The Suns have a roster that will not net them the worst record in the West (that honor will belong to the Rockets, or Hornets), but they definitely will not make the playoffs - I think they're dead-on with their first 9 picks, and the Suns will be in contention for the 10th or 11th spot in the West...

The Suns will presumably start Dragic, Shannon Brown, Michael Beasley, Luis Scola and Marcin Gortat. What's going to happen is Brown will continue to clank pull up 3s in transition because he doesn't have Kobe's presence on the court to create open shots for him, Beasley will ruin a lot of possessions for them, Scola will be relegated to a mid range jump shooter because teams will double him on the block (because Beasley and Gortat are both poor post scorers), and on defense, it's 3 bad defensive players (Scola, Beas, Brown), 1 average (Dragic) and 1 above average in Gortat. And who's on their bench? Robin Lopez, Channing Frye, Jared Dudley. That's a crap-tastic team that is stuck in the middle - out of contention for a top 10 pick, but definitely not good enough to make the playoffs when other teams like Minny are expected to make the leap (and GSW, if Barnes pans out)
