The Official Draft Thread

[SUN]

Thought we'd discuss NCAA and Euro prospects for the 2012 draft.

[Beas4pres]

Suns if they get a top 5 pick need to draft

Drummond or Davis. If they are not available draft Harrison Barnes

then we need to trade and get a mid to end draft pick of the 1st round and get

Myck Kabongo, Marquis Teague, or Kendall Marshall

I think Marshall is a pass first PG if we can get him or any of these PG's we will have a bright future.

Kendall Marshall is a taller version of Rajo Rondo. Both have excellent passing skills, both are very good defenders, both have very HIGH bbiq's. Marshall is 3 inches taller than Rondo. I would love to have Kendall Marshall with the Suns next year. Biggest weakness is his shooting but that will come with time IMO.

[Mjeezy2006]

I am very keen on Thomas Robinson! I think he would fit right in a suns uni next season.

[sunsfan88]

Suns need to draft Harrison Barnes. He's the next superstar player in the NBA and he'll be our franchise player to build around.

[sunsfan88]

What do you guys think of Milos Teodosic?

Kid has Nash type potential. At the worst, he'll be Kidd/Rubio. Someone needs to take a chance on him, I think it should be us.

We can have him for a cheap contract too. Wouldn't hurt...

I think suns are giving Lopez plenty of opportunities so come draft night they can shop him for a pick between 15 and 20, two picks in this new draft plus one or two free agents would be great start on the rebuild.

[MarJJMar]

Barnes isnt even the best wing player in the draft...

I'd most likely have Kidd-Gilchrist over him and likely Beal and Lamb too.

Kendall Marshall offensively seems even worse than Rondo and has nowhere near the athletic ability.

No Lamb? I think that kid is going to be good

[DirtyDez]

Lamb is a top 5 pick. I want him or MKG if Davis and Drummond are off the board.

[1UPZ]

Suns need a SG/SF (Gilchrist, Beal) and a PF/C (Davis, Drummond, P. Jones, Sullinger)

Gilchrist is projected pick 8 to 11 the big men are top 5

[ray ray]

Lamb is a top 5 pick. I want him or MKG if Davis and Drummond are off the board.

I don't know why, but I really believe that Lamb is going to be a better version of Richard Hamiton and a much better defender. Lamb has an unbelievable wing span!

[MarJJMar]

I just forgot Lamb on my list, u could fill him in between Gilchrist and Beal. I am not sure who will be the best between them. My feeling says Gilchrist>Beal>Lamb right now. I think all 3 of them are better prospects than Barnes though.

Those 3 can be shooting guards, Barnes will be strictly a 3 I guess.
