It was just two years ago June 23, that the Phoenix Suns drafted Tyler Ulis. Every Suns fan knows that story. I know, because it’s one I bring up every time I talk about Ulis. It was the start of the second round and Ulis was still undrafted, when then rookie Devin Booker called McDonough about drafting his former teammate.
We all know the Kentucky connection. We all know the friendship. But what sticks with me most about the happenings of that night is that McDonough trusted Devin’s intuition, even though he had only just completed his first year in the league.
