There was a lot of hype and anticipation surrounding Dragon Bender when he entered the NBA back in 2016, although he has so far failed to justify his place on an NBA roster. Bender stands at 7'1, and his combination of size and shooting ability resulted in the centre being one of 2016's most intriguing draft prospects.

The Suns opted to take the centre as the fourth overall pick, although despite currently being in his third season with the team, Bender has made less than 40 starts. During the current season, the Croatian is only averaging 8 minutes-per-game and he has also appeared in less than half of the Suns' games.

The 21-year-old is averaging just 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per game, and with his rookie deal set to expire in the summer, the team should look to get something in return.
