. . Arizona. DeAndre Ayton. 1. player. 66. C

I am not sold he is the best NBA prospect in this draft, but I am not an NBA scout so what do I know? But Ayton is definitely top 3 and a perfect fit for the Phoenix Suns. Alex Len has been underwhelming and probably not offered back. Tyson Chandler is only getting older and not the same player he once was.

Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender have yet to develop as hoped. So it only makes sense to take Ayton and start him right away alongside Devin Booker and T. J. Warren. The narrative of Doncic being the pick because of their new head coach is a possibility, but the Suns will not pass up on Ayton.
