Suns 2008 Draft
I know its a long time away, got a lot of season left to be played..but since our pick is pretty much set at that 15th pick, I was wondering who are some prospects you guys are liking for the team. I havent been doing much research so I don't really have any favorites now.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
Bah, who cares? D'Antoni's going to let whoever it is rot on the bench anyway.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
Um some guys I could see us taking... Brandon Rush, Chase Budinger, Donte Green (plus he doesn't play defense so he'd fit in nicely), and Robin Lopez. Lopez could maybe do what Shaq did for Amare in that he'll take up space giving Amare room to operate in the years after Shaq is gone.
I'd most like to see Rush if he'd fall to us. He should be a mid round pick, but if he goes off in the Championship then who knows? He's a great 3 point shooter, very athletic, but most of all, a great defender. He's 6-6 so could have huge size if he played SG but would probably play SF for us. He could take over for Grant after he retires, unless Diaw ever lives up to his potential.
Budinger would probably sell the most tickets though, not that that's an issue.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
I like the Robin Lopez pick. Shaq wont be around much longer. He is a nice side-kick to Amare.
He has a lot of stock these days, so I wouldn't bank on him. Budinger or Douglas-Roberts would be two explosive scorers. I would pick CDR over Budinger. He seems to be able to create his shot better, and is pretty rough on his man around the perimiter. Phoenix's future Raja Bell.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
nffl, Chase is staying back at least another year.
We NEED Hasheem Thabeet or Roy Hibbert. We need a HUGE body to put down low. If we can get the same type of game from Amare with a big body down there, we'll be good for a couple years.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
I want DJ Augustine, but not exactly sure how good of a fit he'd be. Seen him projected to us though.
Hawks killed my dream of us getting Bayless. And **** you to those people who rooted for us not to get a high pick.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
After watching that championship game, I really like Brandon Rush/Darrell Arthur. Probably not gonna happen, but they are nice players.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
IF Suns sell this draft pick, I'm never watching the Suns ever again.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
The suns should take a pass first PG or a true center. Because Shaq and Nash wont be here for too long, well nash will still be but not with the same rythm... Its much easier to find someone to replace hill(SF) than for nash or shaq, true pgs and centers are rare.

Re: Suns 2008 Draft
Question: Is there anyone we can get who'll immediately be part of the rotation? I think Giricek and Diaw are expendable so it means we should draft a forward. In all likelihood, if we draft a guard or center then that kid is going to see very little playing time (if any at all) next year. At least a forward has a chance.
