Rejoice, Phoenix Suns fans. Your favorite team is turning a corner.
Yes the dark days of the worst stretch in franchise history will soon be behind us. That is what we should demand anyway, after the most historic draft in team history.
For the first time the Suns drafted from the number one spot. To the surprise of few, Phoenix used that pick on Deandre Ayton from the University of Arizona.
Phoenix general manager Ryan McDonough, who did not have the luxury of passively navigating draft night, then orchestrated a trade to move up from #16 to #10 where the Suns drafted Mikal Bridges from Villanova.
