Not sure what way I see them going here. They probably want someone to stash overseas and save money on. I'll have to take a look at the big board and see what foreigners there are worth taking here. Another team that would have loved the PG we took.

Fesenko, Joao Gomes, Renaldas Seibutis? They all seem like a bit of a reach, but the Suns want someone they can leave overseas.

I don't think they'd take Gasol. He's too unathletic for their system.

If they take someone that will be on the roster, they could go with Cook or Byars. Both of them are big shooters, which is just what the Suns seem to crave.

I thought McRoberts was a good pick for them before. i think they need an another athletic big man since Amare or Marion could be gone soon. Even if they remain, Marion plays both forward spots.

I think they'll stash Fernadez for a year.

A three point shooting PF to compliment Amare? Hellz yeah, says Steve Kerr!

I like Fazekas, so I don't see him dropping any further.

Nick Fazekas

He'll be going higher than this in my mock that I submit for the MOCK DRAFT CONTEST

subtle, eh?

I guess if they're stashing away one guy, they can afford to keep another one around. Fazekas would fit in perfectly for the suns. Nash drives and dishes, Amare dominates down low, and he's another shooter for them to kick it out to.
