If we take Holiday at 16, who should be there, I would be very pleased. I know he's been slotted in the early 20s, but I think he's worth the small reach.

If we don't move up, I expect him to be our target with the 16th pick. But then again, I'm hitting below the Goldschmidt line as I've been surprised by almost every move and non-move we've made during the McD era.

Not many of us are able to predict the mind of McD.

Mainly, I'm answering you to ask what the heck is the Goldschmidt line. Probably a reference to some movie, since I lag behind on knowing such things.

The assist to turnover ratio on Holiday (5.8 to 3.8) concerns me a bit but I like him otherwise. I will rely on the opinion of those who have seen him play. His speed, ability to penetrate and shooting are attractive.

I am sure that Steve is mimicking the Mendoza Line, representating a very low batting average.

Holiday has second Suns workout, this time with PG competition in Brunson
PHOENIX — UCLA point guard Aaron Holiday was the first NBA Draft prospect to have his second workout with the Phoenix Suns this year.

This time around, however, he had some competition at point guard with him in the workout.

Villanova point guard Jalen Brunson joined in on the workout, his first for the Suns. Both point guards are projected to be drafted in the mid-first round to early second round range, where the Suns have Nos. 16 and 31.

I don't know if it's representating:cool: or not but yes, for those of us that are fans of the Diamondbacks, it's a sad statement/reality on our favorite player. Paul has spent too much of this season hitting around 200.

Phoenix Suns bring in UCLA point guard Aaron Holiday for second workout

Let’s presume that Deandre Ayton knows what he’s talking about, and the Suns will take him with the No. 1 pick in the June 21 NBA draft.

The question then becomes, whom will Phoenix select at No. 16?

General Manager Ryan McDonough has said the Suns likely will look for backcourt help if they go with a big man at No. 1. It was instructive, then, that UCLA point guard Aaron Holiday had his second workout with Phoenix on Thursday.

He has his .362 over his last 12 games some lets hope he can keep it up because that teams needs it. The trade for Jay should help too.

Does anybody have a list of the players invited for repeat workouts. I believe it's part of McD's m.o. to bring in players he likes for a 2nd visit. I seem to recall both Reed and Peters were here for 2 visits. It seems to be a bit of a telegraph by McD as there were only a handful of players invited for a 2nd workout last year.

I think Bordow said that Aaron Holiday is the first player who has been in for a 2nd visit. I suspect we'll be seeing that happen more this next week though.

For some reason, I thought they've had the UofA guys in more than once.

All three sounds good. If Brown could be an Iggy rotation kind of guy that sounds sweet. We also could use a quality lead PG like Brunson, or someone like Holiday as a Barbosa kind of guy.

Knight being mentioned along with Booker and Jackson is good and bad. Maybe he'll share the ball, or he'll be a cancer.

This seems weird to me. But I suppose you have to do your full due diligence.
I saw a Doug Gotlieb interview a couple of weeks ago and he said Bagley would be his pick at #1 overall...said he has the highest ceiling and highest floor of all rookie prospects.

Has less defensive upside than any of he bugs imo.
