Could the Suns draft for need and not best available?

The topic of how a team should draft comes up every year in every draft in every sport, and yet the consensus is almost always to draft best available. However, if teams rated several players really close to one another, then in a tie or near-tie situation teams will be forced to look for need, which is exactly what Suns Assistant General Manager Pat Connelly said just this afternoon.

In regards to this particular draft, however, Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough has said, on more than one occasion, that the top of the draft is littered with talent and is more than just Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball.
