I would totally draft him just for his name.

Xavier McDaniel already has used the nickname X-Man.

Well. I finally did a little looking at the draft. I am thinking I like Queta from Utah state. Plays big. Has an Embiid type of body (not quite as big). Great rebounder defender and passer. That is what this team could use in that position.

Sleeper pick, I think.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Queta looks like he would get eaten alive in high pick and roll.

 

[Russ Smith]

Everyone tanking for him next year.

Isn't he in the same draft as Emoni Bates?

This off-season is going to be interesting. Gotta feeling that there will be some good players that WANT to be here.

Yup. Talented team. Success in playoffs. Likable teammates. Respected and likable coach. Good system. Phoenix is well-regarded area (weather, golf, less expensive, etc). If jones can keep sarver from messing in it I suspect we can become a destination.

"new" arena and new practice facility with plenty of ammenities.

I think the response of the fans so far in the playoffs is another big draw. Lots of players and media noting how loud and supportive the fans are and how great the experience is.

i dont think so, other events have been limited due to covid, other events will return to full capacity eventually.

The new practice facility near where players live is another one.

I think Sarver has learned as evidenced by the hire of James Jones and Monty Williams.

There are other games that rival or exceed the turnout at Suns games but the Phoenix fans are the only ones I'm hearing discussed regularly on the national level. There are a ton of former players that rave about Phoenix being a special place to play because of the fans.

Unfortunately we've been bad so long that it died down for a while but we're winning again and its like this city never missed a beat. We weren't waiting for Covid to end, we were waiting to return to relevancy.

Notice that Sarver has been absent through all of this?

 

[JCSunsfan]

It's those good players that fall through the cracks and have to take less of a contract and say "heck with it, I am going to go get a shot at a championship."

 

[Hoop Head]

Almost absent. He made a cameo in the first round when LeBron was staring him down on the sideline and Sarver held up 1 finger on each hand to signify the series was even at a 1 a piece. I can't blame him for that and didn't mind seeing it either. Thankfully he's been absent since then.
