Last week we walked down memory lane and rehashed the history of Suns top five picks.
This edition will cover the team’s history of results in the lottery going back to the inception of the system in the 1985 Frozen Envelope Patrick Ewing to the Knicks charade.
Of course, only a conspiracy theorist would actually think that the NBA lottery is rigged.
But it is rigged.
1986
Pre-lottery 7th
Post-lottery 6th
+1
Drafted: William Bedford
Should have drafted: Mark Price/Dennis Rodman/Jeff Hornacek
The Suns made their very first lottery pick very unmemorable by taking Bedford.
