The only guy I would've taken over Zo was Fox. That's the only other guy I could easily see building a contender around

^^^ And Rubio hasn’t exactly been blessed to be in great situations in the NBA. For a guy who’s best attribute is passing, not being surrounded by a ton of talent was a disadvantage.
And Utah was a good team, but not the best fit for him because of the slow pace they played at.

Not everyone loves it. In fact, my wife and son hate it I use things they said against them during an argument.

How do you think he will do with the Suns? It seems like a good fit, I just don't know if they will win a lot, it's still a dysfunctional franchise.

I think they will still suck, but he is a really good addition for them. He'll have a huge impact on Ayton.

Agree. If they play uptempo and really give Rubio the keys to the offense, I think he’ll put up very good numbers.
But the West is stacked so they’ll still be once of the worst teams in the conference...

His job is legit just to feed Ayton and make him better. Put him in positions to flourish.
He's a world class passer. I think he can do it.

Booker not having to play the role of facilitator will benefit Phoenix greatly too.

What's interesting is that they got high win projections from FiveThirtyEight 37 and Pelton 38

They’re going to score. Stopping people is going to be the Suns’ issue.

how does that make sense if Booker a world-class playmaker?
Because Booker is still more of a scorer and Rubio is just as good of a playmaker. Having Rubio there is going to make things easier for Booker and will make him harder to defend.

Ayton is definitely capable of putting up some crazy numbers, especially with an actual PG now.

I want to see Ayton shoot 3s. His jumper is smooth and he's a good FT shooter.
Dude about to be unstoppable offensively as long as he actually gives a ****.

Never forget he said this on draft night
NEW YORK -- Deandre Ayton was asked Wednesday to define what success in the NBA looks like to him.
"Definitely getting to my second contract; that's my success," Ayton said at media availability for top lottery picks.

how does that make sense if Booker a world-class playmaker?
Booker's style of play is better suited when he's not playing the role of the point guard, plain and simple, regardless of his abilities as a playmaker.

Been an Ayton guy since I saw him make Josh Jackson almost cry in high school. He's got all the tools to be a dominant big in the league, just hope he puts in the right work and stays motivated. 16 10 and 2 at 59% shooting with 1 block and steal a game is a pretty damn solid rookie year.

He had a fine year, but he got overshadowed because he was in a great draft class with Luka and Trae drawing moar of the attention. He ended up being an afterthought and it wasn’t due to anything he did or didn’t do.
