The Pulse: Dragic should play in the World Cup

Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It’s the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.

Thursday, we asked if you agreed with Goran Dragic’s decision to play for Slovenia in the FIBA World Cup.

A total of 566 votes were submitted, 280 of which went toward agreeing with the point guard’s decision.

It wasn’t a clear-cut choice, however, as 220 votes went to “No” and another 60 to “Undecided.”

Recently, Suns GM Ryan McDonough said the team supports their star’s decision, even saying it “can be a positive thing for him and us.”

However, if Dragic wears down during the NBA season because of what should be a somewhat strenuous offseason, the decision may not look so good after all.
