[@isijr7899]

Kings probably draft another European center we've never heard of and then release him after two years lol

[@shadownesiaSGP]

Lax One Then he comes back into the league two years later and becomes a near all star.

[@johnyman9184]

Lax One Nope, kings will draft Doncic and play him at SF.

[@crazyluigi6664]

Assuming Phoenix doesn't do that now, of course.

[@jr.3308]

or draft the best shooter in college Trae Young and then trade him with all their first round picks to "clear cap space"

[@TomSNC]

Lax One lmfao

[@arodbarbosa279]

If the Suns don’t draft Ayton, I’m going to announce my retirement next Monday

[@arodbarbosa279]

hi i still think he’s going to be better than Luka Doncic. The Suns already have Booker we don’t need another leader who needs the ball in there hands. We need a Center and I think Ayton is the right choice

[@nathanprentiss7578]

Please take Ayton!!! I want doncic in Sacramento not ayton!

[@Righteous1ist]

Suns need a pg. I hope they get doncic so kings can get Ayton.

[@arodbarbosa279]

Righteous1 suns need a Center even more. I don’t want Len or Chandler in our starting lineup anymore

[@arodbarbosa279]

[@harrisonboogie]

Lowkey all the scandals from within the organization and Mark Cuban affected their chances...Allegedly. Lol

[@ronf.2029]

5th spot is not that bad. I think they are looking to draft a big man or SF. From 3-5 Bamba, Bagley, Jackson and Porter are available.

[@chironjo]

Frankie Russell Ha ha

[@chrisbeach423]

So did the grizzlies...the grizzlies are usually in the playoffs every year though, I wish they had got top 3 but #4 seems alright..

[@fireysparkz9583]

at least there are some great players that will still be there they will be in the range of bamba and bagley because look at the teams order Suns-Ayton or Doncic Kings-whoever suns don't take and then after that i think it's a toss up Hawks-i know people say Bagley but they got a nice PF in Collins, they should get Bamba in my opinion Grizzlies-Porter because they don't need a big at all with Gasol still there and they probably wanna get production after that blunder of a contract parsons has Mavericks-Bagley falls to their lap and it's a perfect fit, him next to dennis smith and harrison barnes gives them a good core 3 to build upon and dirk is returning next season right imagine what he could learn from dirk by his tricks, shooting, and post up game Bagley to the mavericks i like a lot

[@JAHKAMREN]

Bro, De'Aaron always coming through.

[@rockstarr3032]

If we don’t draft Ayton, we are worse then the Browns

[@alan9247]

Rockstarr303 you really think they would fuck this up?

[@reedaraiza8622]

Alan the Sun's new coach used to be Luka Doncic's coach he likes Luka a lot, but all sun's fans want Ayton because he lived on Phoenix and went to Arizona for college too so they better not fuck this up

[@alan9247]

reed dollaz420 exactly, with him we would make a formidable team, not all star but decent enough to win some games, hopefully via trade we can acquire another playmaker.

[@johnathanpatrick6118]

Rockstarr303 Worse than the Browns?! No, don't say that!! 😂😂

[@RTrainingSAL]

Rockstarr303 you already are! When was the last time you were in the playoffs??

[@anthonyaquino123]

CPGoat #3 idk why ppl are raving about Jaren, don’t get me wrong he’s good but I don’t think he’s a top 5 pick good

[@shanenelson5811]

Nani?!-Agreed. Bridges and Porter Jr are better prospects in my opinion. People rag on Porter for a season in "Misery" but let's be honest. Before his injury scouts said his game was far and above most other players because he can put the ball on the floor and score from all over the court. He reminds scouts of a better shooting Jayson Tatum. That is scary to think about. I think if he is healthy? He is a steal. I like Colin Sexton from Alabama, Bridges from Michigan State, and Porter Jr. from Missouri after Ayton and Doncic. Bagley just doesn't seem like he has a definitive position in the NBA.

[@anthonyaquino123]

Shane Nelson yea I believe porters stock will rise after the combine and practices

[@derekcastillo949]

DBook finally gonna get that help!!! Yeeeeeee!!! Jax gonna be out there too he wants ayton bad lol. He knows what’s good.

[@yameenabassi9746]

they have always been trash

[@Keezus.]

its not their fault the nba fucked them over. 🤷🏾‍♂️ They should of had the #1 pick in 2012, they had the worst record and team in nba history, but the league rigged the lottery like always and gave it to their new franchise the pelicans. That pick proceeded to become Anthony Davis. If the hornets received the pick instead of the pelicans Anthony Davis and Kemba walker would be on the same team right now

[@thomash226]

IceGumpz704 The hornets will always be complete garbage.

[@yersidotel4609]

You know whats funny, the fact that 4 of the top 5 picks all belong to West, people like to say that the east is weak, this is partly that reason they can’t draft future superstars. 😂🤦🏽‍♂️the west stays getting all the good players man

Marvin Bagley to Sacramento! Deuces!

[@hibachi2014]

JAH KAMREN y’all getting doncic y’all got z-bo who old now but skal get better every year

[@jessealexander9852]

1) Boston would be smart to trade kyrie coming off an injury and contract year for the Suns 1st pick and build their young roster out 2) Suns would be smart to trade the first pick to Spurs for Leonard. The Suns would have Booker, Leonard, and go after PG13 to increase their defense and adapt to small ball NBA 3) Suns would be fools to trade Booker to kings for the #2 pick so they would then have all the picks in the first round plus josh Jackson. They would be a young team

The suns should no doubt take Ayton at #1 especially since it’s a bigger need but no shame if they take Doncic. Doncic will go #2 to the Kings. Fox and Doncic will share ball handling duties and Doncic can guard the 2 or 3 and can hit 3’s.

Sun's don't mess it up. Draft Luka Doncic. A tall point guard in the mold of Ben Simmons & Magic Johnson. Don't even think of drafting Ayton, the local center or the other biggy Bamba. Get your other needs (preferably PF or Center ) with the 16 pick you obtained from Miami.
