No. 4 Phoenix Suns- De’ Aaron Fox (Kentucky, FR, Point Guard)

De’Aaron Fox is my favorite player in the draft. I truly believe he’ll be a star in this league. Fox is a quick playmaker who sets up teammates nicely, who made incredible strides throughout his season at Kentucky.

He’s tight on the defensive end, which Phoenix would benefit from immediately.

Fox and Devin Booker would make a dynamic duo in the backcourt and would be a nice replacement for Eric Bledsoe, who they could try to move.

Phoenix would probably select Josh Jackson if he was there at four, or move down to take another big, but Fox here is too tempting to pass up on. And he’s only going to continue to rise up the draft boards.
