Adding a more traditional point guard via the draft would change the dynamic of the team to a large degree, even if that means drafting an experienced college player whose top end as a prospect is that of a career backup.
Center versatility can come in many different forms after Nurkic was limited in the first-round sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves and backup Drew Eubanks, who has a player option, was pushed out of the rotation by Game 4.
Drafting a rim-rolling shot-blocker with high starting potential is the target with the 22nd overall pick — but also a crapshoot. Do the Suns settle for a small-ball ball-mover? A floor-spacer? Or do they double down on what Nurkic provides with his size, offensive hub capabilities and reasonable enough defense?
As we did with the point guards, we’re preferring prospects who appear capable of jumping into an NBA rotation without developmental years. Here’s who could potentially fall to the Suns at No. 22.
