The Suns won the NBA Draft lottery on Tuesday night, capturing the No. 1-overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
Phoenix, the franchise with the best odds (25.0 percent) ahead of the lottery, now has a chance to take a young talent like Luka Doncic or Deandre Ayton with the top selection. The Kings, Hawks, Grizzlies and Mavericks will also have top-five picks. The notable Brooklyn pick acquired by Cleveland in the Kyrie Irving trade fell to No. 8 on the big board.
