For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

In the 2015 draft, I wanted Phoenix to get a promising big. I had my eyes on Willie Cauley-Stein. When I got snapped up at #6, I thought “that’s okay. Myles Turner is still available.” And then when he got taken at #11, I just crossed my fingers that Utah wouldn’t take my last bit of hope away by drafting Trey Lyles at #12. Watching that happen, and seeing Phoenix settle for a Shooting Guard who wasn’t even a starter in college, I don’t think I even kept watching the rest of the draft after that. I was so disappointed to have Devin Booker.

Fast forward to now, and Suns fans are debating if Booker will eventually retire as the greatest Sun ever (and spoiler: it’s a resounding yes).
