According to Owner Robert Sarver, the Phoenix Suns were supposed to be done with the rebuild. However, after six games it is obvious that they are far from, so while they should still play to win the game (and as many as they possibly can), they should also give their young players a chance to see what they’ve got to offer, and maybe find that they have a diamond in the rough.
Elie Okobo is not like most second round draft picks. He comes to the Suns with professional experience in France, and was a very accomplished player at that.
