Over the past several years, Phoenix Suns GM Ryan McDonough and his front office have brought in a league-high volume of draft prospects to group or individual visits in the valley of the sun to get to know them better before deciding who to take in the draft.
In 2013, the Suns dangled the 5th and 30th overall picks to entice several dozen players - missing out only on some of the very top prospects (including Nerlens Noel, Otto Porter) and some mid-lottery guys with promises lower in the draft.
In 2014, the Suns got all but the very top 8 prospects into Phoenix because they held the 14th, 18th and 27th picks.
