LaVine is the most realistic outcome for the Phoenix Suns in the 2014 NBA Draft. He’s an young combo guard with as much upside as anyone in the draft because of his size and incredible athleticism. LaVine has the least impressive number of anyone on this list, averaging 9.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting 44 percent from the field and 37 percent from three-point range.

But LaVine also posted the best time in the lane agility drill at the draft combine and showed off his speed and explosiveness in every drill. The Suns already have Dragic and Bledsoe in the backcourt, but Phoenix doesn’t have a lot of backcourt depth after that. Archie Goodwin is a promising prospect, but the Suns shouldn’t hesitate to add this 19-year-old to their reserves because of his athleticism, potential and versatility.
