You can never have too much athleticism

Me too!

KJ McDaniels with 30 pts, 14 rbs and 5 blocks vs. Georgia State.

A very interesting prospect.

im starting to think if he tests off the charts in the predraft stuff (and there's a good chance he will) he could end up really rising in the draft.

KJ and Montrelz!! Too explosive athletes one at 14 and the other at 17. KJ looks like a perfect 3D player!.

That McDaniels is going to fly up. I don't think he's there after the end of the lottery. Too much physical talent to pass up. He looks like Gerald Green but without the 3pt shot/with shot blocking instead...

I gotta admit I remember seeing Dominic McGuire in college and thinking 'WOW' I want this dude on the Suns - and where is he now...

Good point. McGuire was incredible in college, but has never been able to be productive at the pro level.

KJ can put up some impressive lines, but his shot-blocking probably won't translate to the pros. He reminds me a little of Demar Derozan. A lot of what he does on the offensive end doesn't seem like it will translate well to the pros (his post-ups for instance). Overall, he's a solid prospect.

You gotta take a chance on someone like him if he's there with say the IND pick...I doubt he goes outside top 15-18, but someone always slides.

Shot-blocking sometimes translates for shorter guys - but not often.

I searched for 6'7" or less...our boy Marion turned up, man he was a FREAK...

Fringe-lotto guys like these will probably return to school. The draft always looks better in March than June.

Oh, he's a no-brainer if he's there at the Indy pick.

Selden probably will (and should) go back to school, but I think we'll see Harrell come out.

Two of our prospects on TNT tonight. First TJ Warren and then Montrezl Harrell.

This may be blasphemy, but who would consider a trade of:

PHX gets: Rudy Gay, Sacramento's 2014 1st Rounder (likely to be 6th or 7th)

SAC gets: Goran Dragic, Channing Frye, Washington's 2014 1st Rounder (likely 17th or 18th)

I'm only proposing this because Sacramento has been rumored to be interested in Dragic, and the Suns have been linked to Rudy. We can get the 6th pick, and pick Randle there, and pick the BPA at #14 (Grant, Anderson, McDermott, Warren). I know everyone loves Dragic, but Randle/Gay for Dragic/Frye would be pretty hard to turn down.

It certainly wouldn't be hard for me to turn down. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if you find many who would make that trade unless they are Gay lovers.

Hasnt worked out well for a few players in recent years...
Patric Young, Alex Poythress and Isiah Austin come to mind

Eh, I think Sacramento fans would be the ones who would hate it. From the Suns perspective it makes sense, Gay is expiring, same age as Dragic, he's been super efficient in Sacramento, you're going to already have Bledsoe locked up for a long time at a high salary, and you get a top 5 or so talent.

I have no interest in Rudy Gay, or in facing the Dragon four times a year. But I think Randle would be a marvelous add for this club, and if Goran is the price, I pay it.

TJ Warren just played himself into our range :wink:

By the way, I'm sure most of you know this, but for those wanting to watch Montrezl Harrell or any games and don't have those specific channels in HD, you can watch them live here in HD. http://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/ ... _cbssports

I know I've mentioned Adreian Payne quite a bit as a guy we could possibly get with one of our picks (but no one else has mentioned him much). He can bang inside but also worked on his game to have range and hit the three.

Would love to get the best three with our own pick and Payne with Washington's.

Check out his line tonight.

This video was BEFORE this season, and he's gotten even better this year. 42% 3pt shooter this year.
