White has a ton of helium right now and I can't figure out why. That low shooting release, his struggles in the midrange game & his lack of length that limits his defensive upside would scare me. He did show a willingness to take stepback 3's, but I don't think he'll be a good enough shooter you want him taking a lot of those. Just can't figure out why some people are starting to say he's the best PG prospect over Ja/Garland.
On the other hand, while I agree on Hunter>White, I don't see how the Suns can come out of this without a PG again. Not sure if there's a good match with NO for a trade up to #4 & Garland (and for NO if the rumored 8 & 10 for 4 from ATL is real I would jump on that in a heartbeat!), or you just hope one of the Hunter/Reddish/Doumbouya trio is a surprise pick at 4.
