Phoenix Suns: 5 Players To Draft With No. 4 Pick

3. Jamal Murray

Again, Suns fans may ignite their torches and sharpen their pitchforks if another Kentucky point guard is added to this roster, but if Phoenix does use the fourth overall pick on a guard, Jamal Murray might be their best bet.

As a 19-year-old, Murray averaged 20.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game for the Wildcats. He shot 45.4 percent from the field, 40.8 percent from three-point range on a staggering 7.7 attempts per game and at 6’5″, he has decent size for the 1-spot.

The only way being such a well-rounder player can be more enjoyable is with the proper celebrations to back it up and, well, Murray passes that test too:

Though he’s not an explosive athlete and borderlines on tweener territory as a 2-guard, the Suns have historically been enamored with combo guards under McDonough. With the team possibly in need of a backup point guard, that might be the position he’d play anyway.

Murray is an efficient shooter, he sees the floor well, he’s aggressive when he’s got the ball in his hands and yes, we can’t ignore the Kentucky connection for a team that already has Bledsoe, Knight, Devin Booker and Archie Goodwin.

Murray may be off the board by the time the Suns pick, but if he’s still there, he’ll definitely be in the conversation for “best player available.”

Next: No. 2
