I'm glad to see Dudley on the list. Also, didn't we try out Koponen? I never heard much about that and had high hopes.

You're right. I have no idea why DX did not have that included. But they missed some others like Strawberry too.

As I mentioned on another thread (the draft thread I believe) the announcer on Fox local news Phoenix interviewed Steve Kerr on TV yesterday. Now Steve Kerr did not say it, but the sports announcer said the Suns have worked out 50-60 prospects. I don't know when, how or where but it was a nice intelligent interview so there may be some truth to it. Perhaps the Suns have been working out a bunch of players we have not heard about. I know there were a number of players in the interview that I did not recognize other than Marcus Williams.

UA's Mustafa Shakur will be working out for the Suns on Tuesday. That should be interesting

Anyone still keeping track? I'd like to see a list of all the major (i.e. likely first round) players the Suns have brought in so far.

There seems to be some that DX did not pick up, but here is what they give.

While I dont think either is worth the investment it would take to reach a high enough lottery pick, I would grab noah before brewer. Brewer seems scrawny, undersized, and not nba ready.

 

[PhxGametime]

I'm not sure how to link stuff but on the Draft Prospects Thread, on Page 70, post #1042 lol there's a link there to a Chad Ford blog and it has some of the Prospects that worked out for the Suns, with some other cool stuff

There is a general belief that Brewer is a super "man defender" who can shut down anybody. If the Suns take him it will be strictly to deal with Parker (where size is irrelevant).

That seems like a lot for a guy who could turn out to be Stacy Augman one trick guy. Still, being able to shut down Parker would be huge.

So he would be like our bruce bowen, minus about 20 pounds.

Add Yi to the list. I guess some FO folks were in LA Monday checking him out.

[dodie53]
