James Jones won't budge.
The Phoenix Suns general manager said he plans to keep the sixth overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft in Brooklyn, N.Y..
"I’m comfortable staying there," Jones said Tuesday. "Not looking to trade it. I think there are more than six good players in this draft."
Jones said he understands the calls from Suns fans to make big moves. Phoenix has had five consecutive losing seasons and hasn’t made the playoffs since 2010.
The Suns had the league’s worst record in 2017-18 at 21-61 and lost a franchise-record 17 consecutive games en route to their second-worst record in franchise history this past season at 19-63.
