4. Phoenix Suns

Pick: Marquese Chriss, PF, Washington

The Phoenix Suns can go any number of ways with the No. 4 overall pick. Ultimately, though, even though there are some attractive guards still on the board, I believe they will try and address the power forward position. Perhaps someone that can play in today’s evolving league.

Someone like Marquese Chriss, who is arguably one of the most talented, raw players in this draft. His ceiling is as high as anyone in this draft. Phoenix should bet on him.

Chriss is athletic, has size and a workable jumper. He should be able to fit right it with what Phoenix wants to do. Plus, I honestly can’t see them taking another guard.
