2019 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: The post Combine edition, OKC Thunder still focused on shooting
By Rylan Stiles
Coby White was one of the most fun players in all of College Basketball to watch a year ago. Admittedly, part of his was his amazing hair, but a lot of it was his production on the court for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
White posted 16 points per game, three rebounds, four assists, and shot 35 percent from beyond the arc.
He was a great spot up three point shooter, with a knack for finding the open man, which is pretty important from the point guard position.
At 6’4″ White is a very good defender despite his wingspan being just 6’5″. His speed and quickness make him a defensive wizard despite his lack of length.
The Suns have been looking for a point guard to pair with Devin Booker for the entirety of his career, and I believe Coby White could be that answer for the Suns.
White, Ayton, Booker, is a solid young core. But truthfully, it will not ease the pain of what could have been when the organization and its fanbase thought they were certainly going to land the second pick and end up with Ja Morant.
