Conclusion

Dekker is the ultimate middle-of-the-pack type player in this draft. He has question marks surrounding his game but also possesses tangibles you can’t teach (size, versatility, instinctiveness, etc.).

He would be a tremendous pick at 13 for the Suns and he could be available by the time their pick comes around, though there’d be question marks on how to split time between him, Archie Goodwin and T.J. Warren. I would give it a 20 percent chance that Dekker is wearing a Suns jersey when next season comes around.

In the meantime, check out these plays and imagine the what-ifs.
