Rumor: Phoenix Suns looking to trade up to top pick, draft Nerlens Noel

Jun 27, 2013, 9:55 PM | Updated: 10:33 pm

Until the NBA Draft is over, rumors will continue to swirl.

The latest comes from ESPN NBA insider Chad Ford, and it’s a doozy for the Phoenix Suns.

Interestingly the Suns were never reported to have brought Noel in for a visit, and with the center coming off a torn ACL his status for the 2013-14 season is very much up in the air.

However, he is regarded to be possibly the best player in this draft, and when healthy is expected to be an excellent defender in the NBA.
