Suns to have 2 first-round NBA draft picks after Bucks lose random drawing with Heat

The Phoenix Suns will have two first-round picks in the June 21 NBA draft.

A random drawing Friday afternoon between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat, both of whom finished 44-38, determined that the Heat will pick No. 16 and the Bucks No. 17.

Milwaukee’s pick, which was part of the Eric Bledsoe deal, was protected Nos. 1-10 and 17-30 so it will transfer to the Suns in 2019, when it will be protected Nos. 1-3 and 17-30.
