Watch: 10 best things Deandre Ayton, Suns GM said at Tuesday's news conference

'I know I'm going No. 1'

PHOENIX — The Suns have quite the decision to make on draft night. Following his solo workout with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, Deandre Ayton announced to the world that he's going to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. 

It's not a done deal, but he's confident. 

In his first press conference since Arizona's first-round loss to Buffalo in the NCAA Tournament, Ayton said he will not work out for other teams leading up to the draft. Instead, he'll work to become familiar with Phoenix's young nucleus of Devin Booker, Josh Jackson and Marquese Chriss over the next few days. 

While Ayton is projected to be the top pick, the Suns will work out a small group of players in the following days, which could include Slovenia's Luka Doncic or Phoenix native Marvin Bagley III. 

Following the workout, Ayton and Suns general manager Ryan McDonough addressed the media. Here's what they had to say.
