NBC Sports Zion Williamson will go first overall in the NBA Draft on June 20th, of this we are certain. Other than that? Insert shrug emoji here. The only other thing you can guarantee is that there will be trades: last year’s premier trade was the Luke Doncic-Trae Young swap between Dallas and Atlanta. There is no guarantee that there will be one of that magnitude this year, but teams are actively looking to either bolster their present roster or build for the future. Let’s

Mid-Major Madness Brandon Clarke is one of the top defensive prospects to enter the draft in recent memory. He is an elite on-ball defender with very high-level lateral quickness that allows him to stay in front of his man and be an effective perimeter defender as a big. He is a superb shot blocker; his 11.4 BLK% was good enough for 11th in the nation this season. Clarke is talented enough as a defender to be a lock for the Lottery, but needs to develop his offensive reper

Heavy.com Let’s start this piece with saying that Devin Booker has an incredible offensive skill set. His level of scoring ability isn’t common in today’s NBA and the Suns are lucky to have gotten him at pick 13 in 2015. For being a late-lottery pick, nobody was expecting to see the numbers he’s been putting up. In fact, his numbers are so good, he’s one of only 14 players in the NBA averaging at least 23.0 ppg and 5.0 apg. These numbers have lead many around the NBA to prais

The Arms Race in the East NBC Sports LeBron has left the East and the Big Four now each thinks it has a chance to make the NBA finals. Three of them were very aggressive at the deadline; let's start with the Philadelphia 76ers. After coming up empty-handed in free agency this past summer, the Sixers determined that their best course of action was to go into free agency owning the best players’ Bird rights. They acquired a very valuable set of rights in Jimmy Butler early in t

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Three idiots walk into a trade machine... Raise your hand if you just got traded to the Suns. (AP Photo/Brandon Dill) WHAT IN THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the greatest non-trade in NBA history. I can’t wait to have grandkids just so I can tell them about it. So, the Suns, Grizzlies, and Wizards agreed on a three-team trade that looked something like this: My initial non-Suns thoughts on the trade: “Trevo

Oregon Live The Lakers deficiencies at the center position have been well documented. Outside of JaVale McGee their most capable player at the five is rookie Johnathan Williams. The signing of veteran big man Tyson Chandler will help fill the void at the spot. Phoenix’s decision to buyout Chandler immediately brought up the immediate possibility of Los Angeles as his next destination. The new Lakers backup center was originally selected by the franchise with the number 2 over

Image Courtesy of The Players' Tribune LeBron’s departure has left his former teammate, Kevin Love, in no man’s land. He’s the lone All-Star in a island of misfit toys that is the Cleveland Cavaliers. While his production has certainly waned in his time since leaving Minnesota, he’s still one of the best stretch big men in the league and a nightly double double threat. Love still has a lot to offer and his skills are best utilised outside of Cleveland, who should be looking t

The Suns finally have a chance to draft the franchise-altering star of their choice, and the fans just can’t be happy about it. It doesn’t matter which camp you’re in, no one can seem to argue for their guy without completely disparaging the other. Depending on who you ask, Luka Doncic is a European LeBron James who has been balling up professionals since he was six months old, or he’s a fat, slow Holocaust denier that likes pineapple on his pizza. (I know…gross.) On the othe
