I never watched the Draftexpress "Strengths" video because I never thought the Suns would get him. Same with Fultz. Gonna watch tonight. :lol:

Really good pick for Miami there. He will be able to guard every position on the court

Jackson will be a great player. I'm not sold on Bender Chriss Jackson lineup so I'm hoping we take Tony Bradley if he's available for our 2nd rd pick.

Wow, I knew the Heat were really good in the second half of the season and one of the best teams in the east. But I certainly didn't know they started out 11-30 and in the second half went 30-11 which was the best record in the entire east. That's crazy.

Not sure how I feel about Reed at 32. Guess it depends on if we pass on Brooks and/or Hart if they are still available, there's quite a few other players as well that could be something special at that spot. Reed could go undrafted if we don't take him.

I'm here hoping for a Bledsoe trade.


Quite frankly moving Bledsoe makes no sense at this point. We cannot go into the season with Ulis as our starting PG and no back up.

If we would have drafted a PG I would have moved him.

I hope we are able to get some help in the 2nd round

and then:

I would throw everything and the kitchen sink at Blake Griffin. I think he would be a monster with our current group. It would be a chance for him to become a leader rather than the 2nd fiddle. I really do not think that he and Chris Paul get along. I am not even sure he likes Doc Rivers or the LA scene. We just added a wing in the draft with great court awareness and Blake is a very willing passer along with everything else he brings. We could actually see a team that shares the ball. Bender, Chriss and Warren will still get plenty of minutes.

I would get him like the Warriors got Durant. I do not think they gave up anything. Sign him to a 2 year deal with an option and if it works out for both parties max him out the 2nd year. If not move on. No harm no foul.

Chandler
Griffin
Jackson
Booker
Bledsoe

That is a playoff starting five. Our bench could be even be better in time.

Bender
Chriss
Warren
Ulis

Don't doubt Gambo ... I know he has been wrong in the past but he his money this year !!!! I know Reeds agent !! Suns absolutely love him ... I will dramatically surprised if the Suns don't take him somewhere in the second via 32 or trade !!!!!

I'm not doubting Gambo, it would be a massive reach to take Reed over Ojeleye, Bell, among many others.


You may be right !!! However, every guy you mentioned works out together in the same workout. Not single workouts like the top 8 picks.

From what I am told Reed outshined them all in phx ! What happens from here remains to be seen but don't be surprised if Reed is our guy or we trade for Reed .... Maybe knight or Dudley for a second rounder !?

Sacramento doing smart things. Got their PG and traded back from 10 for more picks.
