Jeff Hornacek recently hired Mark West and Roy Rogers to be part of his staff, suggesting a commitment to developmental work with young post players. "Having two bigs coaches is kind of interesting in terms of where they might be going in the draft," one league personnel executive said. Ryan McDonough suggested the Suns will avoid using the fifth and 30th picks on players who occupy similar areas of the floor.

The most familiar name is former Suns center and Hornacek teammate Mark West, who moves to coaching assistant from the role of vice president of player programs. Another familiar name -- for other reasons -- is Roy Rogers. Rogers, a power forward who was a first-round pick (22nd overall) by the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1996, played for four NBA teams before finishing his career in Europe. He coached in the D-League, worked as an assistant to Lawrence Frank with the New Jersey Nets, scouted for the Nets, was on the staff of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and, most recently, assisted Frank in Detroit. The third reported addition is former Boston Celtics guard Jerry Sichting. Sichting, who starred at Purdue before his NBA career, worked as a scout, development coach and bench coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves under former Celtics teammate Kevin McHale.

The Suns are a rudderless ship, full of complimentary pieces and very little frame.

We have to evaluate all of these guys, figure out where they’re going to go. And then if we can get in at a particular range where a guy is undervalued, we’ll try to get in and get him there.” McDonough worked out six players on Friday, including C.J. Leslie, who could be on the board when it’s time for the Suns to make their second selection. “Good athlete, very long, can do some nice things attacking from the elbow,” McDonough said. “It (the NBA) is becoming more positionless. For a guy with C.J.’s size and length and athletic ability, to be able to defend some of these really athletic 3s (small forwards) with some size, that would be intriguing to a guy like me.” Sat, 08 Jun 2013 11:44:04 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/suns_have_explored_adding_additional_first_round_pick/13790675 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/suns_have_explored_adding_additional_first_round_pick/13790675 Suns Have Explored Adding Additional First Round Pick http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/suns_have_explored_adding_additional_first_round_pick/13790675 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png The Phoenix Suns have named Pat Connelly Assistant General Manager and Trevor Bukstein has been promoted to Assistant General Manager. Ronnie Lester has been named a scout and Emilio Kovacic has been named International Scouting Consultant. John Treloar will remain the team’s Director of Player Personnel; John Shumate and Bubba Burrage remain scouts. The Suns hired Ryan McDonough as general manager this offseason. Connelly joins the Suns following seven seasons with the Washington Wizards, most recently as the Director of Player Personnel where he was one of the team’s top scouting sources of collegiate and international talent.
