66. <p>The Suns have had a revolving door at just about every position on the floor the past few seasons. Outside of the Philadelphia 76ers, it doesn’t seem like any other team has made as many transactions as the Suns have. Things will probably be the same this summer after a disappointing season — everything should be on the table.</p> <p>One thing we haven’t heard about any of the Suns’ players the last few seasons is that they have a big motor. Despite them taking one big man already in this mock draft, taking another guy like Rabb would give them two new faces who specialize in playing hard and aggressive. Rabb isn’t as athletic as other bigs at the top of this draft, but he makes up for it with his work ethic. Scouts will love how much he communicates on defense. He isn’t going to be an elite rim protector, but he also isn’t going to be a player that teams will attack and exploit. There is value in players that you don’t have to hide, player who don’t have major flaws.</p> <p>In Alex Len, Tyson Chandler, Dragan Bender, and Ivan Rabb, the Suns would have a full front court with four completely different players to choose between. Rabb may not be suited to the fast, uptempo style that Phoenix has played the last few seasons, but he would be a nice change of pace off the bench.</p>. PF. California. Ivan Rabb. 12. player
