Out of the players likely available in the mid to late 20s' ( Phoenixs' projected range). Which player/ players fit best as potential impact contributors that address Phoenixs' biggest needs??

as a Phoenix fan what are the Suns biggest needs?

doesn't feel like they have too many glaring needs, maybe a replacement for Crowder in which case I'd take a guy like Jalen Wilson, Terrence Shannon or Kris Murray if they are available at that point and both should contribute almost immediately.

if they want more 'home run' guys that don't necessarily need to play immediately then a guy like Judah Mintz, JJ Starling or a Jordan Walsh are intriguing developmental pieces.

it's still early tho tbh so it's tough to say who will be available at that point in the draft still.

Thanks for the response!
Very true that it's a bit too early to ask this, but I just figured why not to get some insight from the best draft minds on which prospects to keep a close eye on! As for the suns biggest needs, I'd currently rank them at an athletic 3 & D jumbo wing or 3 & D forward that can rebound/ defend ( recovery and switchable defense. And another isolation scorer ( wing or combo guard that can break down the defense. Lastly a tough gritty player that can score through physicality and generate free throws and make energizing plays to get our players fired up when they lack passion / urgency.

Those are our biggest needs in no specific order.

someone ready to contribute maybe like kris Murray or terrence shannon?

Suns need a big who can shoot and a point guard.

Thought you're a BPA no matter what kind of guy.

you're thinking of the wrong guy?

i think BPA is largely lazy NBA GM speak, only applies when you have a guy like Zion or Vic, otherwise rarely do you have a guy that's so clearly better than everyone else on the board where you have to ignore positional, schematic and personnel fits in the process. and the lower you go in the draft the less BPA exists.
