With the NBA Draft coming up this Thursday, we caught up with one the all-time great Suns picks in Shawn Marion for an in-depth interview.
The ninth overall pick of the 1999 draft out of UNLV, Marion spent nine seasons in purple and orange, in which he averaged 18.4 points, 10 rebounds and 1.9 steals a game. A four-time All-Star as a Sun, the “Matrix” ranks second on the franchise’s all-time leaders list for minutes played, rebounds and steals, third in blocks and fourth in points. A key member of the Suns’ squad that reached the Western Conference Finals in 2005 and 2006, he also ranks first in rebounds among the team’s career playoff leaders.
