Pick #10: Cole Anthony

To round out the top-10, the Phoenix Suns should be looking to draft UNC point guard, Cole Anthony. Coming into the NCAA season, he was projected to be a top-3 pick, but with injuries and North Carolina’s brutal season, his stock has fallen.

In watching him at UNC, he seems to have a high usage rate, but that is partly due to how bad his team is, and against other good point guards, his defense can be shaky at times.

BUT, I would compare his game to Trae Young’s. I know defensive gurus will be slamming their phones reading this, but he has the ceiling to be a very explosive point guard in the NBA and should be seriously considered, especially if he falls to pick #10.
