The Phoenix Suns' offseason began by trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the 10th pick in the NBA draft. The Suns also acquired Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets during Wednesday's draft.

It's not a full rebuild for the Suns until they trade Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Booker is likely staying put, while the expectation is that Beal will likely get dealt this offseason. The Suns' front office resumed work in the first and second rounds of the 2025 NBA draft.

Let's look at the full list of picks made by the Suns.

3 players picked by the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA draft


#1 - Khaman Maluach | Center | No. 10 pick

The Houston Rockets technically picked Khaman Maluach in the draft, but they did it for the Phoenix Suns. It was part of the Kevin Durant trade, with Maluach having the opportunity to develop in The Valley. He'll have to battle Mark Williams and Nick Richards for a potential starting spot next season.

Maluach has raw potential and will need time to develop. He has an opportunity to grow as long as the Suns show patience. His defense is expected to be among the best in the NBA in the future, while his offense needs a lot of work. He's a perfect pick for Phoenix since they can wait for him to develop regardless of whether they do a full rebuild or not.

#31 - Rasheer Fleming | Forward | No. 31 pick

The Phoenix Suns traded up to get the No. 31 pick, sending the No. 36 pick and two future second-round picks to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They selected Rasheer Fleming, a forward from Saint Joseph's who is considered a steal in the second round.

Many draft boards had Fleming in the late first round, so the Suns got their potential starting power forward with the first pick of the second round. He's a 6-foot-9 forward with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, but can also shoot the ball from beyond the arc.

#41 - Koby Brea | Guard | No. 41 pick

The Phoenix Suns traded up again by acquiring the 41st pick from the Golden State Warriors. They sent the 52nd and 59th selections to the Bay Area to draft Kentucky's Koby Brea. He's one of the best shooters in the class, so he could be considered a steal by Phoenix.

However, the Suns are already loaded in the two-guard position. Brea's lack of athleticism puts him in a tough spot defensively. It's still a shooter's league, and Brea can knock them down effortlessly. He will have to earn his spot on the roster.
