From what I saw of him I wouldn't mind that at all. Will McD be enticed by another players potential at the 13 instead though?

Surprised no one has blamed the pointless late season wins for the 4th spot. Moral boosting wins don't count for much when you are about churn over a stack of your roster

Most list the 1 and 2 spots as the winners and everything else just meh.

Well at least 4th spot allows for much debate and more interesting in pre draft workouts. Good for the forum I say. Let the debate begin. I expected 4-5. Was thankful we didn't miss out on the Wizards pick

Yeah, if it had been between 2 and 3, I would have been upset. 3 and 4? Not so much.

Quick question. When do we expect some kind of resolution on if bogdan is coming over? It may have some small influence on draft night for us

I wouldn't expect Bogdan to come over this year, because he can get a much better salary if he waits for another year, as I understand it.

I think the 4th pick makes it more likely we will be shuffling someone out of our backcourt. If we're choosing between Murray,Hield, and Dunn I just don't see how they get mins without a Bledsoe,Booker, or Knight getting moved...and we know Book isn't going anywhere.

I wonder if there's a chance we can still wind up with Bender. Simmons is acting like Boston wants no part of him & will instantly be entertaining offers. Does anyone covet Hield or Bender enough to move up to 3 to ensure they take him? Does Bender slide to 4?

Is Bender set to play in the NBA next season or is he a stash for a few years type of guy?

He's coming next year. His buyout is slightly over the amount NBA teams are allowed to contribute and easily covered by his 1st year salary.

Would we take Bender at 4? I buddy who is a huge Sixer fan (and thinks Ben simmions is like a god btw so yea....he's happy) is convinced Bender is a better prospect then Ingram.

I dunno....I don't think its a slam duk if Bender is there at 4 that we draft him

McDonough talked after the lottery. Nothing startling, Suns are relatively happy with the 4th pick (albeit they'd have loved to move up into the top 2), unlikely they'll bring all their picks into camp (likely they'll draft and stash the 3rd first-rounder and/or early second rounder), unlikely picks 4 and 13 will play the same position.

Ha! They will both be SGs in a PGs body. Can you imagine how great we will be then!
