Sources: Suns acquire rights to Marquese Chriss

The Phoenix Suns agreed to acquire the rights to No. 8 overall selection Marquese Chriss in a trade with the Sacramento Kings, sources told The Vertical.

The Suns sent the No. 13 overall selection, the No. 28 overall pick and the rights to guard Bogdan Bogdanovic to the Kings in the deal.

The Suns selected power forward Dragan Bender with the fourth pick in Thursday's draft and now have some intriguing young talent to blend with guards Devin Booker and Brandon Knight and center Alex Len.

Phoenix went 23-59 this past season and is committed to rebuilding with coach Earl Watson, who agreed to a three-year contract in April after taking over as the interim coach in February.
