Williams, not Fredette, is worth trading up for

The Phoenix Suns may identify the guy they want, but waiting for him to fall to 13 may be a bad idea. So, the only other option would be trading up. That would not be a good idea, according to Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug Franz, if player they covet is Jimmer Fredette. “I look at […]

The big NBA news in Phoenix on Monday wasn’t that the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title last night, it was that Jimmer Fredette was in town to workout for the Suns as they prepare for next week’s draft.

Jimmer mania arrives in Phoenix for workout

Jimmer Mania is coming to Phoenix … at least for a couple of days. Fredette said via Twitter Sunday that he was in the Valley and he wasn’t exactly a fan of the heat (and we’re not talking about LeBron and the crew). In Phoenix now and its unreal how today isn’t considered that hot […]
