Knight and Bledsoe are going to be the ones shepherding these young bigs on offense. Let's hope having a couple of big targets will get them passing.

Overall, it seems like a good draft for us. I'm very happy with the picks and moves. I'm a bit bummed we won't see Bog in a Suns' uniform a year from now, but it is what it is.

Wait, is Skal ours too, or was Wilbon mistaken?

Wilbon's mistaken, we took him at 28 for the Kings as part of the deal for Chriss

ended up being Bogdan/Skal/Greek Center/2020 2nd rounder for Chriss

Were are just YOUNG talent at crazy rate

Bledsoe 26
Knight 24
Booker 19
Chriss 18
Bender 18.........it's so awesome to type those two names and its for real

Len 23
TJ 23

Bender can play the 4 and 5 in the future
Chris can play the 3 and 4 in the future and some 5 possible.

Small/Tall Ball

Bledsoe 6'1
Knight 6'3
Booker 6'7
Chriss 6'10
Bender 7'1

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE JUST DRAFTED TWO 18-YEAR-OLDS. DON'T TURN ON THEM AFTER A SEASON OR TWO

Chad Ford's analysis

4
Phoenix
Dragan Bender 7-1 216 PF
Croatia
Analysis:
I love this pick for the Suns. They have a huge need at the 4, and Bender is the prototypical new stretch 4 in the NBA. He is a very good shooter, and he protects the rim, rebounds and can guard multiple positions. I think Marquese Chriss has more upside and could make the Suns regret this pick, but Bender is a safer pick.

8
Marquese Chriss 6-10 233 PF
Washington
I'm a big Marquesse Chriss fan and a little surprised he slid to No. 8. I'm even more surprised the Kings would reportedly trade him for No. 13, No. 28, Bogdan Bogdanovic and a 2020 second-rounder. None of those players will have Chriss' upside. For the Suns? Great move. They were debating Chriss versus Bender up until right before the draft. Now they get both. Chriss' athletic ability should allow him to play the 3, at times, next to Bender. I think the Suns got significantly better tonight.

yup

by the time they are ready, Bledsoe and Knight are likely on another team(s).

Bender 7'1

all can shoot the

So I take it you are happy with the draft?

Who was my guy? He was picked 4th and it didn't matter after that, but to still have Chriss.......C'Mon?

Lets go big

Bledsoe 6'1
Booker 6'7
Marquese 6'10 or Warren 6'8
Bender 7'1
Len 7'2

Still 4 3pt shooters

You should copy this, save it, and post it in every thread discussing them and every game thread for the next two years.

happiest I've been with a draft in a while, although I was happy with Booker last year

Made a variation of it in my signature.

We drafted two guys that are younger than josh Jackson, possible top 3 pick next year.

What is your 2016 Phoenix Suns Draft Grade?
