2016 Draft

[DirtyDez]

I'm not enamoured with anyone. Skal playing well in the tourney will make things interesting. Today is BBall porn with GS-SAS later on.

[JMac1]

I think Dunn will be the player in this draft!

[thamadkant]

If Suns fall outside the top 3... And Ingram/Simmons/Bender are out...


I would seriously consider trading that pick for a future or trade down for a young player and a late lottery pick.

Not opposed to this, as I m not enamored with Brown or Dunn - depends where do we trade down, and what else do we get for it...

Chandler, Warren, pick 4+

For

Jimmy Butler, Portis

[jcsunsfan]

Well, its certainly going to be an interesting draft. With a 1-5 pick, a 10-14 pick, a 27-28 pick, and a 32-33 pick, there is literally not one player in this draft that should be beyond the Suns scrutiny. It is a scout's dream.

As if giving up a premiere two-way wing wasn't enough they throw in Portis for that poo platter?

I really don't find Bender intriguing at all. But I feel like he could have the best upside at No 3 if we landed there so I wouldn't be opposed to taking him. Basketball gods be with us on lottery night. Everyone should sacrifice a lamb or their first born whichever is convenient so the Suns can land the No 1 pick.

[Saberestar]

Right now my favourite player in college is Brandon Ingram. I think he is gonna be #1. His potential is terrific, I really see him like a contender for a #1 pick on past years. He has all the tools to be like Durant or Paul George in his prime.

He seems to me a good defender, able to defend various positions and strong (like it was Iverson with his skinny body).

[Qwigglez]

^Definitely Ingram is on the top of my board. It sucks because he'll probably be playing for the Lakers..

Top prospects dropping like flies in tourney with UK going down. Dunn and Bentil with tall order vs NC tonight. Also Sabonis vs Poeltl tonight.

Go Hoosiers! Maybe by some miracle we can get past the Sweet 16 this time, off topic but Dipo dropped 45 vs Cavs last night

We should draft Perry Ellis to mentor the younger players like Chandler and Tucker.

It does seem like Ellis has been at Kansas and also Poythress have been at Kentucky for like a decade.

Sabonis dominating Poeltl right now. I always thought taking him with the Washington pick might be a little high to take him, but so far, in one half he has 11, 8, 2 steals, 2 assists and a 3 and Poeltl has 5 pts and 2 rebounds.

If this is the kind effort he brings in a huge big time matchup, it's nice to see, particularly with so many other guys like Jaylen Brown laying egg after egg.

Dunn has an opportunity to do something tonight against 1 seed NC, since they don't really have a good matchup for him...from DX

North Carolina does not have a great matchup for Dunn, as both of their starting guards, Marcus Paige and Joel Berry, lack much in the way of height, length or strength compared with the physically imposing Dunn.

Dunn was 4-5 for 10 points in 7 mins until he got into foul trouble....dude is legit.

[JMac1]

How come you guys don't talk about ben Bentil?

Yeah it was a good start, but a shoot first no pass effort as well, and they said the team started playing better as a whole when he sat because of two fouls. I'm more of a fan of pass first point guards. I'd still probably take him over Murray and Brown though despite being 22, because he is still the best passer of that bunch.

[bwgood77]

I've mentioned him at least 5 times and posted at least two articles about him. I'd take him in the 2nd round especially if we take a guard with one of our first two picks. He wasn't on my radar until I started looking at Providence box scores to see how Dunn did and Bentil had quite a few eye popping lines.

The team was only in the game because he was making shots, the team was bricking left and right, they had a run but then NC made a run right back at them. Dunn is a passing PG, the question is his shot making ability, if it wasn't he'd definitely be in the top three without a doubt; and he was making shots. He can get anywhere he pleases on the court.

My bad

Neither Murray or Skal looked good in a loss.
