The Suns are going to wish Boston took Tatum, but because they won’t, the Suns will have to settle for Fox or make a trade. Fox has refused to work out for Phoenix but that shouldn’t matter. What matters is that he is a tall, quick, defensively capable point guard who can be an immediate replacement for Eric Bledsoe and the perfect backcourt pairing for the next decade with Devin Booker. His energy and willingness to play both sides of the ball will help to hide his deficiencies in size, strength, and shooting, but his ability to help hide Booker’s own defensive deficiencies might actually make him the best pick possible for the Suns at number four.
