Could your Phoenix Suns, an organization so inept that they actually had to be bullied into performing the basic duties of a professional basketball franchise, actually pass on Zion Williamson should they land the top overall pick in this summer’s NBA Draft?
At least one widely read sports publication thinks they might.
Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated thinks Zion goes number one but argues that the Suns could “best rationalize” not burning the top pick on Williamson.
While there’s always a chance, this one is relatively slim: Williamson, who has been the consensus top prospect dating back to roughly mid-November, has too many factors going for him not to be the selection at this point.
