One can certainly make the argument that there has never been this much uncertainty surrounding the NBA Draft. Not only is the consensus that this draft doesn’t have too many game-changing players in it, but nobody seems to have any inkling what order those players will be picked. In ArizonaSports.com’s Mock Draft Tracker, 20 of […]
The Phoenix Suns announced they have promoted athletic trainer Aaron Nelson to Vice President of Athlete Care and Head Athletic Trainer, and signed him to a multi-year deal on Wednesday. The Suns also inked a multi-year contract with Head Strength and Conditioning Coach/Assistant Athletic Trainer Mike Elliott. “We are delighted to enter into multi-year agreements […]
The Phoenix Suns have two picks in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Upon being selected, the players will join a long list of players who have been drafted by the organization in the first round. Now, some of the players selected were never meant to play for the team, as they were […]
When the Phoenix Suns are on the clock with the fifth selection on Thursday night there is one scenario that could play out in their favor. That scenario would be if Indiana guard Victor Oladipo and Kansas guard Ben McLemore are both still available. Oladipo is considered by many draft pundits to be the most […]
They leaked out a week ago, but the Phoenix Suns made things official Wednesday when they released their new logos for the 2013-14 season. Two of the logos, the familiar ‘PHX’ bird logo and the revamped wordmark were technically revealed last season when the team redesigned their playing floor at US Airways Center. But the […]
Former Phoenix Suns head coach Alvin Gentry is heading to Los Angeles to be part of Doc Rivers’ coaching staff with the Clippers. He will hold the title of ‘associate head coach,’ and according to Arizona Sports 620’s John Gambadoro chose the Clippers over the Lakers, where he would have been reunited with former Suns […]
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, high school basketball prospects went to college to get an education. Gas cost six cents per gallon, dragons terrorized the skies, and yes even the best teenage ballplayers in America committed to four years of campus life. Then, in 1970, a usurper named Spencer Haywood, […]
Best case scenario for the Phoenix Suns Thursday: both Indiana’s Victor Oladipo and Ben McLemore of Kansas are available when they’re on the clock with the fifth overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft. The chances of that happening, however, are small according to one NBA insider. “I see both of those guys, in all […]
When you are picking as high as the Phoenix Suns are in the NBA Draft, the chances of landing a good player are, well, pretty good. But this draft shouldn’t be about landing a good player for Phoenix — it needs to be about landing a great player. And the player with the best upside […]
The Phoenix Suns drafted Kendall Marshall 13th overall and signed Goran Dragic to a free agent contract last summer, but that does not mean they are not interesting in adding another point guard via Thursday’s draft. And with picks 5, 30 and 57 at their disposal, they should have an opportunity to do just that. […]

New Suns GM Ryan McDonough has offered very few hints in the past six weeks leading up to Thursday’s NBA Draft. “My general draft philosophy is to draft the best available player regardless of position,” he said the night of the draft lottery when it was learned the Suns would select fifth overall. McDonough hasn’t […]
The NBA Draft is always a bit of a crapshoot. Talent got Michael Beasley drafted second overall in 2008. A lack of desire has led to him being just one more rough season away from possibly being out of the league a half-dozen years later, whereas players selected after him are well into outstanding careers. […]
The rumors are swirling as the NBA Draft approaches, and given that this class is not as well-regarded as others, it makes sense that teams might be looking to make some moves. One such team could be the Phoenix Suns, who currently hold picks five and 30 in the first round. According to Fox Sports […]
We’re just two days away from the NBA Draft, so much of the basketball world is focused on the 60 players who will hear their names called by commissioner David Stern and deputy commissioner Adam Silver Thursday night in Brooklyn. But the beginning of free agency is also right around the corner, and the Phoenix […]
Gone are the days of three and four-year college stars whose games we’ve watched develop over the years until we, as basketball fans, felt we had a good idea as to whether they projected as NBA stars or certain busts. Oh yes, times have certainly changed. This year, with the number one overall pick, the […]
ESPN NBA Draft insider Chad Ford said Indiana’s Victor Oladipo is his favorite player in the 2013 class. As a junior last season, Oladipo averaged 13.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while shooting a blistering .599 from the field. “I think he has the ‘it’ factor,” Ford told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf […]
Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore may be the Phoenix Suns’ pick at number five in Thursday’s draft. Or, maybe, he’ll be gone before they even get a chance. Like many other players in this pool, McLemore’s stock is all over the place. Some see him as one of the top two or three players in […]
The NBA Draft Combine. A dozen pre-draft workouts. It’s been a busy six weeks for GM Ryan McDonough and his staff. But the work didn’t begin in May. It began several months, even years earlier. There have been trips overseas, stops at high school all-star games and college practices; not to mention all the games, […]
The Phoenix Suns currently hold the fifth and 30th picks in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Who they’ll take with each of the selections is anyone’s guess, though they have done (and are doing) their due diligence in learning as much as they can about the prospects. Below is a list of […]
With less than a week until the 2013 NBA Draft gets underway, the Phoenix Suns have just a few chances left to narrow down their options for the No. 5 overall pick. While the team has not announced any new scheduled workouts heading into Thursday’s draft, one top prospect appears to be making a return […]
The Phoenix Suns have reportedly hired another assistant coach this weekend — an addition that has general manager Ryan McDonough’s fingerprints written all over it. According to Baxter Holmes of Boston.com, veteran Boston Celtics “defensive coordinator” Mike Longabardi has accepted an offer to join Jeff Hornacek’s staff in Phoenix. Longabardi, who is the first assistant […]
Four years earlier, Solomon Hill was a sought-after high school recruit with options for where to continue his playing career. Now, he’s on the other side, trying to recruit teams and prove to them he’s an option for them to call his name on draft night. His tour through NBA cities landed the former UA […]
