The Suns are adding experience — in the form of a draft pick. Phoenix selected 22-year-old shooting guard Davon Reed out of Miami with the 32nd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
The hope would be that the three-and-D prospect can add backcourt depth behind starting guard Devin Booker.
At 6-foot-6 and 208 pounds with a 7-foot wingspan, Reed averaged 14.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists as a senior. He shot 43 percent overall and 40 percent from three-point range while taking six per game.
Reed is yet another addition to a young core for Phoenix that includes Booker (20), Marquese Chriss (19), Dragan Bender (19), Derrick Jones Jr. (20) and Tyler Ulis (21).
The Suns selected 20-year-old Kansas swingman Josh Jackson with the No. 4 pick in the draft earlier on Thursday.
