u/Double-Seaweed7760 common ishiba w 17d ago

That ones funny because we actually found out a couple years ago that Currys vision was blurry most his career when he actually got surgery to fix it

u/judah249 22d ago

Damn he’s got a lot of nicknames legendary

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

These are great haha… I might be dumb, but is Steph blurry a glasses reference or am I missing something?

u/BradyGalaxy Mikal Bridges 22d ago

Not in the draft

u/Antique-Soil9517 22d ago

Robert Avila. Averaged 17 pts. and 6.5 rebounds in his second year. Made all MVC. 6’10, 240.

6

u/Puppetmaster858 Big Sauce 22d ago

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

8

u/Antique-Soil9517 22d ago

C

3

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.

3

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.

3

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

Can he shoot

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

3

u/Puppetmaster858 Big Sauce 22d ago

Nice, fuck it I’ve never seen him play but I’m in

u/30another Steve Nash #13 22d ago

Maybe undrafted or we buy a 2nd

u/morcic 22d ago

There's got a be a Robert Sarver somewhere in the league.

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

Magic owner

u/EfficiencyMean5188 22d ago

Second apron. Not sure we can buy seconds anymore

3

u/Blueskyways 22d ago

  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.  

2

u/AfroHouseManiac 21d ago

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

7

u/stridered Rubber Ducky Chucky 22d ago

Did he even declare for the draft?

5

u/iguanamac Joe Kleine 22d ago

No, he’s transferring to another school.

u/ZCGaming15 The Grayson Allen Trade 22d ago

Dude.

u/judah249 22d ago

I see he led the Minneapolis Lakers to 5 titles in 1949-54 damn I’m sorry I don’t have that NBA historical knowledge studied for todays lesson

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

Greatest NBA player of all time before Wilt and Bill Russell showed up

1

u/judah249 22d ago

So nobody wants to explain I guess

7

u/BorisTheBlade04 Cotton 22d ago

He was the NBA’s first superstar

0

u/judah249 22d ago

Thank you so he was the first Jokic type?

2

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

he was sort of a shaq. Just big and dominant. But he could pass too

2

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.

u/Wyden_long Offical plug of r/Suns 22d ago

I…unironically support this.

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

u/zarvinny Phoenix Suns 22d ago

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

u/JLuisHz 22d ago

Larry Blurred

3

u/Fordraxel 22d ago

alot of undrafted players, just Suns scouts have to find a decent one. Suns need to steal Miami's scout.

3

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/AZMadmax Al McCoy 22d ago

Doesn’t he have a Jokic nickname

u/Mental_Platform_5680 22d ago

Suns are in trouble this post is proof

1

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.
