Phoenix Suns sign Tyler Ennis, T.J. Warren

The Phoenix Suns may have been the 2013-2014 NBA season’s biggest surprise. After finishing 25-57 the year before, the worst record in the Western Conference, the Suns improved to 48-34. Unfortunately, they missed out on the postseason by playing in the loaded conference (the Atlanta Hawks made the playoffs in the Eastern Conference with a 38-44 record).

The Suns, who still are trying to lock down restricted free agent guard Eric Bledsoe, already made a big move when they acquired Sacramento Kings’ point guard and his new four-year, $27 million deal in a sign-and-trade. The Suns also have collected plenty of assets over the past few years and had three first round picks. With the 14th-overall selection, they took former North Carolina State Wolfpack forward T.J. Warren. They then used the 18th-overall pick on former Syracuse Orange point guard Tyler Ennis, then selected Serbian guard Bogdan Bogdanović with the 27th-overall selection.

Per a press release, the Suns have signed both Ennis and Warren.
