It took the Suns 50 years to find a great center (sorry Shaq you were past your prime in Phoenix). 50 years after losing out on the No. 1 pick and drafting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (he was Lew Alcindor at that time), the Suns have found their guy with their first ever No.1 pick in 2018: [...]

In the 50 years of the Phoenix Suns franchise they had never had the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft until the 2018 NBA Draft. They chose Arizona Center DeAndre Ayton with that pick and they may have found their first truly great center in their franchise’s history as well, at least that is [...]

Deandre Ayton has yet to appear in an NBA regular-season game, but he’s already berthing head-to-head to rivalries.

Las Vegas is the center of the basketball world the few first weeks of July every summer as all 30 teams participate in Las Vegas NBA Summer League.

Now that the draft order is set, the rumor mill is up and churning in advance of the 2018 NBA Draft on June 21. The Suns are reportedly debating between DeAndre Ayton and Luka Doncic with the No. 1 pick and the assumption was that the Kings would take whomever the Suns didn’t at No. [...]

As the NBA season enters its final week and a half, the Phoenix Suns currently possess the worst record in the NBA at 19-59 and as such are likely to have the highest odds to land the No. 1 pick of the 2018 NBA Draft. That means they could have an opportunity to potentially draft [...]

DeAndre Ayton’s collegiate basketball career is officially over. Sometimes, after a top NBA prospect’s NCAA season has concluded, he waits a little while before declaring for the draft. And during that time, people speculate about whether he might return to school for one last go-round. It’s a meaningless debate, make no mistake. Those billed as [...]
