I know what you’re thinking. A majority of your Suns fan life — or at least the parts you remember most clearly these days — has revolved around events like the NBA Draft Lottery, Draft Day and Summer League.
You’ve spent an unhealthy number of hours pouring over YouTube videos and publicly available scouting reports of college and international prospects to spot and obsess over the exact perfect fit next to Devin Booker to revive a moribund franchise.
You’ve ingested prospect rankings like they’re a drug, developed an opinion on every guy on the list that looks like he could be drafted by the team, and even probably attached your heart to a fringe guy you’re absolutely sure will be a star in the pros even though he’s ranked in the 30s or later by the so-called smart people.
