Finally, draft season is kicking up a notch around Phoenix as the Suns began predraft workouts Friday at Talking Stick Resort Arena. It didn’t feature headliner names but one immediately popped off the page with SMU’s Shake Milton.
Milton was there alongside five other guards — Devonte’ Graham (Kansas), Tra Holder (Arizona State), Trevon Blueitt (Xavier), Lendell Wigginton (Iowa State), Kendrick Nunn (Illinois) —but he was the obvious standout.
After a subpar performance at the NBA Draft Combine, Milton, who was projected in the 20-30 range, might be there for the taking at No.
