Aaron Brooks says he is like Parker but with a better jumpshot

[JMarkJohns]

I agree. It's the only reason he isn't going really high.

BTW, Conley didn't pass Law on the PG list did he? If so, why?

While I'd like to see him on the Suns, and I am excited about the possibility, I fear he'll be undercoached. Barbosa was nearly given up on by Mike D'Antoni. It was his brother Dan who saw the gem in the rough and worked with him and coached him up. Maybe Dan can work his magic again, but I don't like Mike's way of handling youngsters. As someone, it may have been ShoogarBear, said earlier, Mike can't develop a bench. He doesn't know how to use one. Either you play and do so for 30 minutes or you don't play. That scares me and makes me wonder if his talent is better suited for another team.

He's really very good and needs just the right coach and the right opportunity.

EDIT: and yes, Conley has passed Law on the PG list. Word is that three teams in the top-10 have eyes for Conley. The Hawks at #3, the Bucks at #6 and the T'wolves at #7. If he makes it past them, then he may slip to #11, where the Hawks will most definately take him. Law has been projected anywhere from #10 to #18 in most mock drafts.

As to why, Conley really stepped up his game in the Tournament, has incredable speed and lateral quickness, really knows how to pressure the ball, and, while a pure point guard, also has the rare combination of being a pure point while being able to score points. He picks his spots, runs an offense, and with increased strength and an improved jumper, will be a nightmare for many years.

I like Conley very much, but if the Suns were picking twixt the two, I'd want them to take Law. Right now, Law will make the most impact. He's more ready, better all-around and has better size.

Anyways...

Well, that explains it. I'll go out on a limb and say Law's gonna be a better pro, especially if the Hawks draft Conley.

I think Conley will be a better pure point, but I haven't seen but a dozen games of him. I've seen a few more of Law, but can also see his statistical progression year to year.

I can't say, but I'd say you're as likely to be right as wrong. I just haven't seen enough of the youngster to have a definitive opinion one way or the other.

I will agree that he could br ruined if drafted by the Hawks. Since the Suns get the Hawks pick next year regardless, my ideal draft for them is B.Wright, Jianlian or Conley at #3 and then Conley or McRoberts at #11. All are projects with very little ability/opportunity to impact right now.

As long as Billy Knight is running the team in Atlanta, it's safe to say that the Suns should have their pick of Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Eric Gordon, Derrick Rose, et al. My early prediction has Hawks...I mean Suns w/ the #1 pick.

Which sucks for me as a Spurs fan...

[JMarkJohns]

I don't see #1 overall, But I'd be very happy with a top-5 pick, overjoyed with a top-3 pick, and exstatic if they happened to land their franchise first #1 overall. It's a draft later than I prefer, but Beasley is a monster. He's got some issues, however. I've seen Rose play. Very nice. Gordon is an undersized SG. Suns already have one in Barbosa. Also, while I like mayo on my sandwiches, no thanks to Mayo on the Suns. I've seen him play as well, and he's too Marbury-like, where everything has to run through him.
