Maybe it is for the benefit of confusing possible trade partners.

It also *might* mean that's the impetus behind trading for #5, so we can get both.

Normally that might not be good, but with everybody being a seller in the draft (as evidenced by the HUGE list of purported teams wishing to trading their first round picks), it might be possible and not too expensive.

An additional way it would make sense is McD has long said he wants to have a group of guys together along the same age/rights lines. With Booker and a bunch of draftees, and possible departures of Knight and/or Bledsoe, he'd be reloading that idea for another try.

I don't think the Suns would want both Chriss and Bender but who knows.

Maybe the Jaylen Brown selection by the Celtics opens up some trade options for the Suns.

Dragon Bender is the one I'm not a huge fan of for us so I think he's probably going to be the pick.

This is the absolue low point

This is Len at 5 all over again, a top5 pick wasted on a guy that will never wow anyone..

So the Suns draft Dragan Bender at #4.

I was hoping the Suns would trade down here.

What a joke what a freaking joke.

I honestly can't even express my disappointment
