Phoenix Suns: 5 Best/Worst Draft Picks in Team History
If you’re from Arizona or a fan of that certain NBA team with one of the league’s most nonsensical awesome mascots, any time you hear the words “Phoenix Suns” and “draft picks” in the same sentence, it likely leads to cringing, glistening tears of sadness or an outright mental breakdown for what might have been. There were so many bad draft picks over the years I couldn’t even include them all. There was the time Phoenix picked Greg Howard ahead of Calvin Murphy and Nate Archibald in 1970. Two years...
read moreNew Orleans Hornets: Eric Gordon’s Ankle Surgery Just Another Setback
Have you ever heard the term “poor investment”? If not, just take a look at what the New Orleans Pelicans have invested in young shooting guard Eric Gordon, formerly of the Los Angeles Clippers. On Dec. 14, 2011, the Clippers traded Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and a 2012 first-round pick to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul and two future second-round picks. Needless to say, that entire trade has backfired in their face, with Gordon and company not making even half the impact Chris Paul made on the...

The Phoenix Suns hired former Boston Celtics executive Ryan McDonough to be their new general manager, replacing Lance Blanks. They held a press conference at US Airways Center on Thursday morning, May 9, to officially introduce him to the media. McDonough was poised during the 20-minute press conference, although he admitted he wasn’t much of a public speaker. The fans don’t mind, as they’re much more interested in what he can do with a Suns team that compiled a horrid 25-57 record during the 2012-13 season. When asked...

Watching the 2012-13 Phoenix Suns this season was one of the more agonizing things I’ve ever had to do in my life as a basketball fan. Not because the Suns were that terrible or because they finished at the bottom of the Western Conference this season, but because they showed so many flashes of brilliance and were actually fairly competitive at times with certain lineups on the floor. It’s also important to note that the Suns’ record is somewhat misleading since the team went into full-on tank mode, losing 16 of their last...
read morePhoenix Suns: Is Goran Dragic the Best Value in the NBA?
Goran Dragic‘s nickname is “The Dragon,” but over the past few months, you wouldn’t know it based on how many times he’s been referred to as “the lone bright spot of the Suns’ season.” Dragic hasn’t really garnered any national attention as a superstar, but he’s easily identifiable as a key component in Phoenix’s ongoing rebuilding process and the flashes of brilliance he showed throughout the year prevented many a Suns fan from crossing over from the realm of the...
read morePhoenix Suns: Breaking Down Who’s in and Who’s Out for the 2013-14 Season
The Phoenix Suns’ offseason has officially begun. After finishing last in the West with a 25-57 record, they’re continuing in their rebuilding mode. They must be looking forward and poised to get at least a high-ranking draft pick. Their front office is in a state of flux. Suns President Lon Babby signed a two-year extension, while Suns GM Lance Blanks was fired four days ago. Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reported Lindsey Hunter‘s job as head coach might not be safe. So what about the current roster? As it presently stands, it’s filled...
read morePhoenix Suns: Lance Blanks Out As GM, Who’s Next?
On Monday, April 22, the Phoenix Suns officially announced the firing of Lance Blanks as general manager. It wasn’t a surprising move, nor was it foolish. The Suns wanted to change the culture when they brought him in back in 2010 and they have. Unfortunately, it’s been for the worst. The Suns went 40-42 in his first season to just 25-57 this season. Is Blanks the last to go and who could replace him? The Suns have a unique structure, where owner Robert Sarver and president of basketball operations Lon Babby have a lot of say over...
read morePhoenix Suns: 2012-13 Offseason To-Do List
The Phoenix Suns finished last in the Pacific Division–and the entire Western Conference–with a 25-57 record. They have plenty of issues to fix in the offseason. They have questions to answer, techniques to analyze and possibly execute a radical change in their organization this offseason. Coaching For starters, the main issue is the fate of their front office. Will Lindsey Hunter remain as the head coach? Will Suns general manager Lance Blanks stay on with the Suns’ organization? According to SB Nation’s “Bright Side of the Sun,”...

read moreNBA: Ranking the 10 Worst Shooting Guards in the NBA
Today teams in the NBA are constructed carefully and tactfully. Ranking the best shooting guards in the league is no easy task. Some of these players are not full-time starters and are filling in due to injuries. Other teams have great point guards and do not need a backcourt partner next to them that is better than average. Without further ado, these are the 1o worst starting shooting guards in the NBA today. 10. Rodney Stuckey, Detroit Pistons On Wednesday, April 10, the Pistons were without Jose Calderon. They made do and actually won the...
