For the next draft, anyone who posts Tweets from Gambo/Coro etc. about who the Suns (or any team) will draft before the pick is announced by Adam Silver should be banned from the boards for 6 months. Ruins all the fun.

Why not just look at the board right after a pick is made... there's at least 3 minutes before any of those tweets go up for the next pick usually. No one's forcing you to read the board. Just my 2 cents........

A little bit offtopic, but if anyone's interested: Alexandre Paranhos, who's name has been discussed on here a couple of weeks ago (a brazilian talent discovered by Leandro Barbosa: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_ ... t-intrigue) is playing for the Mavs Summer League Team in Las Vegas.

Maybe someone's interested in watching him play.

How do people still not know the conditions on our draft picks? Both the Minnesota conditions and the Lakers conditions have been posted here about 50 times a piece. Do you guys just keep forgetting or do you guys only read certain posts? Honestly curious because it seems like if you care about the Suns enough to post on a message board it seems like you'd know this stuff already. Or at least read it once or twice and remember.

Just seems like every day I'm reading yet another person ask what the deal is with the draft picks we're owed.

I'd say stay off the boards until the pick is officially announced and then post. That's what I did. :roll:

Best bet is just to avoid being online during the draft. You're gonna have a bad time if you're hanging around message boards/facebook/twitter on draft night.

I personally love twitter on draft night, and I don't care about being "spoiled", since it just means I was surprised 3 minutes earlier than I would have been.

Thanks for letting us know, I wanted the Suns to draft him in the 2nd round. I'll definitely be watching his play.

Looks like all we need next year is a good SF. And by the looks of mock drafts atm there are lots of top quality SFs?

Can anyone who follows college hoops give the run down on the top say 5 SF prospects to watch for next year? thx

Who the hell is that? Looks like either its photo chopped or the rim is a 9 FT rim.

Looking at Dez`s signature it must be Wiggins. And Canadian does have that athleticism.

+1. Didn't Anthony Davis grow 7 inches in his senior year of HS? Hell, even I grew 9 inches in 3 years around 9th grade.

I visited the Naval Academy recently. I believe they said that David Robinson was 6' 6" as a high school senior. He did not play any organized basketball whatsoever until his senior year of high school.

Well most of the top prospects haven't played any college ball yet, so you have to base it on what they did in hs, which makes it a bigger question mark.

But the #1 overall prospect is Andrew Wiggins who is a SF and he will be at Kansas so you might follow them. Three of the other top prospects are PFs (Jabari Parker, who is going to Duke, Julius Randle, who is going to Kentucky, and Aaron Gordon, who is going to AZ)...I'm not sure if any of these guys can play sf...maybe Parker, possibly Gordon.

The next highest rated SF is actually Glenn Robinson from Michigan, and then after that the next small forwards (not counting Hezonja, who I think is a SG) are all projected to go outside of the lottery (TJ Warren-NC State, Sam Dekker-Wisconsin, Dario Saric-Int'l, CJ Fair-Syracuse and James McAdoo-NC).

Those second five listed would probably be guys available with the Minnesota pick if we get it, or possibly even our second round pick.

We pretty much have to take the best available player though, within reason (hopefully one of the top forwards...if we miss out on that, maybe Hezonja at SG) but after the top tier forwards, it is a bunch of point guards and centers mostly.

Also I made a 2014 draft thread, so this probably should have gone there.

This thread will have to bumped annually for the next 15 years (I hope) ... hell it may deserve to be locked at the top at some point.

Edit: Make sure you start at page 1

yeah, so 1 day when Len and Goodwin hoist that Suns first championship trophy, we will all see who were the believer from the very start!
