2. Phoenix Suns- Lonzo Ball (UCLA, FR, Point Guard)

Like the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns have a good group of guards at the moment, but Lonzo Ball will be too tempting to pass up on.

Ball has the ability to change a franchise and the Suns desperately need another face to build around along with Devin Booker.

Ball has great size, a great basketball IQ and is a clutch playmaker, just ask Oregon. Ball’s abilities to drive to the rim along with his much improved shooting (43.2% from three-point range) would give the Suns another deadly weapon.

A smaller lineup of Ball, Booker and Eric Bledsoe would be a thrill to watch.
