The Good, Bad and Ugly from Suns Draft Day

Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones didn’t just sit by and let the other 29 teams in the NBA have all the fun.

Instead, Jones made his team’s presence known not only during the 2019 NBA draft, but started hours before the event even began.

Here’s an in-depth look at the moves the Phoenix Suns made on the team’s draft day:
