We examine several assignments of spin and parity for the pentaquark {theta}{sup +} state (J{sup P}=1/2{sup {+-}},3/2{sup {+-}}) in connection with known baryon resonances. Assuming that the {theta}{sup +} belongs to an antidecuplet representation which mixes with an octet, we calculate the mass spectra of the flavor partners of the {theta}{sup +} based on the SU(3) symmetry. The decay widths of the {theta}{sup +} and nucleon partners are analyzed for the consistency check of the mixing angle obtained from the masses. It is found that a suitable choice of the mixing angle successfully reproduces the observed masses of {theta}(1540) and {xi}{sub 3/2}(1860), when their spin and parity are assigned to be J{sup P}=3/2{sup -}, together with other J{sup P}=3/2{sup -} resonances. The decay widths of {theta}{yields}KN, N(1520){yields}{pi}N, and N(1700){yields}{pi}N are also reproduced simultaneously.
