I have no idea who we should pick. If they turn out well then I had them picked the whole time.if they suck I told you so.

I'm not talking about playing him at the point.

Report: Suns have interest in drafting Kris Dunn, put Eric Bledsoe on trade block
Ugh, I would love to finally be rid of Bledsoe, but Dunn essentially has all of his flaws. So what's the point?

Dunn would be more palatable if the Suns landed Valentine too.

Why are we ignoring the fact that Marques Chriss was a terrible rebounder in college? I don't understand the love for this guy at 4. Is it all about the athleticism essentially??

I just can't see them drafting Dunn after he refused to release his medicals to them (if thats 100% accurate). His shoulder was an issue and for us not to have the correct paper work on that i the top 5 is a huge gamble. I can see them drafting someone they didn't workout, but the medicals though could be an issue.

If Chriss were a savvy rebounder, I'd be in love with him. As it is, I feel like we are linked to all the guys in the draft I don't like: Chriss and Dunn. I just pray they pick Bender and/or Sabonis.

i see him more as a perimeter player than a true big man. i can also see him becoming a good perimeter defender. his LENGTH is ideal against the warriors.

I suspect the Suns will draft Chriss after listening to Gambo this afternoon.

If Dragan goes no.3 the Suns should take Dunn. If Dunn goes no.3 the Suns should take Dragan.... stay away from Chriss.

Chriss I'd grab at 13, but not 4. Way to low of a floor... He's either Tyrus Thomas/Stromile Swift or Amare Stoudmire/Shawn Kemp.

Dunn is Mo Williams to John Wall.
Buddy Heild is somewhere between Tony Delk and Mitch Richmond/Glen Rice.
Bender is Raef Lafrentz/Channing Frye to Dirk.

I'll take Dragan.

Here's a weird question: Who would take Chriss if we didn't? Who would take Bender if we didn't?

I'm not interested in either to be honest. But I'm preparing myself to be disappointed.

1 thing I really really like about Bender is his versatility on D. Did we not just see how valuable a guy like Tristan Thompson's versatility was on D vs the Warriors when he was involved in p&r's and switched onto Steph Curry. He's far from a lock, but I think Bender has better chance to succeed in the NBA then Chriss does. He has more "skills" IMO then Chriss does who just seems to be an athlete who is really really raw. Regardless you're gonna have to be patient with either.

Denver's been linked to Bender.

Chriss....I dunno. Most mocks have him going to us and I haven't heard his named mentioned with other teams like I have with Bender to Denver.

Yeah I would take Bender any day over Chriss. I really think some are going to be in a rude awakening when Bender doesn't offer much on D at the NBA level.
