Bender - 1.6 steals, 2.3 blocks, 6.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 14.5 points, .57 TS
Porzingis - 1.7 steals, 1.9 blocks, 8.6 rebounds, 1 assists, 20.5 points, .58 TS
His combination of steals, blocks and assists is pretty good and his scoring could be worse. Notably Porzingis played twice the games and twice the minutes and had a real responsibility on his team.
But after looking at it I wouldn't call Bender's real numbers as disastrous enough to freak out about.

How is per40 a barometer for anything? Nobody plays 40 minutes per anymore.

On a team that requires him to carry them or be a top 2 option.... He is likely to dissappoint.

Jaylen Brown - according to draftexpress and nbadraft.net. Should be there if we are picking 4-5.

My dream scenario:
Suns wins the lottery, pick Simmons
Then they trade Bledsoe to get Brown
Knight-Booker-Brown-Simmons-Len
Fastbreaks with Simmons and Brown would be mad
