Phoenix Suns Draft Primer: Guard Edition includes Butler, Bones, Tre and more

The NBA Draft is rapidly approaching so it’s time to get familiar with as many names as possible with such a short turnover time.

The 2021 NBA Draft is this Thursday, July 29. The Suns will pick at the bottom of the first round.

I’ve been on the record now saying I’d prefer the Phoenix Suns taking a guard creator over a big in most cases. The reasoning behind this is that Jalen Smith is already in the system and it’s fairly easy to find a cheap big man in free agency.

Adding a secondary creator off the bench to pair with Payne in a low usage role to start would be more than ideal from a developmental perspective.
