No “most exciting Suns lineup” would be complete without the high-flying Marquese Chriss. Last season, Earl Watson put ‘Quese into the starting lineup early on in the year and never looked back. Since that point we have seen Marquese develop into more than just a dunker.

Although it never hurts to be able to do this, Chriss has shown Suns fans that he is capable of producing offensively in many situations. He can spot up from three, pull up from 20 feet, and finish over anyone at the rim.

Frankly, you could not argue that another Sun should occupy this spot. Marquese Chriss is the perfect pick to finish up this most exciting starting five.
