start rebuilding by taking a project center in the top 5................ idiotic... 9/10 project centers in the lottery are busts.

 

[elindholm]

I think they made this pick because they couldn't get Jake Tsakalidis to come out of retirement.

 

[Folster]

Maybe a deal is in place for Gortat.

 

[JS22]

lol

 

[sunsfan88]

I can't believe we did this. Len??!!

What about Voskuhl?

 

[Kel Varnsen]

He's 225 pounds?

 

[SirStefan32]

Maybe a deal is in place for Gortat.

That's what I am hoping for.

 

[Mainstreet]

Or, if you're the Suns, when in doubt go white. They've done it forever.

I hope you don't think it's a race thing. I'm excited the Suns drafted a center.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Just disgusting. Anyone want to wager who has the better career, Len vs. Noel/McLemore?

Bang up job MacDonough!

 

[carey]

I like Len, I do, but not at the expense of Noel or McLemore. Makes zero sense to me.

 

[Folster]

Kings get McLemore

 

[JS22]

There's GOT to be a Gortat trade ready to go. Why draft Len when we already have Gortat??

This.

I'll bet the Suns find their way back into the top 15.

 

[Phrazbit]

I dont even have the words...

I expect to look back on this draft with extreme levels of bitterness in the coming years.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Well, that means it's a lock we'll draft CJ Leslie with the 30th. It seems we're enamored of talented big guys with inconsistent motors. They might both pay off big but I always hate that kind of gamble. Give me smart, give me passionate, give me driven and let the other fools draft the guys who look like they should be a lot better.

They could have traded Gortat after picking Noel. Or they could have picked McLemore and then use the pick they acquire for Gortat to draft Adams.

This is just a bad pick, no other way to put it.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 28s
The Sacramento Kings will take Kansas guard Ben McLemore with the seventh pick, per source.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len was projected to go #1 on Draft Net and #4 at Draft Express.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Agreed completely.

Such incredible patience is almost unheard of from you.

[splitsecond]

This franchise just went from joke to tragedy. Unbelievable that you pass on McLemore for ANOTHER ****ING CENTER!!!!

HAVE WE NOT LEARNED THIS LESSON??????

 

[bankybruce]

Sam Smith ‏@SamSmithHoops 1m
5. Alex Len. Well, bye bye Marcin Gortat. Is Len the next Michael Olowokandi? How do you have a top 5 center and not make the NCAA tourney

 

[Cheesebeef]

call me a racist, but a big, white center, who's a project with motor problems and couldn't even dominate...or even play very well in college?

that's a GREAT pick!

That's not racist. I'd just as soon never see us draft another white center too but it's not racist, it's simply numbers.

If we trade Gortat for MCW I'm ready to give them an F for the draft.
