine-like measurements.

Didn't see any nazis but, the beef in Brazil and Argentina was awesome! Had a fillet mignon breaded with a slice of ham on top covered in marinara sauce and cheese. My mouth had an orgasm. Sort of a chicken parmesan with beef.

That sounds fantastic. BTW, the nazis are incognito. ;)

I haven't been, but have heard the beef there is amazing. And I hope that wasn't the only orgasm you had there.

So like any update on bender? It was said he was doing warm ups recently. Has that continued or shall we assumed he is being shelved? Can't find a peep about it

Youngest lineup ever. And we still have the youngest player in the NBA injured. Replace len with bender and the average age is almost in the teens

So the craziest thing about that, is that the oldest guy wasn't even born until we were down 3-1 against the Bulls...

^ I think the youngest guy was probably conceived during a Kidd / Cliffy / Rodney Rogers malaise game.

Everyone, everywhere should just start calling Lonzo, "Lavar Ball's son". Do you think he would like it, or start getting what he is doing to his kid? He is not helping his draft position. Lonzo is where he is because of his play.

Quick, can someone do the math and figure out what average age would be if they substituted Bender for Len?

Sure. Len was born 6/16/93. Bender 11/17/1997. Difference of 1615 days. Replacing one of five players in the starting lineup, so reduces average age by 1615/5 = 323 days. 323 days = 365 - 42 = 1 year - 42 days.

21 years + 14 days - (1 year - 42 days) = 20 years + 56 days.
