    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mile Ilic pulled out of last year's NBA draft when he did not get a first-round guarantee. A day after deciding to stay in this year's draft, Ilic worked out Wednesday for the Suns against Polish big man Marcin Gortat.

    Apparently, someone likes the Serbian 20-year-old's 7-foot-1 frame and 9-foot-5 standing reach. Ilic said he stayed in this year's draft because he believes he will be taken in the first round, "maybe first 15." He had worked out only for Denver but also plans to go to New York.

    "It's my dream," Ilic said. "I want to play NBA, but maybe I'm not strong (enough)." </div>
