The problem with BPA is we really can't afford have yet another SG. Maybe BPA who's not a SG.I suspect the Suns will draft size with their first two picks.
I'd go with BPA. However, I'm not sure who that is at the moment and the Suns may not either trading for the 10th so late. Hopefully they already have some players targeted and it's why they did the trade.
There is good depth at FC if the Suns should decide to trade down.
Also, there should be point guards available late in the draft. I'm hoping they bring Gillespie back and maybe Washington as well.

But we could. We only had Paul. Or maybe that was before Paul, I can't remember.My guess is that what James Jones was thinking when he passed on Haliburton… he couldn't use another point guard.
But we could. We only had Paul. Or maybe that was before Paul, I can't remember.
So you really would draft another SG to add to our team of almost all SGs? The draft isn't even that strong to begin with. I don't think a BPA SG is going to be all that great in this one. I get what you're saying but I just don't think it applies here. I mean, I guess you could but we'd have to trade 4 of ours after the draft or maybe during the draft in draft day deals. I'm not sure first time GM Gregory is sharp enough to pull that off.The point being, in my humble opinion, is always draft best player available unless there is comparable talent that fits a need.
We saw that when the Suns drafted Josh Jackson as well.

In shape Barkley was about 2-3 years. He was fat in Philadelphia and selfish. His best year was his MVP year in Phoenix. Refute what I said and what the discussion is about, it isn't about whether he was productive on an individual level but his actual leadership, dedication, and ability to elevate a team. Nothing you said proves otherwise.
Serious wrist injury? I've never heard of a wrist injury being a major red flag in a player's draft prospects. Knees, feet, and back, sure, but hands and wrists?People also need to remember that in the 2020 draft, Haliburton was coming off a serious wrist injury that ended his college season and his agent was only sharing his medicals with a few teams (the Suns were not one of them).
I’d have so much more respect if you were just oh hey I didn’t know instead of always just trying to double down. Like it’s been brought up Barkley wasn’t actually fat in Philly outside of his rookie year. He was in great shape and had a killer motor and I’d dare you to find a Philly teammate who calls him selfish
Barkley in 87 averaging 28/12 omg what a fat slob
It was just another ingredient in the soup. The injury combined with his agent making it clear that they weren’t going to give medicals to teams that they didn’t want to draft him was a reason why he slipped in the draft.Serious wrist injury?

I refuse to "like" any candidate. I dropped out of the draft prediction game years ago, after conceding that I--and most people--know virtually nothing. Even NBA front offices themselves, to some extent, know little for certain. I was tired of pretending that I understand these players.
It means little that, for the record, I was calling for the selection of Steve Nash in 1996. Why does it mean little? Because all I was doing was reading the abstracts, the brief profiles of these candidates in the newspaper, and saying something like "This 'Steve Nash' guy sounds good. They should take him." He's probably the only case where the Suns drafted the candidate I liked and the draftee turned out to be a good player.

I view it as continuing education on the game. Right or wrong, if you learn from your mistakes then you can find new ways to view the game as a whole.
To each their own. I'm a diehard basketball fan so I'm all in. I know it brings pain when the team passes on guys like Haliburton, who virtually everyone here wanted, but getting things right reinforces views and can provide a dopamine hit. There's more reasons to rattle off but ultimately it's just entertainment and we all have different levels of interest.
Steve Nash was considered a safe pick in the 1996 NBA Draft and he was that for sure.
However, he turned out to be so much more.
I watched this video of Harper and Ace Bailey working out with Giannis.
Ace really impressed me, I thought he looked better than Harper. If there was anyway we could trade up and get him, I would be ecstatic. Dude looks like a stud to me.
That really isn't the point. It's that I knew nothing, but back in 1996 I was pretending I knew much. No more of that.Steve Nash was considered a safe pick in the 1996 NBA Draft and he was that for sure.
