The Phoenix Suns won’t have any problem drafting to meet a need. They have needs everywhere.
New general manager Ryan McDonough and new coach Jeff Hornacek brought in 74 players in preparation for their first draft.
With the exception of a few who were exempt due to injuries, the players went through strenuous workouts, usually in a 3-on-3 situation. Two of the players, shooting guard Ben McLemore and point guard Trey Burke, worked out individually at the insistence of their agents.
”You only draft 60,” McDonough said, ”so if nothing else, I guess we’re thorough.”
With a roster that compiled the second-worst record in franchise history, just about anybody they pick at No. 5 will help.
