Warren did not have a very good supporting cast nor was that team well coached. Watching him, he was never a black hole on offense. I don't have concerns about his assists numbers.

Archie Goodwin was once again in attendance, and ran the three-minute drill with the prospects.
The 29-pointer is winning me over with his work ethic alone.

I'm usually critical of BSoTS, but that was a good write-up on the workout.

I would really love to add Philly's top two second rounders, especially if the 27th pick is traded.

Ok, here is my rosterbation effort, but I'm not totally sold on any one move, so....
If Jabari Parker falls to Orlando at 4, what if Phx trades Bledsoe for 4th and 12th? ***(Disclaimer is that I don't think that you could get both 4 and 12 for Bledsoe though)

Then, Phx trades Green, the twins, 18, 27, PHX '15 pick and/or Lakers '15 pick) for Love

Trade 12 & 14 to the Lakers for 7.

Pick Parker with the 4th, and Smart with the 7th

Sign Hayward from Utah, & Tucker back.

Dragic/Smart
Hayward/Goodwin
Parker/Tucker
Love/Frye
Len/Plumlee

Ok, scratch all that. I can't do that crap with Bledsoe, since it needs to be a sign and trade and everything else falls apart with the trade to LA.

Yep, I usually like Sean Sullivan`s draft evaluations.

::''EPIC THUMBS & THUMPS''▼▼▼::

why do you want to trade green??
Its so weird when we get a kid that blossoms here and then we trade him to see him either do just as good or get worst. Phoenix is a magical place and powerful to some people and even more EMpowering to others. Steven Nash was one of those who I think we know how to Empower, Gerald Green too. Kevin Love I feel might do the same, but I would never want to give up the Morrii or Green. You all already get how i feel about Archie

really I feel the same about Fry cause he is home grown and loyalty is important and its not just about loyalty its family. I think I graduated from his class. Im 2003 and even though I decided not to play high school ball at mesquite high I got a few homies who did (John Smallwood for 1) and its especial for me as a kid who grew up threw this school system to see players stay local. It just makes it magical and more then fun to watch, it becomes something more but I dont got a word for it

LOL Ok, no worries. Like I said it was a poor effort.

well no, I am sorry because I am quick to judge (its all that mercury in the air and my teeth lol)
I dont know ANYTHING about the players from college because I dont watch college ball, I am a chemistry guy and a energy guy and I got folks who know WAYYYYYY more about energy than I do. My internal Marital arts teacher was teaching us Bagua and Qi Gong and Tai Chi on a basketball Court before he moved out to LA a few week back. Hes gonna be here each month and will be this weekend, but he saved my life so its hard but cool lol. Anyways

Yeah Forgive me, cause i was quick on that judgement of your idea

Don't worry about it. I love criticism of my ideas, it makes me stretch and think more. I don't think I have all the answers, so I enjoy others opinions.

I can't wait until the day you're calling him the 29-point-averager.

From what I have been reading on T.J Warren, he almost seems like a guy that should be rated higher in the draft. I have seen mocks where they have him going anywhere between 14-27 spot in the draft. What are the reasons why he is so all over the board that way? I am not really savvy on the draft prospects this year so please excuse my ignorance.

Based on what I'm reading here and need, he is a very intriguing prospect for us. I don't know if he would be a good value at 14 though. What are the chances he's still there at 18?

I'd be shocked if Cleveland passed on Embid. Apparently there is nothing wrong with his back and IMO, if there is not he is the clear #1 prospect.

1.Embid
2.Wiggins/Parker
3.This is where things get interesting if Wiggins is off the board....Exum could land here as could Vonleh and even 1 philly writer here is making a case for Smart

I had Warren mocked to phoenix @ 14 in my 1st mock. I'd be fine with that pick if the guys are off the board that I think will be. I like Warren.
