3. Timothe Luwawu

Luwawu might be a lesser known prospect as an overseas player, but this 6’7″ shooting guard/small forward from France could provide the Suns with extra wing depth.

At only 21 years old (and he just turned 21 on May 9), Luwawu had a breakthrough season in the Adriatic League, averaging 16.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game on .435/.420/.667 shooting splits in 12 appearances for Mega Leks.

This might be a bit of a reach at No. 13, especially for a team that could have Brandon Knight, Devin Booker, Archie Goodwin, Bogdan Bogdanovic, P.J. Tucker and T.J. Warren all fighting for minutes on the wing, but Luwawu is a long and athletic forward with potential on the defensive end.

Between his physical profile, 7’2″ wingspan, solid frame and young age, Luwawu could prove to be a solid NBA starter as he continues to fill out. As a wing who can make plays above the rim and knock down catch-and-shoot threes with a pure stroke, Luwawu is worth looking into.

Next: No. 2
