The former University of Hawaii forward doesn't expect his name to be announced during the NBA Draft selection show that day. He will watch the telecast with interest, however, paying particular attention to his hometown Phoenix Suns.
Barring a trade involving Charles Barkley to obtain a higher draft pick, the Suns will be the 15th team to pick in the first round. Sueing's interest is in whether Phoenix goes after a small forward; if so, that player could be Sueing's main competition for a roster spot.
Sueing has been invited to the Suns' free-agent camp later this week and also will play for the Suns in the Rocky Mountain Review, an NBA-sponsored summer league in Utah. The 6-foot-6 forward is one of four former Rainbows pursuing an NBA dream this summer; ex-Hawaii players Anthony Harris and Phil Handy have also received free-agent camp invitations and Tes Whitlock will be competing in the Los Angeles Pro Summer League.
"I'd like to play at home in Phoenix, go with what I know," said Sueing. "But it don't matter if it's another team that wants me.
"Right now, I'm just working out every day. Who wouldn't want to play if they got the chance?"
Handy, a 6-5 forward who last played for Hawaii in 1994-95, signed a summer contract with the Portland Trail Blazers to play in the Rocky Mountain Review, and has been invited to their fall veterans camp. The Bay Area native also received a camp invite from the Golden State Warriors and inquiries from the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Clippers.
"Portland is very interested in me, they're pleased with my abilities, but they are concerned about my toughness," said Handy, who was Golden State's final cut last October. "I know I have some things to prove but I also know that the NBA is within my grasp.
"I think I've surprised a lot of people and proved a lot of critics wrong. My name is definitely out there. I just want to get my foot in the door."
Handy played for Omaha in the Continental Basketball Association and was named to the league's all-rookie team. He also played for Florida in the U.S. Basketball League.
Harris, the leading scorer in the Western Athletic Conference this season, is being pursued by the Golden State Warriors. The 6-foot-2 guard from Connecticut is projected at point guard, not off guard where he averaged 22.4-points a game for Hawaii.
It's a long shot, but Harris could be a late second-round pick. If not, he will go to Golden State's free-agent camp next month.
