on 05.15.2008

cj giles is a sleeper no one has seen him play for two years was never a college player talk about his off the court problems no different than any other immature young person he knows he has one more chance and this is it keep a eye on him .

Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant would be ideal for a rebuilding team like the Sonics.. .

It doesn’t matter if Robin Lopez fits in the Suns style, it’s the value of the 11th (which will be 15) pick. Robin is a fringe first rounder...lottery pick?? Get real, do the Collins twins ring a bell? Brook has a chance to be legit and Robin will be a 10 year back-up, not a bad career but not the 11th pick anywhere! .

Ty will stay another year, and even with his stats he’ll be a second rounder. I think there will be many steals in this draft, and alot of sleepers that will surprise people. I glad to see you back Lance, I enjoy your work .

Robin is the right pick, becuase he run in that style, his defense, rebounding, block shots are what they need. they have a bunch of scorers all ready, so it’s not a neccessary to get an offensive guy. defense has been they’re problem in the past. I also think the raptors get Chase would be great! I think he would be a perfect fit .

I agree, Suns do need Lopez, Brook Lopez, NOT Robin Lopez. Robin will do nothing in the NBA and won’t fit the Suns b/c his offense needs a lot of work, a whole lot of work. .

the suns need another center cause of shaq. Lopez is good enough to be it .

The Suns need a point guard to develop and back up an aging Nash and a big man to compliment Amare and replace Shaq when he turns 58 next year. I say go for a PG and start to develop him, I think it takes longer for them to get accustomed and situated in the NBA...man, I wish Bayless could drop. .

They traded their pick to the grizzles in the gasol deal, they don’t need a pick anyway they’re straight. Go Warriors! .

there will many steals in this draft that people will sleep on. so i’m not gonna bag on anyone yet. i think tyler hansbrough could be one of those, the hustle players are popular right now they’re difference makers on a team. there is always a team that will take a chance on a player when others doubt, i love players like robin lopez, tyler hansbrough, kyle weaver, brian roberts, etc... they will make it in the league. lats point look on every team in the leagues roster and you’ll see players where people said they have no shot, that player sucks, that’s a crappy pick, etc.. but they turned out fine, the list is way too long to name. .
