Baylor big man Yves Missi is a potential pick for the Phoenix Suns.
The Phoenix Suns are just days away from the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft - and are widely expected to make a pick next Wednesday - regardless if they trade or stick at 22.
Missi could contribute for Phoenix much earlier, however, and possesses a skillset that could be invaluable to a franchise in dire need of athleticism.Missi possesses a 37-inch vertical along with the 7'6" wingspan - that is simply an incredible combo for a prospect that is just short of being a 7-footer.
19 y/o Yves Missi has been one of the most efficient + impactful freshmen bigs in college. Great screener, smart roller, strong finisher, and can play above the rim. Has a skillset that translates to the league day one.To sum it up, Missi just has some abilities that are tough to teach, and some of the other aspects of his development could/should come along with time and quality coaching.
Deandre Ayton came into the NBA as a general non-spacer and never really got a consistent three-point shot in the league, but did become a quality mid-range threat.
