Suns to Host NBA Draft Lottery Party

The Phoenix Suns will host a free NBA Draft Lottery party on Tuesday, May 17 (tomorrow) from 3 – 6 p.m. in the Casino Arizona Pavilion at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

In addition to watching the NBA Draft Lottery broadcast on the video board in the pavilion, fans will have the opportunity to meet Suns guards Eric Bledsoe (4 – 5 p.m.) and Ronnie Price (4:30 – 5:30 p.m.). Suns players Brandon Knight (3:30 – 4:30 p.m.) and Alan Williams (4 – 5 p.m.) and Suns head coach Earl Watson will also be on hand for the event to interact with fans.

The Draft Lottery, which will determine where Phoenix will select in the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23, is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m. (MST). Those planning to attend tomorrow's Draft Lottery party are encouraged to RSVP at Suns.com/Lottery to be eligible to win a number of Suns prizes at the event.

The Suns have a 37.8 percent chance of obtaining a top-three selection in the 2016 NBA Draft, with an 11.9 percent chance of landing the first overall pick. Phoenix has a 97.8 percent chance of having two Lottery picks in this year's Draft, as the Suns hold the rights to the Washington Wizards' first-round pick if that selection falls outside the top-nine.
