The Phoenix Suns will have the No. 4 and 13 overall picks in the 2016 NBA Draft.

The odds were that the Suns would receive the fourth overall pick, and the odds held firm during Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery. They also received the 13th pick via the Washington Wizards by virtue of the Suns' midseason trade of Markieff Morris to Washington.

The Suns' previous lottery pick was guard Devin Booker with the 13th overall pick in the 2015 draft. Booker, who finished fourth in Monday's NBA Rookie of the Year voting, represented the Suns at the lottery selection show in New York.

The Philadelphia 76ers received the No. 1 overall pick. The Los Angeles Lakers will pick second and the Boston Celtics will pick third.

The 2016 draft will take place on June 23.
