[Mark Antony]

Natural

I'm asking who is it

 

[Coupé It]

Is it really underachieving on Ayton’s end? He’s doing all of the things he was expected to do. People just see his body type and see freak athlete, when he’s actually a stiff hip, not fluid movements guy.

Facts. Terrible footwork and coordination. He’s so useless sometimes. It’s sad.

 

[Coupé It]

Suns should be bantered just as much as the Hawks are for passing on Luka.

At least the Hawks got a good player.

Suns got a waste man.

 

[lovehateself]

Natural

so neither

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

just last week asking when you try to diminish what Jokic does

How's that diminishing? He's the greatest big man of all time

Ayton has his flaws, he is limited, but he is a good player when he actually puts in the effort

Second, no they don't. Ayton was the damn near consensus #1 pick going into the draft. They made the choice most people were saying they should make. In hindsight they goofed, but at the moment they made what most people feel was the correct choice.

 

[geno90221]

so neither

Taylor had work done?

 

[nelson999]

Lyles was money. Monk giveth as much as he tooketh tonite haha. TD was a nice spark as well. Lyles needs more minutes again even when Sabonis ain't fouled out

He did but he had a bunch of nice plays in OT.
And usually its 90% tooketh lately so this was a nice change

 

[elpablo21]

oh no

 

[Mister Meaner]

Taylor had work done?

Oh boy, here it comes…

Na.

I’m not giving organizations outs for passing up on a generational talents.

You don’t draft on “fit”. You draft on talent. The better player should always be drafted.

 

[geno90221]

Taylor got fake cake?

 

[king j]

Russ top 10 all time in assists and not one of MLGA acknowledged it. Really sad how they’ve treated this legend and his family

Drop the charade bruh

 

[storm2006]

Sacramento passing on Luka because Vlade had static with his pops is one of the greatest urban legends of that draft and about why Luka fell to #5

 

[dman14]

Rooks got a wagon. On that oregon trail

Not everyone was sold on Luka, people damn sure weren't saying he would be a lock to be this good

This is just Monday morning quarterbacking masquerading as a cogent take

It’s not Monday morning QBing.

Plenty of people knew how good Luka was. Lots of people knew the things he was doing in the second best league on the planet were unprecedented (and he was doing them at 16-18 years old).

 

[king j]

This like a double entendre

 

[RustyShackleford]

It’s not Monday morning QBing.

Plenty of people knew how good Luka was. Lots of people knew the things he was doing in the second best league on the planet were unprecedented (and he was doing them at 16-18 years old).

Yet damn near every mock draft had Ayton at #1

Yet the Suns didn't get dragged in the media for taking Ayton after the draft

This is just the same old tired take. Somehow there was this big consensus about Luka being the clear #1 choice in the draft, and the Suns goofed.

That is just not what happened. No matter how much people try to pretend it is

 

[elpablo21]

Ayton is Monday Morning QB'ing to me imo

Bagley? That's a different story
