After losing out on the coin flip that netted Milwaukee Lew Alcindor 50 years ago, the Phoenix Suns finally land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. This is the first time in franchise history that the team will select No. 1 overall.
The Suns had the greatest odds of winning the lottery, with a 25 percent chance to land the top pick.
The Suns will have a top-three selection in the draft for just the third time in franchise history, selecting No. 2 in 1969 and 1987.
