Pietrus started off the same, but picked it up til he got hurt. Might take some of the MLE, or all. I wonder if they'd plan on using it at all though.

Exactly. Yes Barnes had an off year but has shown signs in the past. Pietrus would flourish here. Also look at Azubuike, decent numbers in limited minutes. Dream would be Jackson who is only at 7mil next year, just don't know how his "attitude" would go on this team.

How do Barnes and Pietrus rate defensively? An athlete that can shoot 3's and actually defend consistently will benefit this team greatly. Like a younger Battier with more offensive power perhaps.

Pietrus would be ideal. He fits what you just said. He's a good defender, but could work on his shooting a little more. Even though he has gotten better over last 2 yrs.

[S.T.A.T.1]

Pietrus would be an awesome pick up.

[Dissonance19]

Really wish we could package the 15th pick and something to move up for one of the young guards like Bayless or Mayo.

Also, if this team's going to suck, it's best to do it next yr, and try to come back from it, or something. Don't want it to happen in 2010.

Bayless would be an awesome building block for Phoenix. That would be insane.

Who are Suns looking to draft? Who do the mock drafts have us picking?

Too early to know.

nbadraft.net has us taking SF Chase Budinger out of Arizona and draft express has us taking SF Nicolas Batum from overseas.

What's the point in saying that? They play different positions.

[Seuss]

I don't know college ball, but what position Bayless play?

[S.T.A.T.1]

Jerryd Bayless plays decent defense first hand... he always kept me in front of him but he cant guard a jump shot... guys like rip hamilton will destroy him all day... he has good athleticism, however he struggles to finish off the foul... the NBA these days, its mandatory to convert the 3 point play... his jumpshot is decently effective, but its nothing special... i think he turns out to be a bust.. if im wrong then im entering the league..

PG/SG. He's out of the Suns drafting range anyway.
