PHXSUNS31 Intervention Needed

How crazy is it that in 3 years the Suns and Kings combined for 7 total busts in the 1st round and that doesn’t even factor in them both passing on Luka. Kinda hilarious.

The 2018 draft was STACKED, and somehow the Kings completely whiffed with #2.

Kings did make an even worse pick, but we also picked Josh Jackson ahead of Fox

Vlade Divac allegedly didn't like Luka's dad, so he went with Bagley, lol.
