With the NBA draft lottery coming up in just 12 days it seems apropos to go with a draft related throwback.
The Suns are guaranteed to draft in the top five by virtue of having the second worst record in the league, but let’s face it... it’s probably gonna be 3rd or 4th, so taking a look at the team’s history of top five picks sounds relevant.
Spoiler alert... it hasn’t been a series of rousing successes.

Poor Neal Walk.
If Neal had just gone third instead of second he wouldn’t have been stuck with the dubious distinction of being the worst consolation prize in NBA history.
