Live Draft Watching Thread

i'll be happy if he makes me sorry, but i won't expect it.

i'll say this, i may not have booed majerle, but i didn't know who he was.

i did boo nash and marion selections, so if that's an indicator, great. the difference is that i only knew a little about those two also, unfortunately i've watched a LOT of robin lopez and i think he sucks. we drafted a SECOND rounder with the highest pick we've had in ages. he's varejeo/turiaf/powe all over again and THOSE GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN IN THE 2ND ROUND!

I'm missing something, what were you expecting at 15? If you can get someone who turns out to be anderson varejao in the middle of the first round that's decent.

 

[Cheesewater]

but as bit players. if you removed them from each team the team still has a great likelihood of making the finals.

I doubt anyone right now is expecting Robin Lopez to be a franchise player.

Porter just said they picked him for defense. I hope he has some good D...

I have no idea, Im watching on tv like a normal person

OJ Mayo goes #3 to Minny. I was hoping they'd reach for Love so I could laugh.

Instead you could have laughed at Mayo wearing glasses because he was advised it made him look more mature(true story I have a source). He doesn't need glasses but with all the stuff going on about him being paid since 8th grade he was advised that wearing glasses would be good for his image so he did it.

Centers picked four in a row.

I doubt anyone right now is expecting Robin Lopez to be a franchise player.

I doubt anyone right now is expecting Robin Lopez to be in the league in 5 years.

 

[JoRain]

Personally I like this pick. Finally there will be someone on this team who play's defence and gives a heck about rebounding ! On top of that he is young and 7 footer !

I don't think he is a bad pick

 

[Covert Rain]

Please oh please let the Suns having something up their sleeve. This guy will never be a star or a franchise player. This would have been a great potential bench player in the bottom half of the draft. However, in the top 15??? The Suns must see something I don't.

Is Noah better than Robin Lopez?

Disagree. Give him a chance.

 

[HooverDam]

Disagree. Give him a chance.

Do you watch college basketball?

Is Noah better than Robin Lopez?

By a mile.

 

[sunsallday]

Vomit. Wait. Voooooommiiiiit.

 

[TJ]

perma d-leaguer.....just watch

 

[Mainstreet]

By a mile.

Then the Suns should have traded down and gone for quantity.

 

[LV-Suns]

All these ex-spurs in our team is doing an excellent job.

 

[AfroSuns]

I like the pick, which is geared towards better defense, and there is no way he wont blossom under Shaq tutelage

 

[sunsallday]

Sure. Cough*D-Leaguer*cough

 

[TJ]

does Alexis look like Diaw???

 

[Muggum]

He won't be out of the league. He's better than that. I've watched Stanford a lot, and Robin is better than the Collins twins. I know that doesn't say a lot, but he's just a better athlete. Stronger. Better shot-blocker. Faster. Not as good a shooter as Jason was in college, but that may come around.

That said, no Stanford player will ever make a true difference in the NBA. Brevin Knight is the best we've turned out, followed by Childress.

Robin is a utility guy... backup center... active... will sell a lot of frizzy wigs for Sarver.

And he WAS improving over the course of this season. A lot. At the beginning of the season he was truly awful. By the end, I trusted him more than Brook, even on offense.

Suns working hard on getting #31 or #34 from Minnesota per Gambo.

Bill Walker , Nicholas Batum, DeAndre Jordan, Joey Dorsey, Serge Ibaka, Darrell Arthur, Donte Green etc one of those could be there and make me happy.

 

[HooverDam]

Yah because Shaq has a long history of mentoring young bigs.

 

[Diamondback Jay]

My loyalty is weakening.

Then perhaps you should go root for the Celtics or whomever the flavor of the moment team in the NBA is.

Sorry, I don't care if the Suns kept selling picks, loyalty runs deep.

 

[Mainstreet]

Draft coverage extended on KTAR radio because of possibility the Suns buy/trade for early Minnesota second round pick.
