Draft board

     The Suns had a disappointing season this year which resulted in Jeff Hornacek being fired and Earl Watson filling in as his replacement.  Markieff Morris was dealt at the trade deadline to Washington for a 1st round pick that is currently slotted at #13.  The Suns have a blend of youth and veterans highlighted by Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, and Brandon Knight.  Their other young players consist of Alex Len, T.J. Warren, and Archie Goodwin.  With three 1st round picks and an early 2nd round pick they will be able to start rebuilding nicely.

     (Updated 7/4/2016) The Suns had a very good draft where they got both of the PF's they originally wanted.  Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss are high upside guys who add great talent to their young core.  Tyler Ulis is another candidate for "steal of the draft", while the fit is questionable, he was the best player available at #34 and potentially allows the Suns to deal Knight or Bledsoe.  

Draft Grade: A-
