PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns fell two places in the NBA Draft Lottery and will pick fourth in the June 22 draft.
The Boston Celtics, who held the rights to the Brooklyn Nets’ first round pick, won the lottery and will pick first, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers, who jumped one spot, and the Philadelphia 76ers, who had the right to swap places with Sacramento.
“It’s kind of what I anticipated,” Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said. “Obviously we would have loved to move up, but this isn’t a two- or three-player draft. There’s not a huge dropoff in my opinion after one, two, three.
