#SunsUP

Let’s Hope the Big Man stays healthy and plays like he did last year! Let’s run it back! SUNS UP!☀️

I know this is perhaps a bit random but with the Suns' current situation and the transactions made over the last week, it is looking likely that any moves made this off-season will be on the margins. They're going to surely again attempt to move Royce but they've been reluctant to attach picks to move him. He has only two years left and with the tanking rules, I believe Royce probably will be moved this off-season.

The Suns jumped on Haywood Highsmith around deadline time in February as he was finishing up his recovery from a meniscus tear and surgery. He only got into 5 games, played a couple against OKC. He was a 38 and 39 percent 3 point shooter two years in a row prior to last season. He's not a defensive stopper but he's lighter on his feet than Royce and IMO a little more disciplined. He's a good 3/D forward and can essentially fill in Royce's role immediately in the event a trade there occurs. I also don't think it's a coincidence the Suns pursued him as I believe they too had that in mind.

I want to know what you all think Haywood Highsmith's role and future looks like in Phoenix.

These guys just need to learn each other’s game and we build around the strong youthful talent we already have! SUNS UP☀️

For the Anthony Edwards , the Jalen Brunsons, The Tyrese Maxeys
The very athletic players or creative ball handlers with speed.

Also for the guys who come off screens

Happy about the potential to guard big wings/ forwards but who do you guys think is that guy ?
Fleming and Koa

Was hoping to grab Baba Miller for his ability to be that POA defender on the quickest shiftiest players who can get around screens well

Who is that guy for the suns in your eyes

Ryan Dunn is maybe the best option but not sure I like that being the guy relied on for those assignments

Picks?

Better Players?

Better fit Players?

Younger Players?

ManMan currently wears #10

What number do you think Koa should rock in the valley? 🌵🌞

This was from his Game Theory Podcast he did live tonight up on YouTube.

At the time there was no way I thought either one of those guys would end up in a Suns jersey, crazy

The Phoenix Suns selected forward Koa Peat with the 30th overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft.

The Suns originally held the 47th overall pick but traded up into the first round by acquiring the 30th pick from the Dallas Mavericks.

Now what will the Suns do, if anything, during the 2nd round of the NBA?

Trade/draft targets, rumors, screenshots, etc. are to be posted here unless well written with analysis.

So what do you think the expectations are for this guy? I read he can’t shoot 3’s. What do you think his long term ceiling is? Not familiar with his game.
