The Phoenix Suns are in dire need of a franchise center. Luckily for them, this draft should have one available to them. To me, this pick comes down to Jaren Jackson Jr. and Mohamed Bamba. Jackson seems like a high floor guy, who also has a reasonably high ceiling. Full unicorn potential. But Bamba seems like he has a slightly higher ceiling. The big man from Texas definitely comes with risk, especially when it comes to lower body strength and shooting. However, the allure of his wingspan and ability to grow into a Rudy Gobert type with shooting is really hard to pass on. Either center would be a great fit for a Suns team in need of a defensive anchor.. C. Texas. Mohamed Bamba. 3. player. 66
