A mentor for JJ (and maybe Bridges & Oubre)

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I had visions of Pippen dancing through my head when we drafted JJ. Pop had Pippen meet with Kahwi back in the day. Wonder if it wouldn’t be a good idea for us to request the same.

And can we force Ayton to go to Olajawon’s big man camp or whatever?

We don’t have great vets to mentor them on the team, so we need to seek this elsewhere where possible.

I'm all for it. The Suns should have done such already.

Not sure if related but saw this posted a minute ago by the Suns beat writer. Not an ideal mentor but a possibility.

I hope this is true. Suns need a point guard to get it done.

IIRC, we send Len and Plumlee to that camp and both came back slightly worse from before.

May be a good idea but it’s certainly not for everyone.

Gortat worked with Olajuwon too and came back to Phoenix wearing a tutu.

I suspect players like those guys don't particularly have what it takes to get a whole lot out of training with Hakeem. Ayton on the other hand has the skills and physical talent to do quite a few of the things that Hakeem could do and thus I would guess he would get more out of it.
