2024 NBA Draft: Prospects for the Phoenix Suns

Which players could be good fits for the Suns in the 2024 NBA Draft? The excitement around the Phoenix Suns’ first-round pick at No. 22 has been reignited, especially with the potential of the selected player seeing time at Tempe’s Mullett Arena. This is an opportune moment to highlight three players I like, as well as three players that James Jones, the Suns’ president of basketball operations and general manager, might favor based on his past selection criteria.
