With that said, I do like him in a trade if the Lakers drafted him at 7 and offered him and Nash for Bledsoe. But again, I would much prefer Gordon or Vonleh.

Randle is probably the topX I like the least. I am honestly worried about his ability to score in the post against lenght, and it is not just a cliche. He has only one hand and uses a lot that kind of mini fade away with a shake releasing that could be very hard to pull against NBA defenses, especially with the consciousness that rim protection and weak side D have gained today. And the foot better not take away his quickness.

I like Orange Julius, but admittedly Vonleh and Gordon have more upside. I'd be fine with trading up for any of the 3. Alot of talk here in Philadelphia that he may be there at 10...I don't see him as a Hinkie guy per say, but if he's there at 10 the value is so good.

Saric has a lot of buzz around him. I can see him falling over the comment he made "I come over if I play for Celtics or Lakers"...which I have no idea why he makes a comment like that...but If he is there at 14 I'm thinking long and hard about him if I am Mc-D.

I can see 10 being a real possibility for him in Philadelphia as well as Orlando if they go Smart/Exum with 4.

Still don't get the Saric love. I'm going to need to be sold on him because I don't see anything special when I watch video of him.

Risky decision. Besodes money, This year late lotto, mid first round had some good teams for him, even if he stayed in Europe. Nobody guarantees you that next season you don't end up in Sacramento or Milwaukee, or that your range discernibly improves if it is a PF/C rich class.

Very disappointing. I feel like he is a potential star, but next year he'll be out of the Suns reach.

Speaking of international prospects, I read that Dario Saric has not scheduled workouts before the draft. Also heard McD last week or so saying that it is not very likely that the Suns draft a guy who has not visited Phoenix. He was speaking in general terms though.

I think Stauskus is my guy. There's just something Steph Curry-ish about his game. He doesn't really fit a need, but that will sort itself out. I don't love any of the potential 4s that will be left at #14.

First Patrick Young, now this. Didn't dare to say it myself, but that's the smell I get too. Shooting, pick and roll, pop, use of screens, moving around. Yep. All that is reminiscent of Curry.

Don't feel for me, feel for the Suns.
