[slinslin]

I pick Ariza because of his cool name.

 

[elindholm]

Shouldn't we pick someone for Orlando first? The Suns' new acquisition is the second pick in the second round.

Anyway, I take Tony Allen. I'd rather have a shooter than a random longshot big-man project.

 

[slinslin]

Orlando will take Duhon.

 

[fordronken]

The fun thing about a high second round pick is that good players can fall through, or gambles that you don't have to guarantee contracts to.

 

[PhxGametime]

Where is Herve Lamizana on list?

 

[PhxGametime]

Suns did workout Darius Rice as well.

 

[sunsfn]

I do not think the suns will take a guard on this pick.

 

[slinslin]

Well ok I was just taking the guys who had at least Q&As on suns.com

 

[F-Dog]

I was just thinking--didn't Maciej Lampe fall all the way to the second round last year?






(Podkolzine)

(Podkolzine)

yup....and boozer the year before and arenas the year before that.....

 

[slinslin]

I don't think Pavel has buyout issues.

Who kept voting David Harrison late in the first round? He would surely look good at #31 now.

 

[F-Dog]

I don't think Pavel has buyout issues.

Podkolzine has plenty of other issues.

Honestly, though, even if Podkolzine went into free-fall, I doubt he'd last past San Antonio's #28 pick. That pick will probably be publicly available for trade, just like last year.

 

[JCSunsfan]

The big Korean kid is available. He's probably as good a prospect as Pavel.

 

[George O'Brien]

I don't think Pavel has buyout issues.

Who kept voting David Harrison late in the first round? He would surely look good at #31 now.

I mentioned him in another thread. He's a head case, but might be worth a second round gamble.

 

[perivolaki]

Good Guess

Got this one right. I was the one who picked Jackson Vroman. Not really fair though, I've seen him play a lot on TV and really liked his game.
