The 2023 NBA Draft tips off at 5 p.m. MST on Thursday, with the San Antonio Spurs widely expected to lead off the event by drafting French star Victor Wembanyama.
The Phoenix Suns expected to have a single second-round draft pick, even after the Bradley Beal trade that’s yet to be made official.
The Suns pick No. 52 overall. There is also potential for Phoenix to trade higher into the draft.
Center Deandre Ayton’s name has been tossed around in trade rumors heading into the NBA Draft, and that looms as a potentially larger move the Suns could make if the market is hotter than reported.
Here’s everything to know for fans to consume and follow along with the 2023 NBA Draft.
