2016 NBA Mock Draft: Lakers Slide, Celtics nab Simmons

4. player. 66. <p>Jaylen Brown is one of the better prospects in this draft, and while there are some red flags, there’s a lot to love about a guy with his physical makeup. Brown is just 19 years old, having left the University of California after just one season, but he stands 6-7 and already weighs a sturdy 225 pounds.</p> <p>While many have been marveling at Brown’s physical abilities for a couple years now, he needs to make several improvements to become a viable player in the NBA. Offensively, Brown lacks a consistent jump shot — he knocked down just 29.4 percent (102 attempts) of his shots from distance as a freshman in the Pac-12. He attacked the rim with ferocity, getting to the line 6.4 times a game, but he only shot 65.4 percent from the charity stripe.</p> <p>Brown is a potential two-way monster and can already guard both wing positions with success. If his offense catches up and he starts knocking down jumpers with consistency, he could go down as one of this draft’s steals.</p> <p>The Suns have three first round picks and, with only 10 players currently on the books for 2016/17, a ton of flexibility when it comes to this year’s draft selections.</p> <p><em>To read more about Jaylen Brown, <a href=.
