Guard: Luka Doncic

Assuming the Suns draft the Slovenian from Real Madrid with their pick come June, the team would be getting one of the most one of the top European prospects in sometime.

Currently playing for Real Madrid in a league that is considered one of the best in the world, Luka Doncic is currently averaging 14.8 pgg, 5.1 rpg, and 4.6 apg. Wowing viewers with his control of the pace and feel for the game that comes natural to him.

The Suns need an identity and prolific point guard play. Doncic can provide both.

Already having won a FIBA EuroBasket championship, the Suns would be adding a winner. And with how well he sees the floor, it would pay dividends to players like Booker and Warren. Making their lives as scorers easier.

There are questions about his athleticism and some Suns fans would prefer the larger than life DeAndre Ayton. With that said, if a scenario appear where Ayton is off the board wherever the Suns other than one, Doncic should be the top target no questions asked.
