The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a contract with Elie Okobo, the No. 31 pick of the NBA Draft, according to Yahoo’s Shams Charania.
The four-year deal is reportedly worth $6 million.
It will be guaranteed in the first two seasons with team options on the remaining two years.
The Suns have yet to make a decision regarding the contract of point guard Tyler Ulis. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the team pushed the guaranteed date to Ulis’ contract from Sunday to the following Saturday.

Okobo joins Ulis, Brandon Knight and Shaquille Harrison as potential point guard options heading into next season.
Additionally, general manager Ryan McDonough said Friday the team plans to target a point guard this offseason. With Okobo under contract and the team unlikely to be able to move Knight, the Suns may not have room on the roster for the other two.
