The more I think about Martynas Andriuskevicius being picked by the suns at #7, the more I think that will not happen.
He is a long ways away from playing in the NBA. Yes they can leave him in Europe for a couple years, but he may never reach the potential that people think he has. He has had a number of minor injuries and has missed games because of it. Now this may not be a major concern now, but big guys are certainly more prone to injuries than smaller players. This guy is so skinny he can not compete against 6'9" players under the basket, and is not in any so called senior leagues where there is tough competition.
If the suns trade down that would make more sense. Then they could wait on him a few years and if he does not pan out it would not be as important as losing a #7 pick.
I think that he will pull out of the draft.
