On Thursday night, the Phoenix Suns surprised a lot of people by sending Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss to the Rockets for De’Anthony Melton and Ryan Anderson. Overall, it was a good trade for the Suns
Melton is an enticing prospect who could be the perfect fit next to Devin Booker. He’s a capable facilitator, an elite defender, and an improving perimeter shooter. Despite many analysts being high on him, he fell all the way to 46th in the draft. An impressive Summer League suggests a lot of general managers may have been wrong.
