4.) Phoenix Suns — Jonathan Isaac, Florida State — Small Forward

With the Celtics taking the second best small forward in the draft, the Suns will take the third best small forward in the draft.

The Suns don’t need a guard in this draft as they have that already with Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker. Isaac, who defends very well and can score at will is a two-way player the Suns need. Isaac defends very well and can also score the ball at will. He averaged 12 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals for Florida State.

If Isaac does not go to Phoenix, he has the potential to slip a bit in this draft. The Suns, after giving up P.J. Tucker need a player like Isaac, so he probably will not make it past pick four.
