I think talent-wise he's a top 15 guy IMO. He has had difficulties with maturity before and that probably keeps him out of the top 10. But the big reason I believe he'll fall is because of the ready made talent coming out of the American ranks. Except for Exum, I believe most international players will take a tumble, including Saric. The 2015 draft will actually feature a lot of International players and will probably dominant the 1st round. Hezonja also has a $2 million dollar buy out and he seems more like a draft and stash guy and those guys tend to go to centenders or teams like Phoenix who will have more than one draft pick.

Is Jerami Grant better than Rodney Hood? As a Suns fan, I was thinking Hood might be a good fit, but I haven't seen Grant play yet.

I think Grant fits Phoenix better. I think they prefer athletes that they can coach up. Hood is a savvy scorer. Grant is a long athlete that has huge impact potential both ways.

I don't expect the Mavericks to maintain their pace so we will only get a single pick... likely #27-#30. Drafts are always a combination of best player available and team need. For what it's worth, the notSonics are likely looking for a third PG given their current roster and assuming Pleiß comes over next season.
