  1. Hmmmm. I can’t see Phoenix going for both Flaherty and Buss; too similar, IMO, and I’m not even sure both will get drafted (though in that situation, Phoenix might draft one and bring the other in on a training camp invite, then pit them against each other).

    As a Liberty fan, I’m also not sure we can afford to think far enough into the future that taking an overseas player who might not come this year is a viable plan. Attendance is going to crater with the WCC move, and Dolan is still looking to sell the team. I think we’re more in need of a small forward or an enforcer-type center to support/protect Tina Charles. I wasn’t enthused about Kia Vaughn the first time, let alone the second time. (If Tina doesn’t show up this year- which I doubt, but hey, stranger things have happened- then… well, we don’t need to protect Tina, but I’m also pretty sure we are doomed and no draft pick can save us.)
