Would hate to see what they could put out there without Steve running the show. I didn't realize that the Spurs took Blair. With all they have in the front line, perhaps they could hide an undersize 'big'. Pop will get him in shape or he will be long gone. Adam,

They did draft a player (Blair) who is only 6'5" at Power Forward this year. I think sometimes a great player regardless of size can get it done at the next level. However, you are absolutely right Tucker is a forward by trade and transitioning to a new position is pretty tough in the NBA. He will make the team because of his buyout is high; but he won't play much and will go elsewhere after his contract expires. I hope the Suns go after at least one more free-agent this summer, however I doubt it with the way Sarver wants to save money. Den,

Perhaps he is going to take advantage of his opportunities this year. I certainly wouldn't be concerned with Dragic at this point. He played much better toward the end of the season and he could be one of the most improved players in the league this year. They are both so young. It is difficult to know just what they are capable of producing. Taylor Griffith will not make the Suns roster. I doubt that they will keep Tucker either. Both are undersize for their positions. I realize that Tucker is trying to make it at the 2 guard but he is a natural forward which is where he played at Wisconsin. The Suns and other teams in the NBA continually take players that are two small for their positions. You don't see this happening at a place like San Antonio. You don't see the NFL teams drafting offensive linemen who weigh less than 300 pounds. You don't see them taking skill position players who are slow. Why do the Suns continue to pick players who have an immediate disadvantage in height for the position? If only you were the GM. Hey Adam,
