We are less than three weeks away from the NBA Draft, and while we still don’t know whether the Phoenix Suns will stay put and make a selection at No. 47 overall, they are certainly doing their due diligence. The Suns continue to bring in prospects for pre-draft workouts, making sure they are prepared for whatever path lies ahead.
I want to make sure our community stays up to date on who has worked out for Phoenix. Not only does it provide insight into what the organization might be thinking, but
it also gives you an opportunity to do some prospect mining of your own. You can go watch highlights, dig into scouting reports, and get a better understanding of the players who could potentially find their way into the Suns organization.
Per HoopsHype, here’s who the Phoenix Suns have worked out pre-draft:
As I mentioned in the latest edition of Inside the Suns, I’m not surprised by the number of unranked or lesser-known prospects Phoenix has brought in. In fact, it’s exactly what I expected.
This is the same process taking place throughout the NBA right now. Teams are gathering information, conducting reconnaissance, and building databases on players who may never hear their names called on draft night. Why? Because they could eventually become G League contributors, Summer League invites, training camp additions, or future roster options.
And while it may not generate the same excitement as a projected first-round pick walking through the door, these workouts are often just as important to an organization trying to build out every level of its basketball operation.
