The Phoenix Suns opened the second round of the NBA draft by taking Rasheer Fleming after agreeing to acquire the pick earlier Thursday from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Wolves still made the No. 31 pick, but Phoenix and Minnesota had worked out the swap a few hours earlier.

Fleming, a forward from Saint Joseph’s, averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season, ranking in the top four in the Atlantic 10 in rebounds and blocks.

The Detroit Pistons took Tennessee shooting guard Chaz Lanier at No. 37, two picks after Philadelphia snagged Auburn center Johni Broome. Detroit had been widely considered a possible destination for Broome.
