We bring on Ian Levy from The Step Back, who ranked Deandre Ayton #30 and Booker #8 among under-25s this year

Tim, Dave and Greg talk all about the latest Suns news, including how Devin Booker is ONLY ranked #50 overall by SI’s Top-100 countdown, and then we go really in depth on the Suns rankings in The Step Back’s “Top 25 under 25”

Ian Levy joins us to talk about how they came up with rankings of all the young players in the NBA, all the way down to the Top 101 kids under 25.

  • Booker at #8
  • Deandre Ayton at #30 and the only the fourth-highest ranked 2018 draft pick
  • Josh Jackson at #40
  • Mikal Bridges #55
  • Dragan Bender at #92

(and Marquese Chriss at #94, while Deanthony Melton was an overlook but probably should have made it in a Top 100)

Thanks so much for @HickoryHigh joining us!
