The second round draft, the Suns made another deal, and the 3D power forward was selected with 31 pick, but they still don t want to play badly

Basketball

As we all know, before this year's draft, a big deal between the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets that shocked the entire league.

The Suns sent Kevin Durant, and exchanged Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks from the Rockets, as well as multiple first-round draft picks.

Many people think that the Rockets make a big profit and the Suns lose money. Because the Suns get less chips from the Rockets than Durant.

Especially considering that the Suns spent a lot of money to get Durant. When Durant left, it can only be said that he lost all his money when he exchanged for such a bargaining chip.

More importantly, the Suns still have two future first-round picks in the hands of the Rockets. It is unrealistic for the Suns to rebuild and play badly. The industry has been paying attention to how the Suns will operate next. Will they enter the reconstruction or continue to strengthen the lineup and strive for the playoffs?

As of now, the sun obviously does not want to enter deep reconstruction. This team is still actively operating to improve the team's strength. On the first day of the draft, the Suns completed the deal with the Hornets, in exchange for center Mark Williams, and at the same time, they selected the strongest center Maruacchi of this draft with the Rockets. They had two centers at once, making up for the team's biggest shortcomings and the team's strength was improved.

And on June 27, the second day of the draft, that is, the second round of the draft, the Suns are still trying to improve the team's interior depth. The second round of the NBA Draft was held today at the Barclays Center in New York.

The first pick in the second round (i.e. the 31st pick), the Suns chose 3D power forward Rashiel Fleming!

It is worth mentioning that the Suns traded upwards with No. 36 + 2 second round picks earlier today, and got the No. 31 sign from the Timberwolves.

In college, Fleming hit 41% of his three-pointers with open catches and shots. He takes action fast and takes action high.

Things worth noting is that Fleming, a player with an extremely terrible static talent, has a 2.27-meter-old wingspan, even stronger than Kawhi Leonard.

scout report shows that he is an extremely active defender, averaging 1.5 blocks and 1.4 steals per game in his junior season. Using his 2.27-meter wingspan, he kept running on the court and creating chaos for his opponents.

After the past two days of operation of the draft, the Suns have become well-manned and talented in the interior. In the new season, it is expected that they will focus on three defenders Booker + Bill + Jaylen Green, and match them with a group of strong players like the inside, and make some moderate improvements in the forward line.

The Suns still have a good chance to compete for a playoff spot in the new season. No matter how bad it is, there is a chance to qualify for the playoffs. The operation of the sun is understandable. They are currently unable to enter the deep reconstruction phase, because even if they are bad, the final beneficiary will be the Rockets. The Rockets have the Suns' first-round draft picks for 27 and 29 years. The Suns can only keep themselves at a competitive level, see the opportunity to trade Bills, exchange them for some rebuilding chips, and watch while playing.

Simply put, the Suns will never easily make the Rockets cheap. Just like the Nets, if you don’t return the draft pick to me, I won’t be so bad that you won’t get a high pick. After

sent off Durant, the Suns achieved a younger roster. As long as you can get rid of Bill, the Suns will become a very young team and you can still look forward to the future.

Let's see if there are any other trades and operations happening in the offseason in the Suns!
