NBA Western Conference: Most important need for each Pacific Division team heading into the NBA Draft

#1 Phoenix Suns (#6 and #32 pick)

Need: Point guard, power forward

No need: Small forwards

The Phoenix Suns have been the basement dwellers of the Western Conference for a long time, but do not have a very great roster to show for it, having been out of the playoffs for a long time.

The one spot they are really missing any talent at is the point guard, which has got to be their focus in the 2019 NBA Draft, where the Suns have the #6 pick and the #32 pick. They have an excess number of small forwards and might look to draft a power forward too.

With the #6 pick, the Phoenix Suns have an opportunity to draft a player like Darius Garland from Vanderbilt, Coby White from North Carolina or DeAndre Hunter from Virginia, who is a forward coming up on many big boards.

At #32, the Suns have a chance to take some risks and go for a player like Darius Bazley, who skipped the college program to ready up for the draft on his own. They also have a chance to draft Carsen Edwards from Purdue, someone who projects to be a great role-playing point guard.

They might even be able to draft Ty Jerome from Virginia, who has been impressive in his college season as a junior. The Suns know the positions they need to strengthen, they just have to make better decisions as compared to their recent past.
