deandre ayton Or KP who will have the better career?

By the way I love KP but Ayton is in a league of his own.

A couple of things that worry me about Ayton. One, he reminds me of Greg Oden. One injury away from being forgotten. Two, his game is better suited for the 80's and 90's.

Think they want out of the top 2 as Ayton and Doncic may have the biggest bust potential. Trade down to 3 to 8 and pick up another pick may not be so dumb.

The game is all about space and pace, and the suns are not a half court team by any stretch of the imagination. I think the best player in this draft will be picked outside the top 5.

I agree.

This was one of the potential proposals mentioned last year, along with another one from Boston.
I remember Ainge being quoted as saying a trade was unlikely because Phil's asking price was too high. I wonder why this rumor resurfaced?
