Let's hope our draft picks improve after the KD trade. I'd love to have #10 back.

It would be awesome if the Suns could get a Kevin Durant trade done sooner rather than later, especially if it includes an earlier 2025 draft pick.

Then we could better focus on whom the Suns might draft. It's hard projecting who will be available at #29 and #52.

A 23 Year old 5th year Senior who can shoot. It's safe to say JJ is still involved in our draft process.

Taking the BPA is the best way to draft, IMO, regardless of position.

Collect them if they are talented and cheap. Then turn them over for a missing piece later on.

If a team drafts poorly, they have nothing.

I understand that view in the lottery or even teen's but we pick so far back that we aren't going to get anyone coveted by other teams enough to get more out of trading them. I'd rather trade for a future pick than draft a SG at this point. There's no minutes for them to develop or be showcased.

In the late 2nd round, I can kind of see the BPA approach since those players can be signed to Two-Way deals. Guaranteed deals from the first round though requires a more measured approach.

If a team can trade for a future pick that should have value, that's okay, but that can get tricky. It's still better than making a bad selection.

James Jones likely passed on Haliburton because he had a point guard… huge mistake.

I agree 100% on those points. The situation with Hali was different as we were in the teens and needed a backup PG. At #29 or whichever pick we'll be at, we need to find a Dunn type who can fit into a rotation.

As long as the Suns make good selections, I'm fine with it. They can't afford to miss on players.

We agree the Suns need much more length and defensive minded talent.

The Suns work out Danny Wolf PF/C who could potentially be a lottery pick.
