Today is the NBA Draft Lottery, where the Phoenix Suns will learn whether they remain in the No. 1 overall spot for the first time in team history or fall among spots 2-4. Receiving the chance to select first overall would allow the Suns to control their own destiny from now through June 21 and give them the pick of the litter so to speak.
But a high pick is only half the equation; the other half is scouting and due diligence. History is littered with regrettable decisions, and draft picks are no exception.
