[George O'Brien]

I think the Warriors are about ready to give up on Dunleavy and will take a more athletic guy to play the #3 They have looked at some power forwards, but that is not a real need for them. They might take Frye to get some scoring at the #5, but we are showing him gone by now.

My best guess would be Wright, Webster, Granger, or Graham.

 

[PhxGametime]

Danny Granger and Antoine Wright IMO are the BPA right now but Frye would've been perfect...

Is this the team, that Chris Taft struggled for?

 

[PhxGametime]

I'm probably going to have 20 choices for the Suns Pick


Coloradosun: at ESPN Insider, the final days in camp... it mentioned Travis Diener is the best PG in camp.

Me and Colorado have been pimpin Diener for a while, so it's good to see he is moving up the draft board. I would LOVE to be able to move up in Round 2 and get him, but I don't think it is likely. He would be the ideal PG to groom for the next couple years under the tuteledge of Nash-ticular.

 

[George O'Brien]

Diener is far too slow to be a serious first round pickup but too good to drop to 57.

The only problem, I didn't want to say it because I've said it several times: is that Ford said with his size, he may go undrafted.

I would be pimpin him but I'd prefer to Draft Francisco Garcia possibly at #21 and then there really wouldn't be a need for a PG. JJ could be the back-up PG with JJack and Garcia on roster and with Barbosa, the team really wouldn't need a 4th PG.


If a big drops in 1st Round, Diogu, Taft, Warrick, etc. then maybe that's the direction to go in 2nd Round but Garcia is pretty talented...

 

[PhxGametime]

Warriors select Danny Granger.


Danny Granger F New Mexico: Not a great athlete but will suprise with athleticism, excellent 3PT shooter that can play the 4 in a system like the Suns, strong rebounder, averages 2+ in shotblocks and steals, nice size with skill set
KEY STATS: PTS 18.8 STL 2.1 BLK 2.0 - COMPARISON: R. Lewis

He is the same size as John Stockton was and is the same size as Chris Paul. May not be as good as athlete as Paul but is a better shooter ala Steve Kerr. Utah has already has had him and I can see them jumping on him if he comes up at #34. The only way that will not happen is that if they prefer to go with Dan Dickau as a FA, who being a former Gonzaga alum like Stockton, may be a better buy. The Suns set the mold last summer by turning around a team by adding a veteran point guard instead of drafting Devon Harris with the 9th pick. The Jazz may follow suit.

I just don't like the idea of Garcia, I just don't see what others do.
