    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    For a young guy who is still learning the game, he's good a little of that compete in him. He's not afraid to mix it up, wants to block you shot, wants to dunk in you and physicality doesn't bother him

    Brissett Wants $15 Million & Cards Say No

    I don't think much of Willis, but he re-established himself as a young prospect that did well enough in relief that teams will take a risk on him as a starter - those guys have always been paid on the hope they work out, but seldom do That is closer to Brissett when the colts extended him and...

    Brissett Wants $15 Million & Cards Say No

    Yeah - I see your POV for sure I think the bigger issue is why is he running as a starter? He's a fully replaceable player - I'd rate him as replaceable even as a backup It's a position they mismanaged themselves into for sure

    Brissett Wants $15 Million & Cards Say No

    I'm with Russ - I'd never name him a starter to begin with and definitely wouldn't pay him starter money. He's not a starter - her just isn't Why would you pay him double what Flacco signed for? Double Mariota? There are plenty of no upside, mediocre vets making less than what he's...

    Brissett Wants $15 Million & Cards Say No

    Kind of Seattle had the prior year starter returning, a veteran journeyman that the players respected in Jackson. They made the trade and contract with Flynn. They drafted Wilson. Wilson showed enough in rookie camp to get into the competition. However, it was a competition and it went...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Define progress? It's easy to speak in meaningless platitudes We also went through the whole "lottery pick" thing - this is the NBA draft - the Suns were lucky a prospect with something unique was available for them and you can't put on a player the organizational incompetence of testing away...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Also a reminder that he's still got a couple months until his 20th birthday Off-season hype is just that - there must be stories........ However, the kid works and will go for it. Still not guaranteed to get there, but still very much in the window to develop physically and with his game

    Never England Norway would be fun As for the positioning of the team - it's still where it is, which is disappointing as there are some players of quality They are definitely a top 20 team, but definitely not a top 10. Then as mentioned above, even within the top 10 you really only have 3-4...

    Even at the end just a bunch of watching - crosses to no one, not competing for second balls, it looked like a few guys just kind of checked out I'm hoping Reyna stays healthy and gets his career back on path I'd also like to see Berhalter move up in competition - I liked a lot of what he was...

    They had some moments, but have to be disappointed in how they played It was three worst performance I've seen in the knockout round - just really poor play and way too close to what have us all concerns coming in

    It's another wave of what we have - some really good talents Trying to get a young CB to choose the US over Germany as well

    Goalkeeping used to be a strength for so long That our pool is this shallow and has been for so long now is really baffling Some of the legacy challenges are still there, but to have such a void at GK is troubling - especially when we've seen great GK performances across the tournament - many...

    Not getting easier on the defense - a whirlwind of activity and a very physical player that can hold up and move a bit

    He's an awful keeper All the weaknesses are on full display Playing better this half, but still way too disconnected and loose with the ball Need one back soon

    He doesn't want to be out there anyway
