Only guy I'd consider over Booker would have been Oubre, but he has high bust potential.

Oh how I wish this will happen. I don't mind the Booker pick but Harrell is my man.

Booker can't create for himself off the dribble or get penetration, plays suspect defense and really the only argument for his upside is "well he was underutilized by Calipari and overshadowed in Kentucky and is still really young and a baby. Oh and he's bigger than Klay at 18."

They definitely complement each other well.

4 Kentucky guards on our roster. Unreal.

I'm fine with it. Wouldn't have minded Portis either, but Booker works....we need shooters badly. Hopefully we can find a PF in free agency and a C if we lose Wright.

@SCoxFB: Something a lot of people have said on here Gambo confirms... Teams aren't interested in the Suns "assets". They're not very good

Sad sad reality!

Well Boston came out of nowhere with that pick.

Suns should consider taking this guy in the 2nd rd imo

We have one big time fan of our current team. John Calipari.

Gambo is saying nobody wants Marcus, Tucker, Goodwin, or Bullock. Just like I have said for a long time now. The Suns have no good assets and the team is in the absolute worst position an NBA team can be in. No chance for the playoffs and no chance for a top five pick. It just seems like the team has such a difficult time making any splash moves that can turn into anything positive.

JMac1 · Post #534 » by **JMac1** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:27 am

Rebuild time

PG Knight 6'3 23yr
SG Booker 6'6 18
SF Warren 6'8 22
C Len 7'1 22

Just need a PF for Bledsoe.

He never had to at Kentucky. Too many great players who all have predefined roles.

We should take Terrence Jones and the 18th pick from Houston for a 2nd (they're selling the pick). Draft portis.

Yup!!!!

I blame playing guys like PJ Tucker over Warren

Well of course no one wants them. If we don't want them why would another team? I think Tucker has a little value because he can defend, but the rest of the guys, we have to hope we can develop them....well..as far as Marcus goes...dump him unless he gets in shape.

Yes, or Looney. But we won't, because we have "too many young guys".

I want Christian Wood in the 2nd round.
