Who/what are we getting from the Suns? Good question. I'm searching for the answer. If anything, maybe Ainge didn't want a whole lot of rookies on the team, so he punted the 24th pick for a future pick? |

I'm ok with that. Especially if it's a first rounder given the Suns history.

I'm glad we didn't draft Nassir Little. Loads of athletic talent, but lacking in feel and advanced basketball skills.

It's possible Ainge traded for one of those picks with multiple years of protections, so that 5 years from now we get the 8th pick or something. Looking at everything.....if we get something now....I'd predict Dragan Bender, Ellie Okobo, and the Suns 2nd rd pick next year |

I'm ok with that. Especially if it's a first rounder given the Suns history. According to Himmelsbach, it's a future Suns' draft pick. |

Ok, I'm not overwhelmed with this pick. Grant Williams is a nose tackle, not a basketball Power Forward. Really hope he proves me wrong. Super smart guy, with tremendous work ethics, knows how to play the game, is an excellent teammate -- but he's short for the 4 and 5, too slow for the 3, and I'm concerned that he won't be able to get off his shots near the basket (which was his bread and butter at Tennessee). He's got his supporters, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. EJA, here's another blue chpper anti primadonna for you. He's the Marcus Morris pick. He's the Corliss Williamson. He goes in and does dirty work. Gets rebs and draws fouls. he brings the tough. Remember tough? It's been hard to remember that cause we had players that were sissies Haha! I think you've just convinced me with this statement. Yeah, we need a tough guy, a la Aron Baynes, who is most likely gone. |

Give me BALL players. Right. I like Jaylen more than I do Nassir Little, but your point stands. Get Brad basketball players who know what to do, and how to execute on the basketball court -- not just athletes. |
