With the 2017 NBA Draft only a few short days away, fans are scrambling to familiarize themselves with their favorite team’s future players. For Suns fans, it’s no different. All across the Valley, basketball fans are itching to get to know those top prospects who could be joining the rest of Earl Watson’s young core for 2017.

Phoenix currently sits at the number four overall pick in the draft, behind Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Boston. After trading up in the draft to the number one spot, the 76ers are near locks to take combo guard Markelle Fultz, and the Lakers have been enamored with former UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball for months, so it appears that those two will certainly be off the board by pick number four.

More relevant to Suns fans would be those players who could still be around by the time Ryan McDonough makes his selection.

I’ve dubbed these players the “Phoenix 4”. Let’s take a minute to get to know each of these top prospects.
