Suns have their big of the future.
2. SACRAMENTO KINGS
Kings Select Marvin Bagley With No. 2 Overall Pick

9. NEW YORK KNICKS
Knicks Select Kevin Knox With No. 9 Overall Pick
Kevin Knox let the bag out early about the Knicks were going to pick him. Knox has a lot of upside and general managers recognized that late in the draft process that shot him
