The Phoenix Suns have had a grand total of one #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft in their 58-year history. In 2028, they selected Deandre Ayton from the University of Arizona. Now, 7 years later, he will be playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, entering his 8th season in the NBA and playing for his third team.

After being bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers this past Monday, Ayton has signed with Los Angeles, where he joins LeBron James and fellow 2018 draft alum Luke Doncic.
