I mean, they bypassed Luca. Imagine the hate if the Jazz had done that. . .

It's amazing to me that he was literally HomeyTennis level trash when the Suns picked him up. It just tells me that there are so many teams out there just killing talent with napalm because they suck so bad at teambuilding.

They drafted Ayton, not exactly a bust.
imagine if the Jazz took Trey Lyles instead of Devin Booker. Haha right? Oh wait…
So yeah, guess Phx could’ve done better. But they haven’t whiffed like we have.

I mean, we are the freaking #1 seed in the NBA. Seems to me we have done just fine.
Woah wait a minute here.
In the following two years after drafting Booker, the Suns had the 4th overall pick in both drafts. They used them on Dragan Bender and Josh Jackson.

Yep, we had the best record in the regular season. Had we not ****ed up so bad in the draft we could’ve drafted players to offset some of our glaring weaknesses on the wings that will most likely be exploited in this round.
This completely ignores that we turned Trey Lyles into Donovan Mitchell.

Jackson doesn’t suck. Bender does. I remember Rudy making him look like a fool. Amazing how they retooled this roster to bring in length, athleticism, and shooting. They look like the best team in the west right now.

We could’ve had Booker.
We had to trade the 24 and Lyles for Spida when we could’ve just drafted Booker.
If we had drafted Booker we wouldn't have Mitchell.

And???
His year 4 stats are pretty similar to Trey Lyles. You can't say the Suns "haven't whiffed like we have" if you don't consider Jackson at #4 a whiff but Lyles at #13 is. Throw in Bender, and this debate is a wrap.
