With limited draft assets after trading for Kevin Durant<\/a> and Bradley Beal<\/a> back in 2023, Phoenix is limited with its draft assets and traded away the pick they had in the first round of the 2026 draft back at the 2025 trade deadline to deal Jusuf Nurki\u0107<\/a> to the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the limited future draft picks and young players the Suns have, reports suggest that Phoenix could look to move into the first round<\/a>. Phoenix traded into the first round last season and selected Khaman Maluach<\/a> with the 10th overall pick after trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets<\/a> last offseason.<\/p>\n

Whether they stay at 47 or acquire another draft pick, Phoenix is doing their due-diligence on projected second rounders. The First Round of the NBA Draft is on Tuesday June 23rd with the Second Round on the 24th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With about a month left until the 2026 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns are starting asses players they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3791],"tags":[7,3086,6903,473,39798,568,194,5088,938,958,91557,6,66128,2065,472,4045,7957,604],"class_list":["post-741749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-phoenix-suns","tag-basketball","tag-bradley-beal","tag-bryce-hopkins","tag-charlotte-hornets","tag-copyright-notice","tag-getty-images","tag-houston-rockets","tag-jusuf-nurkic","tag-kevin-durant","tag-khaman-maluach","tag-league-combine","tag-nba","tag-nbae","tag-phoenix","tag-phoenix-suns","tag-phoenixsuns","tag-ryan-conwell","tag-suns"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116622864184613166","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
