“I told him it was limitless,” Watson said. “I had no problem building through him and Booker and playing the type of basketball where everyone touches it and moves it and swings it around.” In the car, according to Watson, Tatum shared that he wanted the Suns to pick him, that he felt most comfortable with Phoenix and believed in the coach’s vision. On the All The Smoke podcast, Tatum said the Suns were indeed his No. 1 option at the time. Leading up to the draft, he essentially knew Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball would be the first two overall selections. After Boston traded down into the third pick, Tatum hoped to fall to fourth and head to Phoenix.
