New Suns General Manager James Jones did not want to rely yet another 19 year old from the 2019 NBA Draft to improve a 19-63 team that already had nine players under 25 with 4 or fewer NBA seasons on their resume last year.
Here is Jones all the way back in January being all prophetic to Bright Side readers:
“When you draft as high as we have in the draft, top 5 / top 10, that’s a potential proposition where the best player could fit you right now may be a college guy — a four year guy someone who’s more mature 22-23,” Jones said to us.
