Rush might be Suns' top pick
The Suns don't have any more draft workouts scheduled yet, but Phoenix is not done evaluating with 10 more days available for workouts and callbacks before the NBA draft. Fast-rising UCLA point guard Russell Westbrook canceled a visit today, but the Suns just might need some time to take in what they saw this weekend, when they attended a 24-player, multiteam workout in Oakland. Kansas swingman Brandon Rush entered as clearly the best prospect in the weekend's group, which featured players who could go anywhere from the middle of the first round to the second round. Rush enhanced that standing, showing off his shooting and defense that comes with a long 6-foot-6 frame.

I'm disappointed that Westbrook cancelled his visit, but I suppose it was a pipe dream to get him somehow. Rush is a good pick. Now only if management can hold on to him for once!

Good player. Not a bad pick by the Suns if it happens.

G.O.A.T.: Chad Ford is saying that the Knicks will take Westbrook at 6 if Mayo and Bayless are off the board. That seems like a good enough reason for Westbrook to cancel on the Suns.

he's not fast enough to play 2 guard in the league- so he will have to be a forward-
I would not take a 'tweener' at the 15 th pick

I like Rush. I was hoping he might be available for the Cavaliers.

Yeah, that's why it was just a pipe dream for me. I kinda had a feeling that we really didn't have much of a shot at him.

Maybe the third time will be a charm with one of the Rush brothers.

Ford actually has Randolph going to the Knicks in his Mockdraft 4.0...This is not a good pick at all. I don't think Westbrook will be a good pick either!

I see...I still feel like Westbrook is not a good pick for them.

I agree with you on that DWITT. I know Knick fans will boo but they should take Gallinari. A few weeks ago I was against Danilo going to the Knicks but I have been reading that he has had some great workouts and that evaluators think highly of him.
Plus, point-forwards are a good commodity in any NBA offense.

Westbrook is questionable-
Not sure of his size and outside jumpshot
Fast, good defender & coming from a good coach-
In this draft- other than Rose- I don't feel that there are any guarantees-
so the #6 pick or 12...same deal-
I wouldn't not take him because he is 'too high', just if he's the right player

The Suns don't pick until number 15. I would expect Rush to be gone by then.

good backup and eventual replacement for grant hill; not that i believe grant hill is the answer for the phoenix suns. i dont even know what to expect out of phoenix anymore. do they still run and take advantage of nash's fast-breaking abilities? do they slow it down and try to post up both stoudemire and shaq? who knows. this is one team that definitely should just draft the best player available.
