Totally understand it’s just a press conference, but couldn’t be more impressed with Koa Peat and the type of person the Suns are bringing in. Was able to see him in the community for about an hour this morning, and you can tell how much of a people and family-first guy he is, which is a huge part of the Suns DNA this team is looking for.
From the presser, he also seems very measured and focused on playing the right way, which will be a valuable trait to have playing for Jordan Ott. Phoenix is getting a rookie who can leverage his strengths right away for a winning team, but one who’s also self-aware and dedicated to improving any weaknesses.

Except he does he really play like a big man? His 5.7 rebounds per game show that he didn’t really play big on the boards. And his size, bulk and solid athleticism in college meant he could “play big” on offense there but how many times have we seen tweeners like he not be able to do the same when he wasn’t going against the best in the world every night versus college players?

Again, we all know there’s a difference between what’s measured with tape and a stopwatch and what we see when the whistle blows and we see how that athleticism transfers to the court.
I’ve seen him on the court. You literallly said you didnt really watch him. He ain’t like two of the best athletic bigs to ever play the game once the whistle blows. I mean, if TJ is saying that about a U of A guy, believe him.

Tobe Awaka took all the boards. Did you forget that. Or did it not match your agenda.
True...just by those drills they showed the kid doesnt seem to really bang much... a guy at 250 pounds shouldnt be afraid of contact...especially on offense.
I only watched a little of the guy and he seemed to use his body well but that didnt show out in the drills
so...I could, and probably am, be completely wrong on the kid, lol.
but at 19...there is still hope that he can become a banger.
im just looking for the bright side in the draft..the suns have a bit more hope than the redbirds...but not much
Not much back-to-basket plays can be found in today's NBA. Peat has good handle and can score nicely in the paint through contacts. He uses his weight well.
We'll probably Krivas
