CBS SportsLine grade

Take it with a grain of salt... he gave the Memphis Grizzlies a "B" which is ridiculous.

Phoenix Suns

The Suns targeted young Serbian big man Zarko Cabarkapa about 10 days ago, and had no problem getting him with the 17th pick overall. He's 6-11, 240, can shoot from the perimeter and run the floor. He's precisely what they wanted to add, and as if that wasn't enough, they also swapped a future draft choice to San Antonio for Brazilian guard Leandro Barbosa, who is a spectacular defensive player, can shoot extremely well and now just has to learn how to speak English and play NBA-style ball. But the Suns don't need to push him, and his athleticism is remarkable. Grade: A

I think barbosa is gonna be very good, another big time suns draft success. I have no clue what Chewbacca is gonna do, but i trust the suns

The Suns targeted young Serbian big man Zarko Cabarkapa about 10 days ago,

That first sentence blew any credibility the writer had with me. The Suns have had their eye on Zarko for almost 3 years when he played at the local Desert Classic back in 2000.

Still it's good to hear people saying good things about the Suns and their draft.

Seems thay say alot more about Barbosa, but I am equally excited about BOTH picks...


I am so glad the Suns are never scared to pull the trigger at an attempt to improve!

That trade as exciting as it was, didnt surprise me at the least. Man its good to have good management!
