6: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kentucky.

The 6’6″ point guard has been a leader for a Kentucky team playing well as of late. Of course, a freshman, but sometimes SGA’s poise is that of an upperclassmen. While the point guard spot is an uncertainty in Phoenix, Gilgeous-Alexander could develop nicely next to fellow Wildcat Devin Booker. Averaging 14 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, and with such length and athleticism, SGA’s playmaking and scoring ability could help boost the young Suns’ offensive output.

The skilled combo guard is no Steph Curry from 3, but he is very good on both ends of the court.
