Since there is Dzanan Musa on the list and you probably don't know him too well, I will put here my opinion on him. I know him probably even better then Doncic, since he plays in our regional league.
PROS: Dzanan is extremely skilled player. His size is great for a SG, he can shoot from whatever position. Also his penetration and finish under the rim is very reliable. He plays smart, doesn't have a lot of turnouvers and is a solid rebounder. Great with ball. If he gets into the rhythm he is literally unstoppable. Solid athlete, better than some other European guys. He has a lot of room for improvement.
CONS: He is not the strongest guy, but he can improve that. Very inconsistent defender, sometimes he seems like he is saving his power for attack. His court vision is not the best, but also not so bad. Sometimes he can be selfish.
I believe that he will become very useful NBA player some day. Suns should consider picking him if they pick center at 1. But I don't know American guys in that area of draft standings, so I can't compare him to them.
I know this is a weird question, but is there something wrong with his back? It has a weird curve or hump to it. Is he likely to have back trouble because of it?

Thanks for the scouting report. I finally took a look at him a few days ago. Should definitely be in play at 31.

We all know we need a play maker with good court vision. Holiday is known for how he sees the floor...our current PG roster is a big MEH. If we don't take Doncic at 1...and we go big, as we SHOULD...PREACH IT UNCLE GENE, PREACH IT FROM CAMELBACK! FIX THE PAINT!...and take Bamba or Ayton at 1 (I hope we do a good job on evals before we decide!)...then we still need a good PG. Holiday is the closest thing to a true PG in the que that we have a chance of being available at 16. I'd even look to move up at least a few slots if we can swing it to make sure we get him.

Any chance of getting Okobo at 31? Or is he a first-rounder at this point?

I think I can live with Ayton-Holliday, if that’s how it works out.
If McD is serious about this “too many young players” talk, I would hope it’s the second rounders that get traded, not 16 and definitely not 1.

Would you trade #1 and Chriss or Bender for KLove and the 8th?
No. They probably will move Love, but not until LeBron tells them he's "outta here".

Did anyone see ESPNs draft preview show tonight? They had the Suns pick Ayton #1 and Aaron Holiday #16. Michael Porter jr went 15. If that happened, I would trade up for MPJ and find a pg at 31.

First pick in the second round is quite valuable. Great for the draft and stash who slipped.
Yup, draft-and-stash is another good way to deal with the “too many young players” problem, assuming you see it as a problem.
