Former Suns draft bust is turning into a star with new team

Former Phoenix Suns big man Marquese Chriss is beginning to turn into a star in China, playing for the Shandong Heroes in the Chinese CBA. Though they are only four games into the season, Chriss looks primed to be one of the best players in the entire league, as he is putting up some monster stats.

The Suns selected Chriss with the No. 8 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, and he spent two years with the squad before getting traded to the Houston Rockets. He ended up playing in the NBA for six seasons, jumping around to four more teams after playing with the Suns: The Rockets, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, and the Dallas Mavericks.
