Suns Get Two for One

One player is a 7-foot-1 Croatian with a “magic feel” for the game. The other is a 6-10 American with “explosive” athleticism.

For weeks, the Suns debated between selecting one or the other with the fourth overall pick. In the end, they got both.

Though they are both considered power forwards, Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss are about as different as it gets, both on and off the court. If you need proof, just look at their respective choices of draft-night attire.

Of course, style isn't the only characteristic that distinguishes the rookies who now form a big part of the Suns’ frontcourt future.
