I picked Horford, but thats because last nights game showed how much the Suns need a guy like KT for the future.

Im not sure if Horford is big enough, and we all know that Dtoni wont play bigs, I think Brewer is the only one he will play

Brewer was the guy who impressed me the most throughout his career at Florida.

Brewer all the way, though I like Horford as well. I seriously doubt they pick Noah, with that ugly shot of his.

I am a Gators fan and watched lots of Gators basketball Oh-Fours played last 3 years. I would say Suns need another power forward/center and Al Horford would fit into Mike D'Antoni's run and gun style more than Noah. He can shoot from outside, block shots and pass. He is agile and also have a big body to bang with Duncan at best. Noah is an energy guy Suns would also benefit down the road. He is very agile too and can pass, block shots but I think until he develop a reliable jump shot ability like Amare and gain more weight. He won't have much playing time. As for Brwer unless Shawn Marion is traded I don't see why Suns need another forward like Brewer. Just my two cents.

I seriously doubt the Suns will have a choice, since they will either not have a pick or end up at #5 or #6. My guess is that the first four picks will be Oden, Durant, Wright, and Horford. There MIGHT be a team that would skip over Horford for Yi or Hibbert, but the odds are very low.

If Horford is gone when the Suns pick, then Brewer is probably the best available player. His role for the Suns would be to replace Jones in the starting lineup at SF with Marion moved to PF.

Brewer promises to be a be huge improvement over Jones. Jones is a better than average defender, but Brewer is an extra special one. Jones can blow shots but Brewer is a remarkable shot blocker. Jones is a below average rebounder while Brewer is an excellant rebounder due to greater quickness and much longer arms.

Neither Jones nor Brewer are exceptional shooters, but Brewer appears to be a more complete offensive player and goes to the basket better than Jones.

Against most teams, Marion at PF is a great move because he can defend and has the quickness to beat most big men. In last night's game, he all but forced the Spurs to go small.

I have no doubt that replacing Jones with Brewer would create an electrifying running team and a great perimeter defensive team. However, I still prefer Horford because Amare is not well suited to defending the low post and the Suns aren't going to wint the NBA championship unless they can defend the post.

Horford or Brewer, and I honestly think it will probably be one of those 2. If we get the pick, that is.

I really like Horford, but I LOVE Brewer. LOVE HIM. He's gonna be a superstar and the perfect outside compliment to Amare in the future. No one should kid themselves - that pick is more about the future than the present. It's a bridge from one era to another. The team, as currently constructed and completely healthy is good enough to win a title.

I voted for Horford, but the chances of him dropping to #4 or #5 are slim. Also, with the recent hype behind Brewer, he may not even drop to #4 or #5. I would take either one for different reasons... whichever is available. However, if I had to pick one over another, I choose Horford - We need athletic size.

By ALL MEANS NECESSARY - RUN AWAY FROM NOAH.

I've said it before, the Suns will take Noah or Yi.



I'm not impressed by Brewer's shot. If they take him, though, I'll be hoping like hell that I'm wrong. :shrug:
