The Phoenix Suns enter Day 2 of the 2025 NBA Draft with two late second-round choices, at 52nd and 59th.
There’s a possibility the Suns combine those picks at the tail end of the draft to move up into the 40s, something they did last year to nab center Oso Ighodaro. But keeping the picks would give the team two shots at filling needs with inexpensive players.
Wednesday helped shape their roster by knocking out a need at the center position.
The Suns kept their lottery selection to draft Duke’s Khaman Maluach and burned their 29th pick this year to acquire center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets.

Suns hit big on Khaman Maluach, create curiosity with Mark Williams
On anniversary of drafting Devin Booker, did Suns find another steal in Khaman Maluach?
It plugged major rim-rolling and rim-protecting needs, but the team’s roster still has an imbalance with four centers (Williams, Maluach, Ighodaro and Nick Richards) and five players we’d generally describe as shooting guards (Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale).
Even with two primary ball-handlers in Booker and Green expected to be on the opening day roster, Phoenix could still use a table-setting point guard.
Wing has some bodies with Ryan Dunn, Dillon Brooks and Cody Martin all under contract, but there’s room for additions there, too. Power forward is a need at the moment as well.
As it is, here’s how some key mock draft creators see Thursday going for Phoenix.
