Apparently the "expert" mock drafts have Perry Jones and Jared Sullinger slipping a little bit. And in the late lotto range. Also seen Rivers in our range a few times. Not really sure what they actually use to come up with those and it definitely isn't reliable but it's something to talk about at least.

Jones, Henson, Sullinger, Marshall, Rivers in that order. I'd rather not take a PG right now but I have a feeling that's exactly what we are going to do.

Who is Uones? I don't think Marshall will be very good. He has ZERO offense and marginal defense.

**RollWithEm** · 05-31-2012, 11:11 AM

Passing is offense.

**Hyperion** · 05-31-2012, 04:22 PM

No. having the ability to get to the rim and pass is offense.

According to Paul Coro, the Suns worked out their first prospects today. The list includes:

Syracuse Center Fab Melo
St. Bonaventure Power Forward Andrew Nicholson
IUPUI Shooting Guard Alex Young
Penn Point Guard Zack Rosen
Dayton Shooting Guard Chris Johnson
Pitt Point Guard Ashton Gibbs

What's with the sudden slide of Perry Jones.

Draftexpress has him falling to 17 and nbadraft.net to 19. We better not pass on him.

Dont worry, we will.

Why are we working out guys that are projected to be taken in the mid twenties? If our team trades down I'm gonna be pissed. Hopefully this is a result of us getting another pick through trade.

I've read rumors that Toronto gave Dion Waiters(SP?) a guarantee and that we may of agreed to a trade to get that pick. But purely speculative

This is the team that drafted Robin Lopez in the lottery when the rest of the league knew they were watching a train wreck that was about to happen.

If Perry Jones falls and is available to us, we should take him. The year Deandre Jordan came out he was touted as a top 3 pick and his stock dropped really far and he ended up in the 2nd round to the clippers. Granted he wasn't top 3 material, but he was an absolute steal in the 2nd round. I apply the same sort of feeling to Jones this year.

l0st1 · 06-14-2012, 07:22 PM

Ya Jones is falling fast. Recent mocks I've seen have him as low as 20. We better not pass on him to take Waiters.

Posted this on another forum but...

Nash to Raptors for #7.
Lopez to Celtics for #22.
Gortat to Portland for #6.
Hill to *whoever* for 2nd round pick/future pick.

Lets Brooks sign somewhere else.

Draft some combination of Jones/Drummond/Waiters/Rivers/Marshall

Starts 3 rookies + Morris + Childress. Show that Childress is worth SOMETHING then trade him next summer. Trade Warrick since he will essentially be an expiring.

Start from scratch. We would only have Dudley, Frye and rookies under contract(not counting anyone we sign).

Yes I know this is stupid, NBA2kish and would never work. But I want them to do something drastic.

**Ender** · 06-14-2012, 07:33 PM

The only one of those players you can even trade is Gortat.

**Dissonance** · 06-14-2012, 07:33 PM

Is that you Phystic? I just went there to see what was going on - hadn't in awhile and saw the same post. We should;ve did some or tried some of those moves before the deadline but our $$ obsessed owner and yesmen thought otherwise.

I don't buy the Walters promise.

If we're not gonna rebuild. Amnesty Chill, Re-sign Nash, sign KG, and couple of other vets and see what happens.

**Hyperion** · 06-14-2012, 07:48 PM

Suns need two three point specialists in order to do that
