The Phoenix Suns are gearing up for the upcoming NBA draft with a series of pre-draft workouts, prominently featuring Ryan Nembhard, the younger brother of Indiana Pacers star Andrew Nembhard. Ryan, who showcased impressive playmaking skills at Gonzaga, believes his style, particularly his pick-and-roll proficiency, will transition smoothly to the NBA. At 6'0", he averaged 11.6 points and led the NCAA with 9.8 assists per game last season, improving his three-point shooting from 33% to 40.4%. This week, he will visit the Suns, who hold the 29th overall pick in the draft, as he aims to follow in his brother’s footsteps and make an impact as a rookie.

The Suns have also conducted workouts with several other prospects, including Danny Wolf from Michigan and Alabama forward Grant Nelson. With the draft approaching on June 25-26, teams are keenly assessing talent to bolster their rosters, and Ryan Nembhard is eager to prove he belongs on an NBA roster.
