I'd take Crabbe if OKC doesn't grab him.

Suns are on the clock! They made the big trade!! They moved up from #30 to #29!!!! Yeaaa!!

 

[slinslin]

our one trade in the first round is moving up from #30 to #29???? -_-..........

Ledo or Goodwin..

 

[Quagmire]

Chad ford is saying the suns traded up to #29. Who is so important for one spot? Franklin....

 

[Folster]

Suns trade up one pick to get Archie Goodwin?

 

[Lefty]

Goodwin it is.

 

[slinslin]

Goodwin I like that.........

Youngest player in the draft, talented but needs to work on his perimeter shot a lot.

 

[Folster]

Why would we trade up one stinking pick? What did we do give them a stick of gum?

 

[sunsfan88]

Ooo Archie Goodwin, I don't mind this. Its a good pick, I like it. A lot of untapped potential and he's as athletic as any guard in the draft.

 

[Superbone]

The steal of the draft?

I don't mind drafting Archie but I really thought he'd be there for a 2nd round pick. Just seems like a wasted trade.

I really like Goodwin. His ability to get to the rim and finish/draw contact is fantastic. If he ever develops a reliable jumper(big if) his ceiling is as high as any wing in the draft.

 

[Bufalay]

So the 30th pick went from Miami to CLE to LA to PHX to GS?

 

[Cheesebeef]

i'm okay with this pick.

 

[sunsfan88]

Lol Coro says Suns see Goodwin as PG...and on ESPN they just finished saying that the reason Goodwin didn't go well in Kentucky is because he was asked to be a PG and he's not a PG, he's a SG.

You value youth almost as much as Sarver values twins.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns decided to go with a young player with potential at #30.

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 5m

The #Suns see Kentucky's Archie Goodwin as a point guard. They talked about aiming high on potential at the end of the 1st round.

Wow. The Suns kept the 30th pick and drafted another guard or will it travel to GS?

 

[Raindog]

For what it's worth, CBS Sports draft analyst graded the Len pick as an "F" but the Goodwin pick as a "B+".

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd like for the Suns to pick up another second round pick.

 

[Chaplin]

For what it's worth, CBS Sports draft analyst graded the Len pick as an "F" but the Goodwin pick as a "B+".

Yeah, Len at #5 is an F, but Zeller at #4 is a D+.

Moronic, even to someone that didn't like the Len pick.

No #30 will be send to GS.

It really makes me wonder why the Suns went up one slot at very end of the draft. Did they actually think there was a good chance GS would have taken Goodwin? Or was it cause they wanted to make a trade just for the sake of making a trade so they can please the fans.

The 76ers have some kind of weird fetish for injured centers that can't play.

I got excited for a moment.

The trade from #30 to #29 is strange. There must be a story behind it.
