I want him 1 more year with the Suns... giving up some minutes to Cam Payne and mentoring him for 1 more year to see if Cam has what it takes to take over

All I know is that I'll be very late to understand the genius of whatever Jones and Williams decide to do.

I'm with you on Schroeder but I don't think they are ready to give up on him yet.

Westbrook is interesting but there's only 1 ball and with Lebron and Davis I'm not sure how that would work out as he's Mr triple Double. See James Harden.

Also, the Lakers need depth given Lebron's age and Davis's shaky health situation over a full situation.

Strange to recall he was in the same class as Mustafa Shakur, where they were ranked #1 and #2 at PG.

I'm a big believer in expertise but I've come to doubt that basketball talent evaluation is really a thing. I agree that a lot of coaches know how to evaluate talent to a degree but that's not who's been ranking high school players. And I bet even the best evaluators like Lute would have had a hard time distinguishing between the potential differences between the 17 year-old brains of Chris Paul and Mustafa Shakur.
