5. What would you grade the Phoenix Suns draft day?

EB: I’d give the Suns a C-. They failed to address their biggest weakness on the team, the center position.
I do like the addition of Devin Booker and Andrew Harrison (since traded to Memphis for Jon Leuer), but the Suns have fallen back into the cycle of having nearly half the team be guards. If the Suns want to compete in the West they must look to add a more serviceable center.

BK: I would give the Suns a C+. Sure they did not address their need of finding a long term solution at center (even though some of you are insistent that Alex Len will continue to develop and I am 100 percent okay with giving him two more years max to figure it out). Devin Booker was one of my favorite draft prospects this year (I love me some outside shooters) and he could go a long way toward contributing to the Suns long ball game especially after finishing last in the NBA in three-point percentage after the All-Star break last year.
