Three and a half seasons after being drafted four spots apart in the 2016 NBA Draft, and 22 months since they last played together with the Phoenix Suns, the unlikely twin pairing of Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender are back together again with the gap-year Warriors.
If you recall, Bender was taken 4th overall and Chriss 8th overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2018 Draft, a draft boasted by national media as a big win for a rebuilding Suns franchise. Chriss and Bender were teenagers, both 6’10’+ height, 7’0”+ wingspan, super athletic and able to shoot a three pointer.
