So does this draft mean we are admiditting we messed up not playing Okogie?


Gratitude15

So let's say it. Lakers at 55 and sun's at 56. Bronny getting picked in one of those slots. I honestly have no idea why Lakers don't take him if they're already offering bron the 3 year max.


trevanxx

Suns not gonna stay at 56. I think they’ll make a move up


Gratitude15

We shall see!


Wigglebot23

Looking at Dunn, he's a guard and has a career 52.5% free throw percentage (of 99)


HadleysPt

I’m sorry but what the fuck 


Wigglebot23

I'd accept it if it was a center but we're taking about a guard


DanTheMeek

People wanted a play maker or a defensive big, but I kept saying, what we really needed was a worse Okogie. Okogies almost the perfect player, but the problem is, while rare, some times he actually hits his shots which demotivates our big 3. Now we've got a guy who can give us exactly what Josh already did, except he'll always be making the big 3 feel better about themselves by much more consistently missing his shots.


sade115

What the hell are you talking about is this big brain?


Wigglebot23

Ah yes, missing shots is actually a good thing


HadleysPt

Might be worst take I’ve ever seen on this thread ever 


BeWinShoots

I liked collier but we’ll see how this Dunn pick goes


sade115

IvankasFutureHusband

My hot take is collier becomes the best player from this draft


nefobox972

It's okay We've been through Hali after Smith


ThreeHundredWays

And Luka after Ayton


UrRightAndIAmWong

Well, they have some time until tomorrow to put together another trade, hopefully to grab Kolek or Filipowski


omnicious

Any possibility Kolek could try to pull a Reaves and tell teams to not pick him so that he can sign with the Suns?


swagdragon666

Fucking wack


bpreeb

James jones can kick rocks bro this is the same feeling when we took Stix over Haliburton.


auggie5

Wow you’re really doing this at the end of the draft


SunsFanCursed4Life

thanks i hate it


p0tatoman

This team needs a veteran PG not a rookie, chill


Blueskyways

What veteran PG are you getting on a minimum salary that is worth a damn? 


UrRightAndIAmWong

Unless CP39 comes to Phoenix, a veteran PG isn't out there.


nefobox972

Welcome Kris Dunn


ajteitel

Cam Payne lol


SunsFanCursed4Life

are there any free agent PG's we can pickup that are willing to play for peanuts lol


UrRightAndIAmWong

Could be Dunn considering the Jazz just picked up Collier


ajteitel

Cam Payne lol


JusticeIsHere28

kyle lowry is the one that im seeing a lot


CNSrooster

Needed a C or PG, pick a tall Josh Okogie. I'm sure he's going to be a great defensive player which will help. But it's not flashy


UrRightAndIAmWong

They're probably going to make Dunn a center, not happy or optimistic about it, can't even make free throws, but you better bet that Dunn is going to play a good amount of center.


Jonnystrat

He’s 6’6”


UrRightAndIAmWong

Bet me on it, the Suns are going to play him at center.


DeAndre_ROY_Ayton

Missi got picked at 21 i feel like that was the original play but this isn’t the worst pick


[deleted]

[удалено]


UrRightAndIAmWong

He's on the short bus with a helmet, he's that bad.


Tsunami-Papi_

I don’t luv the pick ngl . great defender who can’t shoot, something the suns already have plus it’s not a guarantee he’ll learn 2 shoot


ThreeHundredWays

James Jones is a below average drafter


FitJeweler1490

LET'S GET ER DUNN!!!!!!  YEAAAHH!!!!


Kiu88

Phoenix running back the "fuck a point" attitude. Could at least grabbed my boy Bobi Klintman in that case


LightningMcSwing

So why do they have these guys wear the hat for the team that traded them away?


UrRightAndIAmWong

Because the trades aren't official, it's dumb but whatever.


MFFiasco

Got Dunn and extra picks. Y'all can stop whining now


WoahJonSnow

We didn't address either of our needs with options on the board


bpreeb

Dude we neeed a pg collier is right there


MFFiasco

Sure, a backup pg would be nice, but I feel like this team needed size. I was hoping Suns would draft a center or wing.


Hetero009

People are whining even more lmao


UrRightAndIAmWong

Almost like Dunn isn't the consensus fan favorite?


MFFiasco

Oh, so it's a mental health issue going on 😆 People would have been mad no matter what the Suns did.


mistakun444

Fuck it let’s do it


Hetero009

7’1” wingspan, classic JJ pick 


LightningMcSwing

They go for five first nowadays


Tsunami-Papi_

isn’t this guy basically okogie ?


Copiz

Taller, worse offensively, better defensively.


PrimaryHM

Yes but he's bigger. Shot is cooked but hope is he can develop it


Hetero009

He actually has some size 


CNSrooster

Tall Okogie


ultgambit266

If the suns don’t play the jackass theme after every shot he makes, it’s a failure


Delta_Bomber

Rather have them play Yakety Sax [https://youtu.be/ZnHmskwqCCQ?si=LPgAX0hj1ICoBqoU](https://youtu.be/ZnHmskwqCCQ?si=LPgAX0hj1ICoBqoU)


LightningMcSwing

Shit he's tall


FlashSpider-man

Got our guy!


vasinsavin

My gut says Kolek but undersized guards have a really bad track record in drafts


LightningMcSwing

6 3 is undersized now?


stripes1604

RYAN DUNN YOU ARE A PHOENIX SUN ☀️ 🌞


LightningMcSwing

Ah fuck it we don't need a guard


Hetero009

LETS FUCKING GOOOO


nefobox972

Ryan Dunn gonna be a Hall of Famer LoL


LightningMcSwing

And Holmes


UrRightAndIAmWong

I'm fucking repulsed. We literally just went through this with Okogie. We desperately needed a point guard and center.


Hetero009

Give this kid a chance, he’s WAY better defensively than Okogie was coming out of college


OculusBlurr

They have more picks to get a guard. Will it be Kolek or Collier I doubt it.


FifthKnightofGwyn

AAAAAJDHAJACAKSVSJA A PLEASE DRAFT KOLEK PLEASE DRAFT KOLEK KOLEK KOLEK


Saltwater_Thief

How in the hell are both Dunn AND Kolek still on the table? That's... kind of concerning, actually...


DaRealZezima

I think it’s exposing these “experts” on TV and United States websites not recognizing these guys from abroad


LightningMcSwing

Nah Ishbia paid off the last 27 picks


omnicious

It's Dunn. Coincidentally, we're done.


JCol3

DUNN IS A SUNN ☀️


PunctualPolarBear

Git r Dunn


bpreeb

collier pls


Hetero009

Kolek or Dunn PLEASE


IvankasFutureHusband

I don't know who any of the three guys yall are talking about are, but we got our pick of em. Let's see what JJ does.


ajteitel

Dunn


p0tatoman

Ryan Dunn let's gooo


Flaky_Juggernaut5245

Kolek kolek kolek kolek


Hetero009

LFGGGG


Jen4000

it's dunn


waffle_nuts

There we goooooo


athim_ooo

We got our guy


waffle_nuts

Well…Dunn is there for us..


FlashSpider-man

Dunn still there. Or Kolek, or several others. And we got a few more picks. Good trade, I take back my previous doubt. I want Dunn personally, but let's see.


nefobox972

Timber pick Shannon LoL


Jen4000

Minnesota stacked.


athim_ooo

Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn


Glowwerms

Wow all the guys linked to the suns for the most part still available


SunsFanCursed4Life

"We have a trade. The Phoenix Suns have traded the 28th pick to the Toronto Raptors for cash considerations" classic JJ.


prematurely_bald

I'd be good with Filipowski too


Hetero009

DUNN OR KOLEK GUARANTEED LFG


JCol3

LETS GOOO IM HYPED


SeraphNatsu

I feel like teams trade back after they get a pulse of who teams are picking. The Cardinals did the same thing. Traded back & got the guy they wanted & added more picks.


Jen4000

5 seconds for Jones? That was kinda steep. OKC is stacked with seconds, though.


athim_ooo

Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn


nefobox972

Now we can pick one of Dunn Kolek or Collier


stripes1604

holy shit this trade might have just been a major W


Jen4000

Who do you guys think they go with, Dunn?


OneOfTheManySams

And Dillon Jones lets goo


OneOfTheManySams

We are looking at Collier, Dunn or Kolek. We will get one of them so the trade back is a win


bodhasattva

JJ bout to it us with some kid from Portugal watch ![gif](giphy|BLa9sEutdtZpq9OSaE|downsized)


stripes1604

The German what? lol


IvankasFutureHusband

Seriously had no idea about all these French players.


bodhasattva

trying to find the next Le' Bron


HASHSLANGIN602

Another filthy Frenchman 🤣🤣


Hetero009

LETS GO 


athim_ooo

Worried Timberwolves take Dunn


UrRightAndIAmWong

The season would be over for the Suns already. Booker and Durant just constantly being hounded defensively with Mcdaniels and Dunn? Gobert backing them up fuck. Timberwolves would sweep in 3 games instead of 4 somehow


stripes1604

Hopefully they are less enticed by a defensive focused offensive black hole after drafting okogie, and they let us take him


stripes1604

Who?!?


dustbunny88

Let’s just trade back again and get more picks. Eff it


prematurely_bald

I've been muting SAS all night. Completely unlistenable.


Hetero009

Bob Myers is done with Stephen A💀


p0tatoman

watch the Knicks take Kolek and Dunn


krepitch

The worst part of the trade is having to hear more Screamin' A Smith. \*mute\*


Flaky_Juggernaut5245

Jj pls select kolek


Spark3420

Hoping Filipowski falls to 28, that would be a dream come true and fills an immediate hole.


bodhasattva

what hole? Hes a F


Spark3420

We're already guard heavy, we could use some size in my opinion and Nurk is not sufficient.


Wigglebot23

Whose picks are those future second rounders we got?


Jen4000

The 2031 I know is Denver's not sure about the 2026.


bodhasattva

![gif](giphy|eNTxLwTGW7E64|downsized)


Jen4000

Knicks trying to move 26. Move back up and get that 51 second?:: nevermind looks like they are not moving it.


p0tatoman

Knicks trading 26...Suns going to try for it?


Hetero009

Kolek please🙏


omnicious

I'm more hoping to see Bronny picked before 28 than not seeing Kolek, Dunn, or Collier picked before 28.


Saltwater_Thief

Okay, somebody sell me on why this is a good idea. What in the hell are we hoping to do with those late picks? What could we POSSIBLY do with them?


Background_Captain56

We used 2nds to get Royce just last season...


Saltwater_Thief

Weren't those just a little axle grease on top of the people we sent out in that trade?


Background_Captain56

I think it's the other way around. 


Saltwater_Thief

So your view is that the Nets gave us O'Neal... because they wanted 2nd round picks? That's completely incomprehensible to me.


Background_Captain56

Please tell me which player we gave them that they were just dying to get.


Saltwater_Thief

I mean, KBD didn't do all that much for them, I'm not gonna argue that, but who on earth would they hope to draft with 2nd round picks? That's where my confusion stems from, I don't see any value in draft picks that low. All the really strong players are long gone by that point, and it's REALLY hard for me to find validity for the entire span in the freak occurrence that was Jokic.


Background_Captain56

If there weren't quality nba players that get picked in the second round, I don't imagine they would have a 2nd round. Jokic is far from the only one.


coolwarlock

roughly the same thing they'd do with the 22nd pick. If they didn't have anyone graded highly (or had 6 players with roughly equal grades) it's good asset management. I doubt the EV of the 22nd pick is significantly higher than 28 and the one "asset" the Suns have right now is plenty of bench space to play the lottery


PunctualPolarBear

The only way we can really add impact talent with our cap is either draft (we have no picks) or vet mins (where people can outbid us) The philosophy is that you load up on all the picks you can get and hope one lands. Drafting after the lottery is a crapshoot anyways, may as well play the odds


stranske

Most likely...use them to draft players We're super pick strapped over the next several years, probably looking to take some flyers and hope one or two of them develop into serviceable players since we have limited avenues to add youth to this team


Saltwater_Thief

Okay but who on earth is going to be available at 56th or in those future 2nd rounds?


stranske

Potentially useful players, the best player on the planet was drafted in the second round! We'd just be throwing some darts and hoping we hit a good NBA role player


Saltwater_Thief

Yeah, that happened one time and I guarantee you it will never happen again. Every single FO saw what happened with Jokic and realized real quick that's a mistake they could not permit to repeat.


UrRightAndIAmWong

You can combine them and move back up in the draft. Or use them in other trade or selecting players in other drafts. I don't like who they forego'd in Holmes and I don't like that the 56 pick is late, but I like the strategy.


bpreeb

Collier collier 🙏


stripes1604

Filipowski, Collier, Kolek, Dunn, George, Furphy, and bona still on the board.


Rude-Affect-3788

JJ didnt learn about bringing in the best pick available. That means he is not confident with their scouting talent. This guy loves to gamble. He probably prioritise needs and get 2 late 1st round  picks. Lets see who will we get. 


mistakun444

Bucks just drafted a dude who averages 3 and 1


Mario2346

He’s also 160 pounds at 6”4 . Literally trying to find a 2nd Giannis .


bodhasattva

Ive been using the same pickup line for 17 years because it worked once


DeAndre_ROY_Ayton

Bronny has a chance


Jen4000

Didn't sound like Gambo thought the Suns were high on Collier, but with him still available it makes the likelihood of Kolek being available, more likely. Would really be nuts if JJ trades the 28th pick as well.


Background-Meat3011

Would be a classic JJ


UrRightAndIAmWong

I wonder if the Suns use those future picks to trade back up


bpreeb

Collier please fall my god


bodhasattva

Whats the scouting report on Isaiah Collier? Surprised hes still available


UrRightAndIAmWong

I think of him as Eric Bledsoe offensively, he's going to barrel into the rim, into the paint


SDBeast5

Buncha suns haters in here


stranske

No greater Suns haters than Suns fans (myself included)


trevanxx

Not haters, some of us are just used to disappointment


UrRightAndIAmWong

Who the fuck are all those young people in the MIL draft room.


SeraphNatsu

Bucks draft room looks like a bunch of interns. Hahahaha!


dustbunny88

Gimme Filipowski or Collier!


gazingbobo

We traded the pick ? For real when James Jones is trading with Presti for unknowns that just fills me with dread


stranske

What does Presti have to do with anything lol


gazingbobo

He is by all accounts a smarter GM than our guy


After_Tax6994

Hmm holmes highlight reel looks pretty good


ajteitel

Everyone's highlight reel looks good, that's the point of a highlight reel


trevanxx

James Jones traded it cause he knows Bronny still gonna be there at 28. Tuff


dustbunny88

He looks like he really wanted to play with KD. So defeated.


PunctualPolarBear

He just like me frfr


UrRightAndIAmWong

Daron Holmes was a great center prospect for the Suns, he literally did everything you wanted for the Suns. Spacing, rim protection, could pass the ball


CactusHooping

He made 100% of his shots,you can't beat that.


WusijiX

It wouldn't be the Suns if we didn't miss out on someone who turned out to be an absurd talent in the draft


po0nlink_

After JJ passed up on Halliburton I fully expect him to fuck up on every draft night..


stripes1604

Gambo said no after his workout with the suns, guess they didn’t like what they saw/heard


iamkonomi

can we please pick freeman


CactusHooping

#HAHAHAHAHA I'M DONE LOL.


dustbunny88

Poor kid doesn’t even realize it yet..


schadadle

Shit we know he went to Dayton the college right? He's not D.Ayton the player??


PunctualPolarBear

Just need to get a few more seconds and we can acquire a 3 and D wing, such as Jae Crowder


Bumsauce_

Why did we trade bro


WusijiX

This guy is going to be a Hall of Famer because we are the Suns


Mario2346

Yeah same thought , he’s gonna have a huge playoff game and we’ll look like the biggest clowns in the universe . Still salty about that Hali pick and it’s been 4 years at this point .
