Michael Carter-Williams in play for Suns at No. 5? Hopefully
By Dan Feldman
Michael Carter-Williams and Trey Burke worked out with the Suns earlier this month. As far as I know, only one of those two has been invited back for a second visit to Phoenix.
Hint: It’s the player I hope the Suns draft at No. 5.
Carter-Williams tweeted yesterday:
"On my way back to Phoenix #5HEnergy #draftdreams"
As I wrote in relation to Shabazz Muhammad going to the Kings at No. 7, the Pistons need one player in addition to Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Otto Porter, Anthony Bennett, Victor Oladipo and Alex Len to go in the top six for Trey Burke to fall. Either Muhammad going to the Kings or Carter-Williams to the Suns works.
Heck, if both happen, the Pistons might even get their pick between top players. I’m writing a lot about Burke, because I think he’s, by far, the top prospect most likely to fall. But I’d be happy if the Pistons get him or any other top guy at No. 8.
