Q: The Suns won 28 games in ’87 then selected two rookies in the ’88 draft who are now Head Coaches. One in the NBA, the other in the NCAA. Who are they?
In the latest edition of King of the Court, Chris Almeida (an editorial assistant for The Ringer) celebrates the incredible performance by Tyler Ulis against Isaiah Thomas and the Celtics.
"PHOENIX SUNS – Full Record (12-25) / Since Last Time (6-10) Resolution: Trade some Vets to free up more time for some Rooks. The Phoenix Suns have one of the worst records in the league, which is no surprise to this loyal fan. How they have managed it however, I am weirdly impressed by. After hitting late lottery luck in the form of Devin Booker last season, then drafting two very young/raw bigs in the draft, as well as having other young pieces such as Ulis, Warren & Len; the Suns were in for a developing season. Or so we thought hoped would be the case. Instead, veterans such as Chandler, Tucker, Dudley and Knight have eaten into the 240 minutes there are to go around and the kids have sat on the pine. Even still, they continue to suck! Time to trade a few of the above, free up the rotation and at least suck with a purpose."
Brett Pollakoff says that he thinks so in an article on the Fox Sports website.
I recently found a video of the entire game on YouTube. The video quality isn't great but it's very watchable. This 3 OT game is still considered one of the greatest NBA finals games ever. I hope you all enjoy it.
