It could be worse. Golden State won a title and still has Steph despite drafting Wiseman over Hali.

Chicago probably could have traded back in that same draft and selected Haliburton and Patrick Williams. Bulls passed on him because of Coby White and then signed Lonzo a year later who's only played 30 games in a year and a half

:francis:

So yeah, it could be worse.

Suns could have drafted Haliburton and passed on him for Jalen Smith (who they also traded for Torrey Craig) :francis: :mjcry:

scouts gotta do better tbh

Instead of drafting guys who can jump high, they need to draft for IQ, feel for the game, etc. Stop trying to turn athletes into NBA players and just draft NBA players

potential, tools, whatever. Most of the time, those guys dont put it together because they dont know how to play in a team setting

Suns were on a shoe string budget for years due to this guy:

Suns probably don't have a scouting department. Sarver also sold the G league team to save money.
