2017 NBA Draft Thread

[Jonas_steven]

Dougie Mcbuckets or Adreian Payne... Would love either of those guys!

Payne I would love but these great white shooters just can't hack it in the NBA. Plenty of references to support this theory.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I want to trade up for Noah Vonleh or Aaron Gordon.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

I want to trade up for Noah Vonleh or Aaron Gordon.

We need a better free throw % person than AG

 

[The Derski]

We are going to win the lottery. We don't need to trade up.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

We are going to win the lottery. We don't need to trade up.

please explain your definition of winning the lottery.

Suns have 14,17 and 27

1.8% chance of getting a top 5.

 

[Jonas_steven]

We should have kept gortat. He could have been our center for at least 3 years.

 

[johnson]

Yeah, would have been nice to have Gortat this past year. Plumlee was a surprise, but by the end of the year it was pretty clear he's more of a good bench player than a starter.

OFFICIAL

Suns get the 14th pick.

 

[Jonas_steven]

R-I-G-G-E-D!

 

[The Derski]

There will probably be better options at #14 but I really think we should take a chance on Zach LaVine at some point.

 

[The Derski]

Chad Ford's mock draft has us taking LaVine at 14.

 

[Orange602]

They should try to trade up. I'd love to see someone like Aaron Gordon on the team (let me dream).

 

[The Derski]

I don't mean to impersonate Jahii but just look at these highlights. So much potential. 6'6''

I bet that you're salivating over a picture of him right now.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I know I already said it before, but I'll say it again... I hope we trade up for one of Randle, Vonleh or Gordon. One of them will fall to #8 and that pick is available.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

TJ Warren & Adreian Payne are my two favorite guys around the 14-18 range if we don't trade up.

Draft thread

There are a lot of interesting possibilities for Suns draft day. What's your take on what the Suns should try to do?

 

[The Derski]

Zach LaVine or James Young.

 

[Jonas_steven]

I am for lavine or Payne. I am sure they will find a way to surprise us!
