Seriously, that's going to be the only player that has any value when it's time for the Suns to pick. Suns have made some of the sorriest picks in the Draft. Example Zarko Caberckapa, Siergo Rodriguez, and Nate Robinson. We need a draft pick that will be the next great PG in Pheonix, might as well draft AZ PG Jarred Blayless. I don't know why you guys don't want him? He averaged 25ppg, 6apg. at Arizona, during his freshman year. He comes form one of the best basketball high schools in the country Mt. View. If Blayless falls in Pheonix's hands, they should take him. Now that Nash is getting up there in age.

First of all Bayless won't be around by the time Phoenix picks in the ist round. Second of all although he is very talented and should be a solid player in the NBA he is one dimensional he needs to improve going to the left, he needs to become more consistent not only from long range but also mid range jumper. His defense needs to be better as well. Finally i do like Bayless however i don't feel at least now he would be able to help Phoenix right away.. Phoenix needs consistent long range shooters and of course they need to become better defensively.

Not a chance that he will be there AZ. If you really want a PG you should be looking at DJ Augustin or Russell Westbrook, those two guys could actually be there.

I don't know about DJ Augustin, he's one hell of a player. I'm sure he will be a top 10 pick in the draft. I think Jarred Bayless will go under the radar, and the Suns will have a good chance to get him.

Dude, look at any mock draft(and I realize mock drafts are not fact) and you will see Bayless going in the top 5.

Jared Bayless went to St. Mary's, not Mt. View.

Suns need and athletic SG and SF...Leandro Barbosa will be the future PG..During the playoffs those positions didnt produce..That would be Grant Hill(too old) and Boris Diaw(soft as tissue) who would be the 1st player i would trade tomorrow...With Steve Nash and Amare getting all of the defensive attention these 2 positions need too step up and make plays...Against the Spurs these 2 positions got outplayed by 2 old guys Mike Finley and Bruce Bowen(GET OUTTA HERE)!!!!
Suns need to draft Chris Douglas -Roberts(Memphis)--He is long and athletic, can play the SG and SF position, can get to the rim with ease, has played in an up-tempo offense for 3years, pretty good defense,,and has improved his outside shooting stroke..

Miami4life7, what is with the "soft as tissue" blasts. You are repeating yourself in two different Suns threads with that "soft as tissue" blast. What kind of tissue? Some tissues are quite tough! Ligaments are stronger than tensile steel!
I do agree Steve Nash is old, on the downhill stage of his career and plays little or no defense(aside from taking the occasional charge in the lane). Chris Douglas-Roberts would be a pick I would not have a problem with. I would rather see a point guard though. Leandro Barbosa is not the PG of the future he struggles to run any sort of half court offense and is not very good at getting other players involved.

defense is always going to be a problem for this group of Suns players, but they can help that situation by getting somebody that can rebound the ball. Shaq can't play a ton of minutes for the entire season, and Amare needs help. We need to draft a big man that can play decent to great D and help control the boards. If the Suns can control the boards defensively, their less than stellar defense won't hurt as much.

Second of all although he is very talented and should be a solid player in the NBA he is one dimensional he needs to improve going to the left, he needs to become more consistent not only from long range but also mid range jumper. His defense needs to be better as well.Bayless is an exceptional scorer at all three levels. He's unguardable against man-to-man coverage and gets better lift on his jumpshot than any player in the world. He shot 41% from three and 46% from the field while being double and triple-teamed for 3/5 of the season. What kind of consistency are you looking for?
Can't go left? Man, watch the games and stop depending on the media to form your opinion. His strength and balance is on par with guards like Wade, Billups, Davis and Arenas. It allows him to go left or right and finish against contact. He goes better to his right at the moment, but that doesn't mean he can't go left. Kevin O'Neill said that midway through the season in a poor attempt to plant a seed of reasoning for Bayless to consider returning for the next season, not because it's actually true.
His defense isn't as good as it's going to be, but it was by no means poor and was sometimes excellent. He has a lot of defensive potential and would be an immediate upgrade from Nash in that regard.
Phoenix would be extremely lucky to land Bayless, but it won't happen at #15. He'll drop no lower than fifth, no matter which teams are slotted 1-5.

Your right, he does have an excelent display of atheletic ablility. He to me is comparible to Wade from the Heat. He's going to be fun to watch in the NBA.

The only way the Suns are getting Bayless is if they trade down to get him. No way he falls out of the top 5.
Russell Westbrook
Chris Douglas - Roberts
D.J. Augustin
Those are player we can land without making a move on draft day.
All are very solid players.
