Reed isn't even projected to be drafted, would be the biggest reach of the draft thus far.

I think I read an interview where McD was talking about players ranked beyond the 50's and saying there is still amazing talent there who've been coming in for workouts, in a means to clarify just how deep this draft is.

I'd like whoever the Suns draft next to be someone that can shoot considering Booker and maybe Bledsoe are our only good long range shooters out of the rotation players.

These guys are out there grinding. I think if you ask them, some of them had 15, 16, 18 workouts which is brutal. Not only in terms of the on-court competitiveness but physical toll it takes on your body, travel, so we thanked them for that. This was the best workout we’ve had in terms of the level of play, in terms of intensity. I think that tells you about the character and experience of this group. They’re willing to come out and grind and beat each other up a little bit and try to earn the 32nd pick. We told them, as looking around, sometimes you might have a filler guy or two who doesn’t have a chance to get drafted, but I didn’t feel that way about this group. I think there’s a good chance at least four, five, maybe all six of these guys get there on Thursday night.” - McD

Who did you want at 4? You made it clear you didn't like Tatum, but I thought you liked Jackson, or were you going for Fox/Isaac?

wonder if Derrick White's going to the Spurs

super smart/crafty player but sort of slow, like a PG/SG version of Kyle Anderson

Oh I like Jackson. I just want a shooter now with the 2nd rd picks.

Not bashing on the Jackson pick at all, he's the guy I wanted.

That was Reed's 18th workout. That's a lot of flights.

Ojeleye is getting close though.

I don't know much about these late prospects but I expect it would it be a shooter.

Oh and since our roster is looking pretty damn good, maybe it's about time you lose that paperbag and be proud! :lol:
