For those on the Doncic train (I still don't know how I feel...conflicted as hell), what will Ayton have to do at the end of the day for you to ultimately be at peace with him?
Propel the Suns to contention.

Too ball dominant for my tastes. If he's going to be the focal point of your team, sure.

After seeing his interview and it being clear as day how smart the kid is I'm not even surprised.
He specifically pin pointed what necessary tweaks he wanted to make to his shot as soon as the season was over so combining natural ability with brains n work ethic.....
Sure seems like his potential is through the roof
Are you talking about Bamba?
Yea I was referencing his comments in the press conference with us when he was asked how his shot been coming and if he feels he will be comfortable in mid-range.

Maybe he was so ball dominant because his teammates sucked. He seems to have very good vision and passing instincts.

I'm super curious how his game is going to translate to the NBA.

I'm pretty sure that he would get more than 19 uncontested 3 pt attempts in a Suns uniform with Booker & Ayton on the floor with him. He might get more than that in the first 2 weeks.

I like Trae Young. I'd be open to trading up for him and saying "to hell with the defense."

I'm not going to complain if we draft Ayton or Doncic. Bamba wouldn't bother me either. It's a good time to be a Suns fan but instead we're trying to cut each others throats while selling our Ayton, Doncic or whomever as the #1 pick. None of us knows until a year or two (or more) have passed after this draft. And one player might have fit better with one team vs. another so really, the stars have to align perfectly. There is no right or wrong choice with the number one pick as long as it's one of the potential top 3 or 4 we're all on board with.
Except that we are due to hear”I told you so” histories no matter who we pick.

Half the defense and double the offense.

Since day 1 I wanted Doncic and to try to sign Capela, hasn't changed. More than fine with Ayton though, I can't imagine him not being at least a 20/10 guy, if he ends up defending then we will just fine.

Did he also lead the entire NCAA in turnovers?

There has been questions about if he would be able to get his 3 off in the NBA because even though he has a quick release, it's a very low release and many think it can get blocked easily at the NBA level.

If he's a truly great shooter though, he will make the right adjustments and it won't be an issue.
