2016 NBA Mock Draft: Post-Lottery Edition

66. <strong>Age:</strong> 18 (7/2/1997)<br /> <strong>Height, Weight, Wingspan:</strong> 6’10”, 233 pounds, 7’0.25″<br /> <strong>Slash Line:</strong> .530/.350/.682<br /> <strong>Season Averages:</strong> 24.9 MPG, 13.7 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 2.5 ORPG, 0.8 APG, 1.6 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 0.6 3PM <p>The Phoenix Suns have an overwhelming amount of perimeter talent, and drafting Jaylen Brown would only accumulate further wealth. What Phoenix lacks, however, is a player who can dominate the defensive interior.</p> <p>Deyonta Davis is higher on my board, but Marquese Chriss’ ability to hit the 3-ball makes him the more likely choice for the Suns.</p> <p>Chriss’ primary knock was his thin frame, but he came to the 2016 NBA Draft Combine at a better-than-expected 233 pounds. He also measured at 6’10″—an inch taller than his listed height—with a 7’0.25″ wingspan and a 38.5-inch max vertical leap—wonderful physical gifts.</p> <p>Every team that needs a stretch 4 who can block shots—you can count those that don’t quicker than those that do—will be eyeing him on draft night.</p> <p>Chriss is an inexperienced player who only picked up the game a few years ago, but he’s already come a long way. He has the offensive tools to be a stretch 4 with a solid jump shot, immense value in the pick-and-roll, and the defensive upside to be a genuine anchor.</p> <p>Chriss is a tantalizing prospect who could come off the board in the Top 10 this June.</p>.
