I think PJ has a high motor.
Not every game but I guess in general yeah.
Go Suns!

Bledsoe goes hard for stretches. What hurts is then he'll disengage and be off in la-la land.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I wouldn't mind sending him to la-la land.

I'd trade him for Swaggy P and an old Pau Gasol jersey.
Love, Hurts.

I want Bledsoe out, but I would not trade him to the Lakers for Nick Young.

So who do people like?

for semi-realistic targets at #13, I'm really warming to Myles Turner.

At current my preference in order of who I think is available.

1. Harrell
2. Payne
3. Oubre
4. Rondae

I like Kaminsky and Dekker from Wisconsin.
Turner has a lot of length and would help defensively.
As would Hollis-Jefferson, who could eventually take Tucker's place as designated defender.
Should he fall, Johnson from UofA also would merit a long look by the Suns drafting team.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Kaminsky & Johnson will be gone. I am not a fan of Dekker. Turner might be there and I can see why people like him. I wonder how high his ceiling is tho.

If Myles Turner is available at 13th you pick him and don`t think twice.

Other prospects I like a lot are Russell and Winslow and wouldn`t mind trading Bledsoe for one of them.

Dekker demonstrated some clutch shooting abilities in the NCAAs. Suns need shooters; he has some Gordon Hayward tendencies. He plays with a certain amount of brio, too ...

The draft is a CRAP SHOOT. Teams spend MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars scouting these players out and at the end of the day its just a giant guessing game.

Too early to tell who will be there at 13. Pre-draft workouts will have guys who are their now shooting up boards. Seems like theirs a big 4 (Okafor,Towns,Mudiay,Russell) then a next tier of guys that really hurt or helo their stock based on workouts Portzingas,Herogzinga,Winslow,Kaminsky. Then who knows.

Turner at 13 is fine with me. My ideal draft night would be Turner at 13 and dealing Bledsoe for a top 6 pick and grabbing Russell,Mudiay,Townes,Okafor or 1 of the 2 euros.

I'm also probabaly in the minority here but I like Rondae Hollis-Jefferson better then Stanley Johnson.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

I totally agree with this. RHJ consistently impressed me every time I watched U of A games. I think he's got a long future as a workman pro.

Also agree. I think Stanley Johnson is a good player, but very over rated.

Looney won big with his measurements yesterday - 9'2" standing reach. Given his low center of gravity and 7'3" wingspan, I think he can play PF. And his catch-and shoot ability is excellent, especially given his very high release. I'm sold on Looney. That's my guy at 13.
