After all, with as many players as there are to choose from, the chance that every Suns fan will be pleased is as likely as the chances of the Suns signing Deron Williams, which is to say "not happening."

However, the one thing the team could do that would upset everyone is trading down, which Suns GM Lance Blanks said Monday is a possibility.

The Suns, if you recall, sold traded their first round picks from 2004-2007, decisions that frustrated the fans and left the team with little young talent today.

"I'm just covering myself just because there are so many things out there in terms of opportunity," Blanks said.

Blanks, it should be noted, is confident the team will have a list of at least 13 players it would like to draft, and thus would have little desire to trade down.

Blanks did say they are now in the process of going through all their information and creating a list, and is not yet sure what the end result will be.

"If we get to a point where it's 12 guys, maybe not, maybe we wouldn't," he said of making a selection at 13. "Where I sit today, and if the draft happened today -- and this is me working in a vacuum -- I think that we'd have a player there."

In fact, Blanks said the Suns would not be opposed to adding an extra pick, should the opportunity present itself.

"If it makes sense with what we're trying to do," he said, adding that the team is putting a heavy emphasis on getting younger. "By no stretch would we shun away from adding a pick."

Who the Suns will draft, though, very much remains to be seen. Blanks spoke highly of North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall, calling him a "well accomplished, winning point guard." But while Blanks said the Tar Hell would fill a need, he still may not be the team's choice.

Because while Marshall averaged 9.7 assists to go along with 7.8 points per game as a sophomore last season, he may not be the best player on the board when the Suns are up.

"We want to hit it right," he said. "If that means a duplication at a spot so be it, because at the end of the day you want to have talented players and guys who can make it in this league and contribute to your roster.

"That's better than going away from a position where you already have depth or have an opportunity through free agency and you end up with a player who can't play in the league."
