2013 Draft Thread

I like Steven Adams as well. From what I've seen he already has some nice post moves and a jump hook - I freaking love the jump hook. Don't know why more bigs don't absolutely own that shot. No idea.

Not worried about it being a "weak" draft - if your scouts do their job, you should wind up with value no matter where you pick.

If your scouts do their job....

And man do the Suns have assets - I think they are going for a two year build. Gain assets this season, consolidated them next season, make the post season. That's only a two year hiatus from the playoffs and a nice little build in between with young guys.

We need to find out who is going to be in the 20-30 pick range in next years draft with all these picks.

I'd love to grab Jeff Withey with the Memphis pick if it's in the 20s, a SG with our pick from Muhammad-Goodwin-BJ Young, depending on what pick we've got ourselves, and a good rebounder wing with the Miami pick, guys like Mike Moser or Andre Roberson would fit perfectly here.

I think we'll package those later picks and move up. I see our pick being top 10, possibly top 5. Our later picks could land us another top 15 pick.

If we could somehow walk away from next year's draft with Shabazz and Adams I would be stoked.

Every year we talk about the perceived strength or weakness of the draft and it infuriates me because nobody knows anything until five years later and it seems like we fall into the trap every single year.

They're all the same crap, save for anomalies like the 1996 draft.

Not gonna happen unless we have a top 1-2 pick in 2014. But yeah, me too.

Tanking is not the answer here.

I honestly dont think you even watched them play much. Shabazz looks like a stud with good size. Due dominated the all star game. I like Zeller a lot and he outplayed Davis at IU last year. What I have read is that he has really improved his strength and overall game thus far since the end of the season. Hes extending his outside shot to the three and he likes to post up down low. If we have a shot at either of these cats, I would be ecstatic! If we get Zeller, we have to go after harden in my view. If we get Shabazz, we need a stud big man.

I think outside of the top 5 picks next year, there is not as much. Problem is, this team is not going to be bad enough to get a shot at those top two picks. And Stern wont allow the suns to win it unless Sarver and Stern made a deal to allow nash to play with Kobe? :wink:

Unless we get rid off one of our bigger contract, we can't have Zeller and Harden at the same time. Zeller will propably be top 3 pick and will have a huge cap hold.

By then we will probably be the Shang Hi Suns anyway.

What about Wang Lang, he's supposed to come out in the 2015 draft. :lol:

College season starting up.

Shabazz may be ineligible for the season. I'd like to see him go to Europe or even China for the year just for him to get some in game experience against better competition.

Archie Goodwin out of Kentucky looks like a really good two guard.

Post #57 » by **ATTL** » Sun Nov 11, 2012 4:36 am

16 points on 8 shots in his first game. 11 free throws. We need a 2 guard that attacks like that.

Goodwin reminds me of Wade, he's a beast

Playing against obviously inferior talent, still good to get a glimpse of how he plays.

6'5" in shoes
6'10" wingspan

Good floater, decent passer, attack attack attack.

Him and Dragic would be an insane back-court and could open up a lot more things for us offensively.
