If there's one thing the Phoenix Suns' draft didn't lack Thursday, it was their name being mentioned by various national reporters.

Josh Jackson came in with few red flags before the Suns picked him in the NBA Draft, but his off-the-court issues he must prove are mistakes of the past.

Going into the draft, Cardinals rookie center Lucas Crowley kept hearing from the critics who were saying he needed to put on more weight.

As an undrafted free agent coming out of Texas A&M, Trevor Knight had options where he wanted to go play.

Undrafted rookie free agent Krishawn Hogan understands he must cut down on the mistakes if he is to stick with the Arizona Cardinals.

All it took was an off day in June and time in the batting cage for Brandon Drury to turn around his season.

The Suns hold the No. 4 pick in the June 22 NBA Draft, and with that pick they will have plenty of options of top level talent.

By Tuesday, there has been no announcement that Shane Doan has taken the role as Coyotes president. It shouldn’t take that long.

Chances are it will at least be a couple of years before Pavin Smith reaches the Major Leagues, but the D-backs' first-round pick arrives with talent.

The Cardinals are just about ready to break until training camp, but Steve Keim says the team is still discussing free agents that can possibly help.

Defensive back Tyrann Mathieu has had to get re-acclimated to running around the field while not being held back by a brace.

The six-foot-one wide out Chad Williams from Grambling St. was a virtual unknown when the Cardinals selected him 98th overall.

The Cardinals were thrilled to get LB Haason Reddick with their first-round draft pick in April. In mandatory mini-camp, they're stilly giddy.

Through OTAs and now into mini-camp, Haason Reddick has had the opportunity to learn the playbook and get to know his teammates and coaches.

At NBA Draft workouts, Suns head coach Earl Watson gets to watch and build connections with young players he may be coaching next season.
