The Suns acquired shooting guard Goran Dragic from the Spurs for small forward Malik Hairston and a 2nd round pick in 2009. Dragic is 6′4″, 180 pounds and he’s from Slovenia. Dragic has played in 194 games (53 starts) in the pros overseas and he averaged 8.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Don’t expect much from Dragic in the near future for the Suns.

The Suns figured that they wanted a big man to back up Shaq this season and Lopez was the best center left on the board. Lopez isn’t much of an offensive player but he’s a good rebounder and defender. He is a big guy at 7′0″, 255 and he likes to throw his body around. Lopez played in 67 games (61 starts) at Stanford and he averaged 8.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.3 blocked shots per game. Lopez was picked with an eye on the future.
