With playoff aspirations – and Chris Paul addition – Phoenix Suns can add lottery selection in draft

Shooting. Playmaking.

Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones has said the franchise is looking to add those qualities "across the board, position 1 through 5," to its roster.

The Suns are drafting high enough at 10th overall to find that type of player in Wednesday's draft, but they could easily trade the pick as well in hopes of adding a veteran player who can also bring shooting and playmaking.

ESPN will air the draft beginning at 6 p.m., as the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the NBA from holding the event at a single location.

The Suns finalized a major move Monday that should impact who they draft, acquiring Chris Paul in a deal first reported by ESPN, shipping Ricky Rubio, Kelly Oubre Jr.
