The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

So I been trying to think who to compare Ayton to offensively and I come up with a couple names but he’s so young and big men have such a big learning curve. So the guy I’m thinking is bigger Orlando Dwight Howard with better touch.

Now defensively I have no clue, his range of options are the most different of any big prospect I’ve ever seen watched. He’s similar sized and better moving than Greg Oden but Oden was a dominate defensive player. Most guys his size dominated the paint but his dumb ass coach let him play Power Forward which throws everything off honestly.

Cavs need to buy a second rounder to get dude

If the Suns really love Trae, they'd have to make an offer you can't refuse.

They have the assets to do it.Warren's just another piece.

It could be future unprotected picks.I'm not that high on Trae.

I'm just saying, if somebody in the Suns front office loves him that much,

they could get him if he starts to tumble down the lottery.Which I don't think

is all that far fetched.I wouldn't be all that shocked to see him still on the board at #8.

Agreed the suns are similiat to the Celtics in that they need to consildate some of these damn young players and picks

So what's the plan in Phoenix? It seems like y'all have been rebuilding for the last 5-7 years, when are y'all gonna be ready to get back in the playoff chase?

I'mma say 2019.Give Josh Jackson, Booker, and Ayton a year to get acclimated/develop....add some vets..Should be right there

knocking on the door.Easily

Someone sell me on Trae Young

Someone sell me on Trae Young

He made something like 35 percent of 30s from 28 feet or better. He had elite court vision and ability to make almost passes. Really good handle. Shot 50 percent on shots off the pass. Good floater. Good in the passing lanes. Flawed but if he hits his potential he is the type of point guard you want in the future.

Same I’d trade 8 and love to move up if he was 6’4

He is looking better than Bamba I guess
