Suns Fortify Frontcourt, Nets Bank Future Picks as Draft Day Two Concludes

Phoenix transformed three traded picks into frontcourt prospects to bolster size.

Overview

  • Phoenix leveraged three second-round swaps to secure and select Mark Williams, Rasheer Fleming and Koby Brea for added interior depth
  • The Suns sent their No. 29 pick and a 2029 first-rounder to Charlotte for Williams before exchanging No. 36 for Minnesota’s No. 31 slot to land Fleming and trading for No. 41 to draft Brea
  • Brooklyn dealt the No. 36 pick to Phoenix in return for two future second-round selections, opting to convert current draft capital into long-term assets
  • Cleveland, without a first-round choice, holds Nos. 49 and 58 and is weighing those selections to bolster its rotation with immediate contributors or developmental prospects
  • The surge of second-round trades highlights franchises’ strategic targeting of specific talents and balancing of present and future roster-building goals
