D-Book will win some scoring titles in his career.

A very interesting player indeed. I'm a big Brandon Knight fan as you see in my avi and I just wonder how they're going to distribute shots between he, Booker, and Bledsoe...

I made a point to @Arizona_Sting in another thread that the Suns should look to dump Bledsoe on the Knicks, who's had one healthy season out of three in Phoenix...He then countered by saying the Knicks don't have anyone other than Porzingis that's worth a damn.

My question to Suns fans is, what kind of package would you look to acquire for Bledsoe??? Because IMO, he'd be needed to package in a deal for Porzingis, not the other way around....

He is already a very good rebounder.

But, the kid needs a few finesse moves.

Agree, I was shocked at how fast he is when takes the ball and goes end to end with it. However, he only has one speed when he does that and lacks touch around the rim. If he can develop that and a dependable mid-range shot he can be a faster version of Z-Bo, imo.

In a perfect world, Suns trade them both. I want a Dunn-Booker backcourt, but I know it won't happen.


I'd prefer keeping Bledsoe and dealing Knight personally, Bled is injury prone, and I think Knight is better suited as a sixth man scoring guard off the bench (a la Jamal Crawford) but he won't accept that role.

I saw a report that said Dunn won't workout, nor share medical info with the Suns because of the logjam of guards.

I wonder if he feels the same about the Celtics?

I think you guys are gonna draft Bender.

Just keep in mind that Minnesota don't have a good recent track record of collective success. Remeber when Kevin Love and Michael Beasley were hyped as the world-beating frontcourt of the future?:L
Did you just compare a #2 and #5 picks to two #1 picks?

I think Ben Simmons is going to be the real deal starting next season.

Booker is actually another good one. He will be a pretty good player for sure. I don't know about great though. I just think giannis has all the tools to be a great player. Needs a consistent jumper for that to happen

Booker already has one of the purest shots in the league and hasn't been intimidated since day one. He's 19 years old and had what.. five or six 30 point games? Kid is going to be a perennial all star.

He's going to be younger than most of the players being drafted this year.

Michael Paul Beasley will average around 18/8 this season.
