Bender moves SO fluidly.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

Missing his shots but looks very comfortable and assertive.

How has Chriss looked?
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Booker only went four spots ahead of Rozier last year. I was really hoping he would fall. He's going to be a star.

Who does Booker remind you of? He's going to be a real good player.

I had really wanted Bender, so I'm curious to see how he turns out.  Brown was my second choice so I'm not disappointed.  I was hoping we could have drafted Bender and traded up to get Brown.  Then I was hoping that we could have gotten Maker with the 16th pick, but then he went 10.  So far I'm happy with Brown but regret not getting Maker.   After one SL game my eye test says Maker > Bender.

Jay King made the Brandon Roy comp on Twitter. That's probably the best I've seen; he's pretty unique.

Roy was a good shooter. I think Booker will be elite.

I just caught a few of the Phoenix/Portland game.  Bender was carrying the ball with every dribble.  He's 1 for 7 from 3 and the one he made was an accidental bank.

That's why I'm happy with Brown, even though he missed shots too, and I really only regret Maker not being available at 16.

I was hoping for Maker with the 31st pick.  I couldn't believe he went so early.   I didn't see him play yesterday.  I hope to catch one of his games.

I knew someone would fall in love with Maker and take him in the lottery. These GM's can't help but drool over potential. It's like fish to water.

Devin Booker sounding very confident in post game interview. He scored 28 of the Suns 86 points.
