If the Hawks pick lands in the 4-6 range...

[fordronken]

Who do you want?

 

[Louis]

Al Horford.

Unless the Suns do the inevitable and trade Marion to relieve the salary situation.

Then I'd really like to see Thaddeus Young in a Suns uni.

 

[Gaddabout]

Anyone 6-9 or taller that's not a stick or a stiff.

 

[jbeecham]

Noah & Horford both sound pretty good. Thabeet would be a wasted draft pick because we need skilled big men who have a good basketball IQ or else they won't play. Brandon Wright could be a good pick as well, but the guy needs to get stronger and more NBA ready......they list him at 210lbs.

 

[Dback Jon]

Horford, then Noah

 

[hcsilla]

I really doubt that Thabeet will declare. He is huge and a promising C prospect but he is several years away from being an NBA player.

 

[hsandhu]

If noah is gone (say it is 6/7), how good is julian wright?

They say he is a more athletic Boris Diaw. Is he? Do we want that, or would Horford be better?

Ok, looking at Ford's write up on julian wright, he looks exactly like the type of
player the suns want, and tried to get in last year's draft.

 

[fordronken]

After hearing that the Suns were trying to figure out a way to trade out if Noah came out last year, plus the type of fit he seems like, I'd be really surprised if he was on the board when the Suns had a pick and they passed him up.

 

[sunsfn]

Julian Wright or Brandon Wright fit what the suns want to do.

Trading Marion is almost absurd at this point.

Are you guys watching the suns? Without Marion running and playing defense the suns would not be near as good as they are. The suns will not trade him this off season...........write it down!

Good thing nobody said that about Amare...

Oh. Wait.

 

[FArting]

greg oden Who is Yi Jianlian?

 

[hcsilla]

Good thing nobody said that about Amare...

Oh. Wait.

I guess you haven't seen Thabeet.

 

[F-Dog]

Noah and Wright are the obvious picks, I think.


Yi is a tall and fairly agile forward from China. He'd be great for the gate, but you always have to pull out a huge red flag every time you're discussing foreign big men.

 

[hcsilla]

Julian Wright or Brandon Wright fit what the suns want to do.

After watching some of UNC games I have some doubts about Wright. He is a great prospect, long, athletic, isn't afraid of banging up, loves to draw contacts but...I don't know.

He seems to be the skinnier and less talented version of Amare which still can be very good but...he is not a surefire pick, IMO.

Brandan Wright and Noah both look awfully thin with the wrong body type to build on. Neither would be a waste though.

Part of me wants to see us draft J. Wright and B. Rush and see who fits the SF spot best from Kansas.

 

[mathbzh]

When you see Noah running like a guard you know he is born to play with the suns.

I think that Noah would be a fantastic fit and addition to the Suns. I'm not so sure about Wright but I'm probably too nitpicking.

 

[panfolk]

I saw the game against UCLA and the man has passion and speed no doubt. Is he developing his jumper and can he guard an NBA C? I for one like the gamble.

 

[HooverDam]

Noah, Wright and Horford all seem like good choices. All fairly atheltic and good runners, though all need to work on their shots if they want to play with the Suns though.

If the Suns can get #4 pick, then they trade KT, #4 pick, this years 2nd rounder, and a 2008 1st round pick to get the #2 pick for Durant.

Then they trade Banks, and their 1st round pick via Boston from Cleveland to move up to get Chase Budinger.

With the Suns OWN 1st round pick, they grab Mustafa Shakur.

If Durant continues to impress as he has so far this year, there is no way that any team in the league is going to trade either of the top two picks in this summer's draft, for any package, period, end of story.

Looking like it... I'm holding out hope that we land the 4th and B. Wright plays his butt off so Noah slips to us.

Any of you Arizona guys think Budinger is going to declare this year?

I heart Budinger, but he's not coming out this year. He wants to play one season with Bayless before he jumps to the NBA.

Who's Bayless?
