The Official Draft Thread

Davis has a pretty beast unibrow going for him.

[MarJJMar]

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

Gilchrist will be a top 5 pick I'd almost bet on that.

Top five talent, but i think he might slip to like 8. Nothing really to back me up, just a feeling

[Beas4pres]

i would take barnes over gilchrist!


Sullinger is going to avg a double double in the league!! i think whoever gets him will love him

[sunsfan88]

I would take Barnes over Gilchrist as well. Gilchrist is such a risky pick. He's a freshman and he's needs to gain more muscle if he doesn't wanna get manhandled at the NBA level. Looks like a skinny kid.

[MrMiyagi]

Barnes is better right now, but I think Gilchrist could end up better. I see no reason why either of them don't reach their potential, just think Gilchrist will take more time to adjust. I also think Barnes will be a better offensive decision maker and Gilchrist a more dynamic(blocks, steals) defensive player.

[MarJJMar]

Gilchrist a skinny kid? He has a better body than Barnes and way more athleticism.

Barnes is just not that good. He is a soph in college but not really dominating. I think he is a #3 option in the NBA.

[Rondo2Hondo]

I can really see the Suns landing Anthony Davis. Your team sucks this year, yeah, I know, rich coming from a Celtics fan!

[Years90Suns]

Austin Rivers or Kidd-Gilhgrist should be the players.
The first one will be a superstar or, at least, a hell of a scorer that also will draw a lot of attention to the franchise because of his famous background.

Barnes is a really good basketball player, with great physical abilities and conditions, but we cannot draft a 4th PF for another year.

[Ulquiorra]

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...

Big NO on that, trust me, he was playing for Olympiakos several years and I've watched him (I'm from Greece) He's too selfish and always takes ill-adviced shots, especially if it's for the win. Winning the euroleage MVP hurt him bad as a player, he's way over his head now..

lol Austin Rivers is hype.. he is an undersized SG. Probably best case Monta Ellis.

Barnes is NOT A PF. He is pure SF with above average athleticism.

[sunsfan88]

Are there any twins or brothers in the upcoming draft?

[DRK]

Plumlees....

I know where this thread is going now...

[sunsfan88]

I can see the Suns drafting Mason Plumlee if we somehow make the playoffs and end up with a pick in the late teens or early 20s.

Has the athleticism and explosiveness we lack at that PF position assuming Warrick isnt on the roster for next year.

But Plumlee has close to 0 defensive awareness and with all the recent picks being drafted for defense (Lopez, Clark, Morris) Plumlee may not end up on the Suns after all.

Its been a while since the Suns have had a white athletic player on their team .

[DRK]

Lies.

We had Pat Burke.
