Dragan Bender, the fourth overall pick of the Phoenix Suns in the 2016 NBA draft, is a staggering 7-foot-1 at the ripe young age of 18.
The Suns' training staff threw a curveball at Bender during Friday's practice, placing a giant ladder in his way while he hoisted up shots from behind the arc.
It didn't appear to be much of an inconvenience, though. Perhaps the coaches didn't feel like holding up a broom.
