4. player. 66. Hopefully Michael Porter Jr. gets healthy because the potential debate of him vs. Mohamed Bamba is fascinating. Porter has the potential to be a No. 1 scoring option and mismatch as essentially a 6’10” shooting guard. On the flip side, Bamba’s enormous wingspan could make him the next great defensive center. There’s a strong case and fit for both guys on a rebuilding Phoenix Suns team. <p>For now, Bamba is a bit safer given Porter’s injury. Bamba has his red flags with how raw he is on offense and his motor, but if those are reeled in he has immense two-way potential as his jumper looks projectable. A strong defensive foundation could lead Phoenix into its next great era. Bamba could be that anchor that frees up <a rel=. C. Texas. Mohamed Bamba
