I would be surprised if any of those guys are still around when the Suns pick in the second. Maybe Eric Williams, but I recall reading he had some horrible workouts.

no way that Bynum and Morris last to the second round.....much less until the #21. Morris has stud written all over him.

Morris isn't even listed on nbadraft.net.

he was a few weeks ago....higher than the suns picked. i havent really payed much attention to him since then, but i do know that he just officially declared.

realgm has him falling to the suns.
and i couple other places have him in the late first/early second....but i think he has gotten some interest since declaring.

I expect that the center types will go much higher than generally projected because so many teams need centers. The rapid progress of Jefferson on the Celtics gives teams hope that one the young studs will actually become productive.

I think Andrew Bynum will be long gone by the time the Phoenix Suns pick at #21. I suspect that Morris will be available, but I wouldn't take him. I think there will be better options. He really should have stayed in school.

A guy that intrigues me is to Dwayne Jones. If I remember correctly he was the defensive player of the year in his college conference. I can't remember which conference St. Joseph's plays in. He won't be around when the Phoenix Suns draft in the second round though.

the A-10. not a bad league, but not the tops this year. and you're right, he likely won't be around when the suns #57 selection comes up. wouldn't mind moving up in the second to take a flier on him though.
