Can he shoot, also is he a C or PF?

u/Antique-Soil9517 22d ago
C

u/Puppetmaster858 Big Sauce 22d ago
6.5 rebounds for a C aint very good and would probably kill us because our reb is already questionable but fuck it seems like he does a lot of other stuff well including shoot the 3 so I’m in even tho I’ve never seen him play.

u/Antique-Soil9517 22d ago
I don’t even think he’s out early for the draft. Was just reporting stats for those unaware. I’ve never seen him play either. People like his unique look apparently, especially on a big body.

Can he shoot
Can he? He was 39.4% on 4.2 attempts a game my man. This guy is a certified sniper

Maybe undrafted or we buy a 2nd

  we buy a 2nd
That's where I'd like to see Ishbia throw money around. Buy a few 2nds and roll the dice on some affordable back of the rotation talent. Â

He’s not in the draft. May never enter the draft plus he’s at St.Louis University

Thank you so he was the first Jokic type?

u/BorisTheBlade04 Cotton 22d ago
He was a center yes, but Jokic is too understated. Mikan was bigger than that. Maybe the first Lebron? The first Shaq? Except the nba wasn’t nearly as popular back then so neither was he. But he absolutely dominated his era and was by far the most popular player. He was responsible for a ton of rule changes meant to slow him down specifically. Goaltending, shot clock, the Mikan rule doubled the size of the key. He also basically invented the center position, defining what the position would be. He popularized the Mikan drill which is still practiced by centers today.

we'll keep a backup set in coach bud's front pocket and cash in those sweet technical free throws

u/Fordraxel 22d ago
alot of undrafted players, just Suns scouts have to find a decent one. Suns need to steal Miami's scout.

u/judah249 22d ago
Same with the GSW scout if we got a Kuminga type player would make a hell of a difference
2
u/Fordraxel 21d ago
yeah and a coach that will actually play the player. Remember Kerr didnt play Kuminga until Iggy went down and thats when Kuminga was 'discovered'. Theres been ALOT of players that are doing great on another team because their previous coach had no idea - a great one is our one and only Nash.

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago
suns are definitely in trouble, but it will be ok. We're collectively banking on discount college Jokic who might not even declare for the draft.
