The Suns got themselves two decent Power Forwards Thursday night in the 2nd Round of the NBA Draft. They were the 46th and 60th picks. Some people may say that 2nd Round draft picks don't matter in the NBA. I am here to tell you that they do matter. If you can draft impact players in the 2nd Round of the Draft, that will go a long way in helping you win a championship. I think the Suns got 2 beasts in this years draft. Gani Lawal(left) is from Georgia Tech. He is 6'8'' and 233 lbs. with a wing span of 7'2''. He is a good rebounder and defender. Some think he was going to be a lottery pick this year, but Georgia Tech signed PF Derrick Favors (the 3rd player taken in this years draft) and Favors played ahead of him. So his minutes went down and he was not able to showcase his abilities as much. He has some good post moves. He is a very good player and I think he will play on a nightly basis. A starter? It's a possibility. He might be a solid guy off the bench too. Dwayne Collins(right) is from Miami. He is 6'9'' and 241 lbs. with a wingspan of 7'4''. This guy is a straight up BEAST. He is huge. His hand is 11'' long! He is a good rebounder and defender. He has some post moves too. I think he has a strong chance to make the team too. The Suns got exactly who they wanted. I think both of these players will make the team and they will make a lot of teams regret not taking them. Great Draft Suns!! The only bad thing is, I think this signals the end of the Amare era. I think Louis Amundson is gone too. I'm going to miss these guys.
