The Phoenix Suns have selected Zhaire Smith, guard from Texas Tech, with the 16th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Smith will reportedly be traded to the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith's main contributions at Texas Tech were on the defensive side of the ball, which is likely one of the main reasons Philadelphia made a move for him. His athleticism allows him to make plays on offense, but he likely won't be a top 2 or 3 scoring option any time soon. Unless your league is deeper than average and heavily rewards steals and rebounds, you can leave Smith on the draft board.
