8. Phoenix Suns

Original Pick: Marquese Chriss

Redraft Pick: Domantas Sabonis

The Phoenix Suns have actually, historically, been pretty good at drafting quality prospects. Getting Devin Booker at 13 in 2015 is starting to look like highway robbery. They’ve also drafted quality NBA players such as TJ Warren, Bogdan Bogdanovic (Currently killing it in Sacramento) and Josh Jackson in recent years.

In 2016 however, they really blew it. I actually don’t mind Chriss and it kind of looks like he is getting the short end of the stick right now, but Sabonis is way more polished a prospect right now and is doing big things in Indy. Averaging 12 points and eight rebounds on 53 percent shooting from the field, the son of Arvydas (Would be a cool movie name BTW), has got a fan in me.
