It would be nice to bring him in but I just don't know why he'd do it unless he knows he's never going to be more than a decent NBA player. If he waits one more season he won't be forced into the 4 year rookie deal (not to mention the restrictions that apply at the end of a rookie deal).

I think McDonough will use his age as one of the reasons he should come to the NBA now so he can better carve out his future. Also the Suns will sell their plans on how to use him (maybe some time at SF) so he can get more minutes. He will turn 24 in August. He so wanted to come to the NBA that he attended the 2014 NBA Draft. I don't know if this will be enough but I hope so.
Just a thought, but I'm not hearing much on Warren these days.
Bring Milos\\\\\Bogdan over! He only lives once (as far as we know). He should be in the NBA.
If we can manage to swing Knight for an inside player or a point guard we can have a depth chart something like:
Bledsoe / PG / Archie / Price
Booker / Bogdan / Archie
Warren / Bogdan / Tucker
So he has the opportunity to get playing time as shooting guard or small forward. Archie and Tucker can be pieces in a trade if need be. They do not look like they're part of our future core, but maybe Bogdan can be if he proves to be a real NBA player, not like Sonny Weems.
A rotation of Bledsoe, Booker, PG, Bogdan and Warren should be fun and better than last year, given that they're healthy and playing instead of wearing street clothes from the Clotherie on the bench.
Not sure who that PG would be. Is Dunn good enough? Do we go for another combo guard but this time making it clear that it is a 6th man role?

I'd draft Jamal Murray who is combo guard in the best way if the Suns draft 3rd or later. Just watching him play (video) he might be have the potential of a Devin Booker. I would love to see a back-court of Bledsoe, Murray, Booker and Bogdan. As you suggest, include Knight in a trade for a PF.

I would be all for Hield or Murray, but only if they trade knight.

I like Murray the most because I believe he can play PG in the NBA plus he is a solid scoring threat. This is a tough combination to beat.
I don't think you pass on a possible star player because there is another option on the roster. IMO, draft BPA.

Murray can play PG in the sense that Knight can play PG. Not something we should really want to see. Murray has slow feet and benefitted from playing with the best pg in the country. Kid can really shoot though.

I liked how Murray played PG in the Pan American Games, plus his shooting and height. It's my thought he can play PG which elevates his status in my opinion.
However, if the Suns do not get one of the first two draft slots it would not surprise me if they do not trade out of that pick in a trade with a team that wants a PG or a SG. Of course I'm not sure how the Suns feel about Dragon Bender or Domantas Sabonis.

Who will be the better NBA POINT GUARD, Ulis or Murray?

Better player, I don't know. Better point guard, Ulis easy IMO.

It's a tough question. I would not consider drafting Ulis at #4 but I would consider drafting Murray at #4. Ulis may be the better PG but will his skills translate to the NBA? It can be done by looking at players like Avery Johnson, Ty Lawson and Isaiah Thomas.

Bogdan just led Fenerbahce to a win in the Euroleague Final Four semifinals. He had 18 points, and he scored 9 of those in overtime!
I believe the championship game is on Sunday. Go Bogdan!

It is really intriquing to see what he could be here. Manu type of player?

At 6'8"-216 and with the pro experience he has amassed, is there any reason why Bogdan could not be our starting Small Forward next season?
And work well with Booker (who is two inches shorter and a little lighter), our starting Shooting Guard?

Because he is 6'6" and 205? I hope my numbers are wrong and yours are right. I would love to have him at sf. I still think he could play sf or sg.

Bogdan is not 6'8, and he not strong enough to guard SFs. TJ Warren should start, and Bogdan should start by backing up Booker. No need to rush him. He will probably be able to cover the SF spot here and there, but let's not anoint him a starter.

Any chance you were looking up Bojan Bogdanovic?

Which one do the Suns have again? Is it Zoran or Harpo?

Welcome to Amareca
Bogdan is around 6'6

You are right. Bogdan is 6'6"-205. Bojan is bigger.
I wondered why they showed him on the Brooklyn Nets.

It looks like the Suns should be interviewing Bogdan soon as CSKA beats Fenerbahce for the European title.

That's funny. But no. Not brothers. Thay aren't even the same nationality. Bogdan is Serbian, while Bojan is Croatian.
And Bogdan is more talented, of course!
