5th Pick

In this trade, the Suns get both the 5th and 10th pick in this year’s draft, with a chance to draft two quality young players to strengthen their core even more. If Sacramento falls in love with Jayson Tatum, and they’re afraid of the Suns taking him or trading with someone else who takes him, they may offer both their picks to move up. They’d also get the Miami pick next year, and Brandon Knight, who is still young and on an affordable contract for either a decent starting point guard, or top notch sixth man off the bench.

. Forward. Florida State. Jonathan Isaac. 5. player. 66

I still really like Isaac here. The idea that’s been talked about is that Isaac could actually become a center for the team in a few years, seeing as he’s currently 6’11” and could easily grow another inch or two. He would bring a lot of defense immediately. He has good shot-blocking length and instincts, plus the footwork and lateral quickness to defend on the perimeter as well, qualities that are becoming more and more valuable in today’s NBA game.
