Marcus Weathers felt beyond good leaving Phoenix after having his pre-draft workout Sunday with the Suns.

“It went great,” Weathers said. “I thought the group was great. I really appreciated the Suns looking at a guy like me and bringing me in.”

The 6-5, 215-pound forward out of SMU with a 37-inch vertical and 7-foot wingspan is viewed as a draft sleeper. He’s already had workouts with Charlotte, San Antonio, Phoenix and Dallas – and another one scheduled this week with Minnesota.

"I think the best thing about him that I appreciated was he's a tough kid," University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. "He plays with no fear. Got a chip on his shoulder. Tough, tough kid."
