Phoenix Suns Draft “Their Guy” After Trading UP For Oso Ighodaro

Phoenix Suns Draft “Their Guy” After Trading UP For Oso Ighodaro

I haven’t gotten the details on how they got there but I do know that this was the guy that they wanted MCO Hometown kid Chandler uh my notes that’s why I had to double check I remember you know he’s a senior he’s uh he’s going to be 22 years old soon uh in July uh the thing with him is he has a neutral wingspan he’s about he’s he’s 610 almost 611 but he’s got a 611 wingspan uh so that was one of the notes that I had on my on my not T-Rex arms though no no no neutral RNG fan uh this is interesting man this is interesting this is funny because we watched so much film on Tyler collect and and they wound up getting his pick and roll partner yeah pick and roll partner I mean and that’s the interesting thing G is when you do watch the tape on TI collect this kid pops all over the film this kid pops all over the film he was basically the guy that KCT was hitting on most of his uh assists and and and stuff at The Rim again 611 222 uh you know he can he can do some things with the ball G he can do some things with the ball that’s that’s some of the notes I had on him uh was you know for big man his assist ratio was pretty good so I I don’t mind this this is one of those swings you take and you need a back a big and so you might have gotten him hey he’s actually actually in the draft room too look at that although they’re saying he’s a Portland Trailblazer but we know he is a Phoenix Sun by way of Portland by way of New York uh now A Phoenix Sun I’ve been liking the the a draft guide from our friends over at No Ceilings and they put him as a potential Wendell C Carter Jr damont sabonis type so what was that say that again so no ings one of the draft websites has him as a potential Wendell Carter Jr damont sabonis time again when when I the the film I watched on him he can do some stuff with the ball like he’s not just this big that’s going to rim run he’s got some versatility he can do some things with the ball he can he can pass the ball he can put the ball on the ground so he’s he’s intriguing this is again I did not see this coming uh I did not see the Suns trading up the 40 um but I had them on my board and and I like what I saw and if you like if you saw the title collect tape you see this kid pop all over the place so is this the rim running big that you were hoping Rim running big with a little more versatility though yeah what in terms of what let’s think in in terms of Coach Bud’s uh you know system how do you how do you see him fitting in in what coach Bud likes to do I mean listen you know bud wants to stretch the floor he wants people that can shoot the basketball and again this kid this kid is very versatile um a little I don’t I don’t want to say raw I don’t want to say raw um because I think he’s a little better than raw but I untap potential some things that I think that when you look at the tape there you don’t you you look at them and you’re like man there’s some more things that this kid can do potentially in the right system so I actually I don’t mind this pick I I don’t I mean this it’s it’s one of these things where you you got to hope that he actually reaches that potential so but I like what he can do off the ball so playmaking with the ball playmaking Rim finishing rebounding is kind of this kid’s calling card it doesn’t sound like Rim protection shooting is high on that list though what his strengths are yeah he’s not a floor spacing big um he is a little bit underz at 6′ 10 so that’ll be something to keep an eye on but the playmaking thing is interesting for sure yeah I’m trying to get clar ific on how exactly the Suns got to this point because 51 was owned by the Knicks so we’re trying to figure out they have to attach something but they can’t attach cash so it would have it’s probably one of the other seconds I would assume so but I’m yeah little we’re trying to get clarification on this I I highly doubt that the uh that the Knicks are looking to absorb anybody else’s contract so to kind of reset here uh the Suns obviously yesterday uh we’re at 22 traded down to 28 and acquired the 56th pick in the second round and then also acquired two additional first round or second round picks as part of that today they were sitting at 56 they’ve now moved up to 40 which was originally Portland’s pick which was then traded to New York uh 56 has been traded to New York we’re trying to find out what else has gone to the New York Knicks so now uh the sons have uh Wing Ryan Dunn out of Virginia and alsoo igodo out of Marquette the center uh the 611 222 Wing uh excuse me center from Chandler Hometown kid coming back here to the valley Gerald once again you called it you told us at the beginning of the show look for them to trade up in this round you told us last night right uh to look for them to trade down you’ve been right on the money here yeah well I’m getting I’m I haven’t gotten the details on how they got there but I do know that this was the guy that they wanted I I can confirm that this is the guy that they wanted to get and they were able to get him at number 40 uh we’re still figuring out what they had to give up to get there the details are a little unclear at this point in time um but he’s one of the best passing bigs in the country what I see so that is that is an that’s an asset for a team that could use more of that um behind Yousef nerkish because as we know Drew EU Banks last year catch the ball in the short roll kind of short circuit like we were used to seeing with da a little bit there um so I I’m I I want to dive more into his film before I I speak and say things that aren’t true about him yeah uh but I do know I can tell you that the suns were high on this kid and they’re pretty happy with what they’re going to get at number 40 here yeah again uh his ability with the ball he’s a guy that in dribble handoff spot setting screens getting the ball up top is not going to be afraid to put the ball on the ground create offense attack the basket hit a shooter hit a bounce guy so again what I saw on film was a guy that had versatility in that spot I don’t know that it’s the it’s the holes that we were quite looking for I think we were looking for more of a rim rolling big that can block shots and play defense and do those things they kind of went with a big that’s a little more versatile offensively that could do some things so I this one I got to I got to dig a Little Deeper now well I have to I guess it kind of makes sense I wonder how much coach Bud was was involved in the evaluation process because maybe he saw something in this kid that he thinks could fit in his offensive system

Center Oso Oghodaro is a Phoenix Sun. The Suns traded up to snag the center out of Marquette. We share our initial thoughts on the hometown kid and what he’ll bring to the Suns on the PHNX Suns Podcast.
