Or - who would you like Utah to have in their sights? I'm not sure who we have in our sights but we definitely need to get more versatile/athletic on the wing. But our GM said the same things last year and we passed on Desmond Bane and Jaden McDaniels for a backup center, lol. I think we take one of two approaches, either we swing for the fences on a raw athletic, toolsy guy. Or we take an older, safer player with less upside who can contribute immediately. The raw guys I'd approve of would be JT Thor, Greg Brown, Bones Hyland, or Jaden Springer. But I don't think Springer/Hyland make it that far down the board, it's 50/50 if Thor does. The more developed/lower upside guys I'd approve would be Ayo Dosunmu, Miles McBride, or Herb Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending half his youth development on football and one weird COVID year at Gonzaga I expect him to bust out as a full time pro basketball player. I agree that Suggs will be good, he's a good athlete, good defender, pretty good playmaker, but a very streaky shooter. So as I said, a Lonzo Ball type of player.

I think it depends on how they feel about Gary Trent Jr and Pascal Siakam. If they're going to bring back GTJ then they already have a solid starting backcourt. And Siakam reportedly wants out of Toronto so Barnes makes sense because he'd be an instant replacement and would allow them to move Siakam for other pieces.

Suns should have kept the pick to get a guard on a rookie contract. the bottom of the draft will have several good options. Nets could use this pick and trade up with their own first rounder.
