Heading into the 2016 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns have plenty of options. Aside from possessing four picks in the top-34, general manager Ryan McDonough will have a bevy of upcoming free agents, disgruntled stars and possible trade packages to sift through this summer.

With a collection of young but movable assets, the Suns have a ton of flexibility to make a move in any direction. Navigating such open waters may prove to be impossible if the goal is a one-year turnaround, but with three first round picks to work with, McDonough has weapons at his disposal.

Assuming that packaging some or all of those picks to land a franchise player becomes impossible,  however, what should the Suns actually do with their first round picks?

In the weeks leading up to the draft, we’ll be taking a look at each selection the Suns own and laying out the top prospects at that spot. To get things started, here’s a look at the five best draft options for the Phoenix Suns with the fourth overall pick.
