The Suns received two Houston starters in return, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, along with the No. 10 overall pick and five future second-round picks.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns fulfilled their plan to add more frontcourt youth with that No. 10 pick. They selected one of college basketball&#8217;s top centers, 7-foot-1 freshman Khaman Maluach, who helped lead <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/basketball\/ncaab\/teams\/duke-blue-devils\/1388\/\" data-autotag=\"d9e0b712-2f57-4d7c-998e-25a7ac4fbc0d\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Duke<\/a> to this year&#8217;s Final Four with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/basketball\/nba\/teams\/dallas-mavericks\/6\/\" data-autotag=\"e6751d65-4a81-4131-973c-176d23467b30\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a>&#8216; No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg. Also on the draft&#8217;s first day, the Suns traded their No. 29 pick, backup guard Vasa Micic, and a 2029 first-round pick to Charlotte for another big, Mark Williams.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, the Suns moved up from their No. 52 and 59 picks by dealing them to Golden State for No. 41, using it to draft Kentucky shooting guard Koby Brea. They also acquired the No. 31 pick from Minnesota for No. 36, after they traded two future second-round picks to Brooklyn for that 36th pick. With that, they selected Saint Joseph&#8217;s big Rasheer Fleming.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA free-agency period begins on Monday, June 30, when teams can begin talking with players.
