    WTF! What is happening. The guy has so much potential.

    WOJ couldn't even type right, this is a shock. Suns needed a PG though. Ulis/Canaan hadn't worked.

    He can get a shot. He's still young. Has as good a shot to create something as Lonzo...

    Mudiay = E. Payton

    Major draft bust PGs that can't shoot are worthless in the league now more than ever.

    Yes that means you too Rubio.

    Orlando always ends up giving their players away for absolutely nothing

    Good thing he can up the ante with the Suns and be a starting PG as he develops. He's only 23.

    that or hell probably just get passed on to another team just like all the other guards theyve gone through trying to "develop"

    How much potential does he have if Payton can't realize that his hair is ruining his career?

    That is a massive steal. I really like him as a player. Good pickup for the Suns as a building team.
