Thursday's workout will go big with Duke's Josh McRoberts, Colorado State's Jason Smith, Nevada's Nick Fazekas and Alabama's Jermareo Davidson.

As per Arizona Republic.

I have no enthusiasm for any of these guys. I get really tired of reading about big men who can shoot jump shots but are adverse to contact, don't play physical defense or rebound.

Let's be clear about the problem. If you let Burke play 15 minutes a game (rather than 3 minutes every three weeks), you'd probably get more offense than any of these guys. He can shoot, has nice low post moves, and good hands. Burke didn't play because he couldn't play defense.

Anybody but me have the thought that the Suns might be thinking about moving into the second round using a first round pick and say Banks or KT to reduce salary but getting a second round pick in return?

Size but all horrible..

Fazekas can't jump at all, Davidson is very raw, but Smith is solid while McRoberts would be a huge steal at #24.

Just the fact that a potential lottery pick that is not projected as a defensive stopper or rebounder only now scored more than 21 points in a single game after two full seasons is a bit appalling in itself. His draft stock will likely be as volatile as anyone’s if he’s indeed going to do as expected and enter the draft.

Defensively, McRoberts was absolutely smoked by either of the NC State big men he tried to guard, whether it was Ben McCauley or Brandon Costner. They established position on him at will, backed him down in the post, and then got him in the air with a simple pump-fake to open up a clear angle for an easy layup. Part of this had to do with the foul trouble they quickly got him in, but McRoberts clearly needed to show a little bit more pride by not letting players score on him so easily on this end of the floor.

Well at least they gave Davidson a look lol I've always liked his game, if they were impressed cool, if not then at least he got a look and as much as I didn't want McRoberts with Hawks Pick, he too could be a nice fit for mid to lower 1st Round.


Davidson and McRoberts can block shots if anything; both are decent passers; both can shoot; rebounded (is the hardest area for ME to judge, watching 2nd level to 3rd level big men anyways) well in College; can run; etc.


I haven't seen Smith since Soph year and Nick Fazekas can score and might be a fit if the Suns wanted another Lampe type prospect; but Davidson is the guy I hope impressed though because he's a legit 6'11 and I still miss having Steven Hunter on Team (regardless what anyone else says about the guy).

Yeah the suns need more worthless bigs like Burke, skita, The two Jakes(sak and vos), Lampe, Zarko, steven hunter, maybe we can briing back scott williams as well. We just need big guys who the opposition either can match up well against or who they dont have to guard so the court spacing is crap for our shooters. Then we can have entertaining "tractor pulling mug-a-thons" with sub 40% FG percentages and 75-72 scores. Wow that sounds so exciting ..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Wake me up when the NBA gets a clue. Did the spurs win the title? Geez I guess I slept through it! Wow, thanks to the NBA, I'm sleeping better than ever. Slumbertastic!!!!
