During last summer’s pre-draft workouts, Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough noticed something. Whether it was 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 competition, Tyler Ulis’ team always seemed to win.
“From what I remember, he won as much as anybody we had in last year’s pre-draft process, which for us is about like 75-100 players," McDonough said Monday. "He seemed to win everything, and that’s been a habit throughout Tyler’s career.”
After the All-Star break, the Suns entered an evaluation stretch. Part of that process was to determine whether the 5-foot-10 Ulis could consistently run the second unit in the future.
