1./2. Josh Smith or Shaun Livingston
3. Andre Iguodala
4. Ben Gordon


LOL, who would have guessed that two high-schoolers would wind up at the top of slinslin's list? ;)

I know I have explained this before, but I'm bored right now. :)

I think the reason I would like for the Suns to draft Josh Smith or Livingston is that I would then feel that the Suns believe he is a superstar in the making. If they take one of them I will expect great things.

another reason i want livingston is his height would allow us to play barbosa or milos at shooting guard in different lineups. :thumbup:

Jay Bilas says that Livingston is a magician with the ball in his hands and that the ball is an extension of his hand. ;)

On the other hand Jay Bilas also said Livingston is a great athlete which I don't think is true concerning his vertical leap.
The alley-oop he catches is pretty nice but it is not like he has a lot elevation it looks like he is simply pretty long and SHOULD be able to catch an oop at 6'7 and growing.

Livingston's height is intriguing, but I still think he's going to be a defensive liability at least until he gets a stronger. I have trouble believing he will be able to defend most of those smaller and quicker NBA point guards, and most of the shooting guards will be too strong for him.

Well I don't know how exactly they are testing lane agility but he measured quicker than all the small points. He has also played PG all the time and should be used to covering smaller guys.

If he has good footwork his wingspan and length will make it tough for smaller guys to drive on him or shoot over him.

yeah, i definatley don't see him guarding shooting guard immediately, but as he gets older his body will fill out.

Livingston looks like the first "boom or bust" pick in the draft. It seems unlikely he will fall to #7 but the Suns have to be in a position to make a decision because he could.

Right now is certainly looks like he goes to either Charlotte or the Clippers following a trade down with the Hawks. I'm not clear on what the Hawks would do if no trade is made and Livingston gets by Charlotte.
