The Suns will have to make their own luck because Tuesday night’s draft lottery did not offer any for them once again.
The ping-pong balls bounced against the Suns, keeping them at the No. 4 pick for the June 23 draft after entering the lottery with the fourth-best odds to win. They had a 9.85 percent chance of landing at No. 4 and could have been slotted from No. 1 to No. 7.
“Did they have the lottery or did they forget to do that?” Suns general manger Ryan McDonough joked of the lottery order matching the probability order, giving Phoenix a “better than average” result.
