1. Phoenix Suns – DeAndre Ayton, C, Arizana

No real change here, but expect to hear the Phoenix Suns in the trade market in the hours leading up to the NBA Draft. They really don’t have anything to lose and could try to make a big splash on draft night.

In the end, I don’t think they make a big move and elect to stay put at No. 1 instead. With the top pick, they’re going to take DeAndre Ayton who is a physical monster in the frontcourt that is going to come in averaging 10 boards per contest.

His offense is something that he still needs to hone, but the talent is there and he will grow nicely with Devin Booker and the rest of young talent that the Suns currently have on their roster.
