PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns had Texas forward Jordan Hamilton and Washington St. shooting guard Klay Thompson in for workouts this week. Some are hoping that the Suns don’t entertain drafting either player when their turn comes up at the number 13 spot in the 2011 NBA Draft. “I don’t like either one of these […]
Charles Barkley wants to add NBA owner alongside dominant NBA power forward and hilarious broadcaster on his resume (We’re not sure it actually says that or if he even has a resume, but if we were him it would look something along those lines). It was a comment Sir Charles made in passing to Philly.com […]
The Suns’ preparations for the 2011 NBA Draft have been ramped up a notch, as a half dozen players took part in a workout at the US Airways Center Thursday.

Jimmer Fredette is the media darling of this draft, the senior point guard out of BYU went on a scoring spree unlike anything seen before. The common thought on Fredette is that he is a great shooter who lacks athleticism and explosiveness. That was what he was a few years ago, today he is much […]
As we move closer to the NBA draft, teams are starting to narrow down their draft boards and host player workouts. While the Suns have been very secretive about their draft day strategy, Marshon Brooks told arizonasports.com’s Bryan Gibberman and NBA Draft Insider’s Kristofer Habbas that he will work out for the Suns late next […]
Could you be able to buy a book on business along side a Steve Nash jersey this fall at the US Airways Center? Probably not, but one of the stakeholders in the Phoenix Suns will more than likely have a part in selling you something to read in the near future. That’s because according to […]
Phoenix Suns fans may think they know Steve Nash, but they’re about to get a whole new perspective on the point guard. “Nash,” a documentary set to be released in late 2011/early 2012, will give fans an inside look into the two-time MVP’s life. According to Suns.com, though, it almost didn’t happen. “He was a […]
With the NBA draft fast approaching names are starting to emerge that the Phoenix Suns may have interest in. Guys like Jeremy Hazell, Klay Thompson and Jordan Hamilton have all been mentioned and will be in town Friday for Workouts. One name not included in that list that fans should keep an eye on is […]
Klay Thompson is a prospect most Suns fans should recognize. For the past three years this elite shooting guard has been lighting up the Pac-10 with Washington State. As a scorer from the shooting guard position Thompson has it all. His shooting range extends to the NBA three and beyond. It is a shot that […]
Jordan Hamilton is a 6-8 sophomore wing from Texas who can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions. Hamilton is a five-tool basketball player (to steal a baseball reference), he can shoot, create, rebound, defend and play multiple positions. On the basketball court he is a perfect basketball player who can do anything […]
Jeremy Hazell is a 6-5 senior shooting guard out of Seton Hall. He is a little older (25) than most of the current draft class, when drafted on potential it is rare teams take prospects in their mid-twenties. The NBA is a scorer’s league and the one thing Hazell displayed with consistency during his tenure […]

They say that New York is the epicenter of the world so it comes as no surprise that a New York Knicks beat writer would have the lowdown on Jimmer Fredette. New York Newsday’s Alan Hahn, as a guest with Sports 620 KTAR’s Gambo and Ash, said a certain former Suns coach is infatuated with […]
The Jimmer Fredette tour has begun rolling into NBA cities around the country this week for pre-draft workouts and with it comes all the hype and excitement of a three ring circus or better yet, a reality television show. Jimmer may have the most pizazz and press clippings of any NBA draft prospect but is […]
It was no secret Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash was in attendance at last night’s NBA Finals game in Miami (it’s hard to keep it a secret when ABC broadcasted a shot of he and his new girlfriend, Brittany Richardson, in the stands to the entire world). What we didn’t know was that Nash […]
Reports are starting to surface of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ desire to trade the second overall pick in the draft. With the draft still a few weeks away speculation will range as to who is interested, but one team that keeps popping up is the Phoenix Suns. According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, Phoenix is one of […]
You think Steve Nash wishes he was playing basketball right now? The Suns point guard (for now), Nash spent his Thursday evening watching good buddy Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks battle the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Being at my 1st NBA game since college was a strange experience. Great game […]
With the news that Ricky Rubio will be trading in the sun and fun of Spain for the cold and well, less fun of Minneapolis and joining the Timberwolves this fall, Minnesota now has a logjam at the point guard position. Rumors emerged Thursday morning that more than a few teams are willing to help […]
The Phoenix Suns need a dynamic forward to replace Amare Stoudemire, and they may be able to find one in the 2011 NBA Draft. Just not at pick #13. Sources say Washington & Phoenix have been the most active teams trying to trade up for Derrick Williams. T’Wolves want a “veteran big man.”less than a […]
It’s open season. Not for hunting, rather for Steve Nash trade rumors. While many are playing connect the dots and suggesting if Bryan Colangelo pries — or rather simply is handed — Mike D’Antoni from the Knicks and brings him to Toronto that his former point guard may not be far behind. On the surface […]
Depending on which reports or rumors you believe the Phoenix Suns are either very interested in Jimmer Fredette or hesitant because of his reported defensive shortcomings. Today we got definitive word — well, at least as definitive a word as we can before the draft — that they have interest in the BYU standout. On […]
Steve Nash will be the subject of trade rumors until he either leaves the Suns or retires from the NBA. Possible destinations have included New York and Toronto, because of the point guard’s ties to the Knicks’ head coach and the country of Canada. What if, however, the two joined forces? With the Raptors seeking […]
A new point guard, and heir apparent to Steve Nash, could be coming to Phoenix sometime between now and the June 23 NBA Draft. After being drafted two years ago, Spanish guard Ricky Rubio will finally join the Minnesota Timberwolves next season, meaning they need to clear a roster spot for the young phenom. To […]
The NBA draft is just three weeks away and the first few picks are beginning to take shape. However, the Phoenix Suns, who have the thirteenth overall pick, have been very secretive in their draft process and have other teams and fans guessing as to what the Suns will do with their lone draft pick. […]
You may not need to get someone to teach you how to Jimmer anytime soon to be cool in Phoenix. That’s because the Suns interest in the BYU guard may not be as large as it was once believed to be. ESPN’s Chad Ford, who was the main perpetrator of Fredette to Phoenix rumors, has […]
Steve Nash doesn’t think that openly gay players in the NBA would be a problem. In fact, he seems rather dismissive of the whole issue. “I think it will be something that won’t take on this life of its own. It won’t be the O. J. trial,” Nash said. In an interview with The New […]
The Phoenix Suns want to improve on the defensive end of the court. A report came out Thursday saying the Suns will likely interview Lakers assistant Jim Cleamons to be the team’s defensive coordinator, giving credence to what has been said by Lance Blanks, Lon Babby and Alvin Gentry since the season ended. Unfortunately, it […]
The Phoenix Suns talk about defense like politicians talk about fixing the budget: lip service is paid, but generally nothing gets done to actually address the problem. Neither is an easy fix, due to a multitude of reasons, but at least the Suns may be taking a step — albeit a small one — in […]
Does Steve Nash have a future in an NBA front office? We’re not sure, but he may have a pretty big presence in one right now. In an article about the Los Angeles Lakers hiring of coach Mike Brown, Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped an interesting little tidbit about the Phoenix Suns point guard. The San […]
