Suns Draft Koa Peat at #30 in 2026 NBA Draft

[Cheesebeef]

I loved Marion but he was not a superstar. Koa has the inside game already and it will only get better. I believe in the kid . He will become a good three point shooter I have no doubt.

I never said Marion was a superstar. I said he was an All-Star level player. You’re saying Peat will be BETTER than an All-Star, which inevitably makes him project to a superstar if you think he’ll be better than Marion’s All-Star. I have no idea how you’re coming to that conclusion.

He can develop a 3pt shot and still not be as good as Marion.

Come on, man. I’m not even that big of a Shawn Marion honk, but this statement bewilders me. Marion was a consistent 20/10 guy in his prime who made 4 All-Star teams and was even good enough to make multiple ALL-NBA teams. And you think Koa will not only be as good as Marion, but BETTER?

A resume better than Marion’s would make Koa one of the league’s superstars. That doesn’t seem very realistic.

He was a 20/10 guys as a SF he was truly unique

Here's a question for you guys. We did not draft Haliburton when he fell in the first round. Koa Peat, he fell and 29 other teams passed on him, but we got him. Is Peat our Haliburton?

Why not go for the home run? Is Koa Peat our Steve Nash. LOL

 

[Mainstreet]

I think that Peat is a skilled young F, he is more athletic than you think at first sight (although the comparisons to Shawn Marion are too optimistic) but I still have doubts about the smoothness of his transition into the NBA game.

We know Peat will always make up for any deficiencies with effort. And effort counts for a lot.

KOA is looking solid. Fun to add him to the rest of the roster. The best part is we don’t depend on the rookie and second years guys to be starters yet. They can be good backups until they deserve to start.

If he can rebound with regularity against the big boys that would be great.

Koa is going to become our Chuck Norris.

Koa does do pushups. He pushes the earth down.
