Listened to a podcast where supposedly sources inside the Suns said they were looking at so many PGs because in the G League they don't have anyone that can facilitate and help develop the bigs and shooters they send there. Supposedly, they aren't wanting a PG for Booker per se. Of course they are looking long term at that PG developing into a player on the Suns from the G League. Also, some of the guys they may bring in undrafted.

Bouyea should be down there. Wasting our only pick on a PG for the G-League doesn't make sense.

He was down there for a bit. I think it's interesting they are looking far enough ahead to think of the importance of a PG or distributer to develop players for the Suns from the G League. They may not use a pick. They could sign an undrafted guy they work out.

Not sure the Spurs run four guards and Wembi. Mikal Bridges had a hard time staying with them

I'm not against running small if we had a Wemby. The article I commented on called for a PG to help tutor our G-Leaguers and youngsters also which we shouldn't spend a pick on right now with so few available.

Well I don't like it or hate it but I believe the Sun are going to pick Bradley out of Arizona. ManMan and Williams are the closest thing to Wembi

Developments ahead of the June 23-24 NBA draft: BYU's AJ Dybantsa has conducted formal visits with both the Washington Wizards (No. 1) and Utah Jazz (No. 2) while Kansas' Darryn Peterson only visited the Wizards and does not plan to grant anyone else a meeting, sources tell me and

.Both have believed in going No. 1 -- and now teams in the lottery are taking note of Peterson's decision to only give access to Washington.

The NBA Draft is June 23rd (first round), and I am not prepared, at least not yet.

The Suns presently select #47. I suspect they will change positions in the draft.

It never hurts to repost NBA Draft information.

What do you guys think? Is Peterson #1?
Not in my eyes. I think he is the number #1 pick regardless of what I think.

ICYWW I have Cam Boozer as my #1 pick. Followed by the kid from UNC, Caleb Wilson. 1a and 1b.
