OT: Phoenix Suns Win The 1OV Pick In The 2018 NBA Draft Lottery

Phoenix Suns win NBA Draft Lottery, will pick No. 1 in 2018 NBA Draft

The Phoenix Suns entered Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery with the best odds to land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft and they left with just that.
The Suns will have the first pick in the NBA Draft for the first time in franchise history.
It is Phoenix’s highest selection in the draft since 1987 when the team selected Armen Gilliam with the second overall pick. Having picked fourth the past two years, the Suns have not had a top-three pick since that draft.
Experts peg two players at the top of this year’s draft class: Arizona’s Deandre Ayton and Real Madrid’s Luka Doncic.

The franchise deserved to be blasted over the years, but the team finally got it right here as this win is huge for this franchise.

The Coyotes now look even more dumb here by not doing what the Suns did to win the 1OV.

Okay, Kool & the Gang, it's time.

Get lucky at draft odds?

is it mean to say i don't care? actually kinda makes me more pissed that we didn't and they did. I'm not a basketball fan. Good for any of you Suns fans though, I wish i knew what it felt like!

I’m a hater. Screw the Suns. And DBacks. Especially the Cardinals, though. I don’t like any other sports. Not at all.

football is my next favorite, so I'm a Cards fan. Coyotes by a mile though. Although I'm a pretty big racing and fighting fan as well.

Harvick looks unstoppable this year.

I have not followed the Suns seriously since 2009, but I'm happy to see them (or any Arizona team for that matter) finally win a lottery draw. Hopefully whomever they pick is a franchise keeper.

Ayton or gtfo

Are you guys sure there isn't a second phase to this where the Suns have to go up against the Milwaukee Bucks in a coin flip.

Magic won it 3 times. It's awesome. Didn't win any Finals tho.

Close between Mercedes and Ferrari.

Alcindor just a coin flip away from being a Sun.

Harvick looks unstoppable this year.

Stewart-Haas figured something out in the off-season, and moreover they performed addition by subtraction by letting Danica go.

Also, the Indy 500 is in two weeks and I could not be more excited.

(On topic - of course the Suns get 1OA. That awful franchise with the terrible owner and sad sack GM getting the lottery luck out of sheer imbecility is perfect for this stupid market.)

 

[BigMac1212]

Keep in mind the Suns lost out on the pick that would be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I hate to do those what might have been scenarios (especially since I love the "Little Texas" song of the same name). But if Kareem was a Sun, things could have been a lot different.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Lew Alcindor or Neal Walk.....the most painful of coin tosses.

Should have called tails.........SHOULD HAVE CALLED TAILS!

After reading up more on Doncic, I feel like he's a better choice than Ayton.

 

[XX]

Ayton probably makes a better stretch 4.

Props to Sarver if the scouts and coaches want Doncic and he lets it happen. Not easy for a man from Tucson that went to UA.

 

[TheLegend]

Let the agent games commence.....

Luka Doncic says he hasn't made NBA decision at EuroBasket Final Four

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Looks like the Suns don't have a choice yet. Let who they pick help turn the franchise around and make Phoenix a viable place again for free agents.

 

[TheLegend]

Sarver is in Europe watching Doncic play the finals

 

[Lilhoody]

Will they trade down to get him? Will he come? F wasting a 1st round on a guy who may never come over. Take the sure thing. The criticism with Ayton's game should be fixable, as he hasn't been playing BB all that long...7 years?

Why? This is the problem with the Suns. The owner should stay out of it, he hasn’t learned that lesson yet.

Probably not.... His new head coach also knows Doncic and has coached him in international play.
