Camara has been flashing greatness, so I think the regret there is real, especially if he continues to develop. Also, Ayton has loads of potential and could be an allstar going forward. It’s also clear he didn’t want to be in Phoenix anymore. Phoenix has to regret not being able to fully tap into the potential of their #1 pick, but the management, previous coach, and possibly teammates didn’t jibe (beyond that “mere” finals run, which isn’t too shabby if you think about it).
I see what you did there and i like it
Toumani’s optics just capture the perfect picture of a young player with an aperture for growth that could really zoom out into something beautiful. Hard not to press the button of opportunity there.
I’d pump the brakes on the “Young Player” tag.
Camara is a Rookie who will be 24yrs old in May.
You need to have proper perspective of a 23yr old Prospect vs a 19yr old.
Of course he’s going to look more developed since he’s literally had 4 extra years to work on his game and should be more filled out physically.
but still being paid as a rookie that's the 52nd pick. That's just a little more than 1m.
The Suns are going to need contracts like that to fill their roster going forward. The fact that someone is NBA-ready physically but still that cheap is really important considering how much they are paying for their top end.
If this guy is good enough to be a rotation center, even if they're unplayable in the playoffs, then that is a big loss. Doesn't have to be a homerun. That is a really low salary.
dudes just tryna make some camera jokes
