     So questions for everyone:

    Some of the top picks are now in that random phase of their career so a sort of 2k type set of questions lol:

    If you were you Phoenix would you have Traded the fourth pick and a future pick(say 2018 pick which would be a top 6 pick) to LA for the 2nd pick and taken either Ball,Fox or Taytum? 

    Will Futlz have a bounce back season with Orlando or will he be out of the league in 2 seasons?

    Who will have the better season Ball or Fox assuming both are heathly?

    and

    What will happen to Taytum,Kuzma-now that he is in an elevated role with out Ball feeding him/Covering him on defense and Josh Jackson this season?

    1. Hindsight is 20/20 here but if Phoenix could do it over again I’m pretty sure they would have probably taken fox at 4 instead of Jackson.

    2. Given that fox has firmly entrenched himself as the starter and Sacramento appears to be building its offense around him, while ball has kind of stagnated in his development thus far and there is uncertainty as to what his exact role will be in New Orleans, my money is definitely on fox having the better season this year. 

    3. Tatum could have a breakout year. His role in the offense was never really defined last season. He tried to expand his game but wasn’t quite ready yet and the offensive structure didn’t really call for it. He should be more of a focal point this season and I think his numbers will reflect that. 

    4. Kuzma needs to expand his game beyond scoring and needs to shoot better from 3 to be effective playing alongside lebron/AD. He has a natural feel for scoring and playing off the ball, but he needs to do it in a more efficient manner going forward and round out the rest of his game. Hopefully the foot injury won’t set him back too much. 

    5. Jackson unfortunately has bust written all over him at this point. While there are certainly improvements he needs to make on the court, it seems like getting his life straightened out of the court is the bigger priority right now. He’s still young and could turn it around but the signs don’t seem particularly encouraging right now.

       1. Don’t disagree there Fox would have been an interesting pick.

      2.Interest take both will be in an interesting spot Fox with a new coach and Ball with a new team and coach. So will be interesting the Pelicans training staff and new shoes for Ball make difference and if Fox can work under Luke W.

      3.Fair call I really hope Taytum does improve on the defensive end.As I kind of see a PG lite or at least a Melo/paul pierce(in his prime) like career for the guy.

      4.I will also be interested to see if his game expands beyond just scoring…As I wonder if he is just a volume scorer and if his numbers and efficiency will drop even further with Lonzo not being there and setting the table for at least 2-8ppg for him.

      5.Yeah seems a little like a Knuckle head I kind of see him as either a center or Pf that is where he seems to do ok rather than SF…A high energy guy that can do a little bit of everything..
