Except it's maybe not because there's a HUGE problem with African "teenagers" having their ages faked in other sports, especially soccer.

There's no evidence of Maker having faked his age beyond scouts whispering about it

I know it happens (there was a dude in Canada pretty recently) but it's a dick move to accuse someone of it without evidence

The big problem with all those dudes is that they're not just satisfied with posing as a high schooler so then they gotta go gently caress a 14-15 year old somewhere along the line.

Especially since Cousins has the ball so much. As long as he doesn't have to actually lead an offense, he should at least be a rotation player. Even though he has absurdly long arms and can't loving finish to save his life.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

WhyteRyce posted:

I'm pleased. Yeah I wanted Knight but a shooting big is good and picking up an extra pick isn't terrible in this draft. I like some of the guys at the end of the first

I think Vlade has a decent chance to talk him into coming down too since it came out today he said he wasn't going to come out this year to the Suns.

I know it's a dick move but it's kind of like Dominican baseball players, where it was such a pervasive issue that they were generally just presumed to be older than they were and MLB teams did due diligence to make sure that the guys they were signing were actually the age they said they were.

Holy cow the Suns are having a hell of a day. I was hoping for Bender or Chriss, but both- wow! One pick and roll guy, one pick and pop guy, nice. I was thinking the Suns traded 13 and Bledsoe or Knight for #8, but to keep them both and get the #8 is crazy. Seems like an awful trade for Sacramento, I don't understand it for them at all.

Suns really have a nice core now and can still likely move Knight or Bledsoe at some point this year for further assists.
