Since Jrue Holiday came back, they haven't lost a game and they have been blowing opponents out. Anthony Davis is playing the best basketball of his career (he made Towns look like a bum yesterday). Buddy Hield is yet to translate his shooting into the NBA but when he does, he is going to be a problem. Tim Frazier looks like a gift from God for Katrina. Terrence Jones is looking like a good fit. And Tyreke Evans should be back from injury soon.

I'm picking them to make the playoffs in the competitive west. Who do ya'll think?

A sleeper to do what? Make the playoffs?

It is amazing what just adding ONE NBA caliber player back to the roster could do for this team though. And Jrue isn't even in the top half of his position.

Yes, to make the playoffs.

Jrue got the 76ers to the playoffs before he was shipped. He's a solid player - consistency is his biggest problem. He and Tyreke have the same demons.

I'd trade Eric Bledsoe & Brandon Knight for Jrue Holiday right this instance.

He has better pg skills than both of them combined.

They've finally started to win a few games since Jrue is back and you want to trade him and kill that chemistry :comeon:

Suns fan? :Holdupnow:

At least y'all got Booker breh :to:


We'll be back:obama:


Hope they don't ruin Book, tho.

He's been playing injured all year.

Turf toe & bad ankle.

Don't know why they haven't sat him out for a week or 2

like the Lakers are doing with DLO.

It's obvious watching the games.He's not getting any lift on his shots.

Man Tim Frazier needs to be given a lot of credit for how well he has been playing. He looks legit. And he actually gets AD the ball (which has been a frustrating theme in past years).
