The Suns won two inside stars at the same time, and then sent the first round of the future to a difficult situation

Basketball

In the 2025 draft, the 30 first-round players in the first round of the first round have ended on the first day, and many interesting things have happened. Philadelphia ultimately failed to win Ace Bailey, who refused to try out for them with the Tanhua lottery. The Jazz took the fifth pick in the first round when Bailey was clear that he was unwilling to play for them. Of course, there is also the 16th pick in the first round, and the Trail Blazers chose Yang Hansen. However, the Suns' choice made people puzzled.

MaluAchi from Duke University is known as the most promising inside player among this year's rookies. His draft prediction ranking has been in the top 8, but after the Nets used the 8th pick to select point guard Deming, who is more than 2 meters tall, it has been confirmed that MaluAchi will eventually decline.

came to the ninth pick. Because the team already has first-round center Pertel, they also skipped MaluAcci and chose Boyles, a striker from the University of South Carolina, which allowed MaluAcci to slide directly to the 10th pick. At the 10th pick, the Suns, who are weak inside, will naturally not miss this inside star, but less than 10 minutes before they chose Malu Archie, the team just made a deal and got Hornets inside Mark Williams.

The Suns used the No. 29 pick in the first round of 25 years, a first round pick in 29 years, and Misic, to trade with the Hornets with Mark Williams. Last year, the Lakers reached a deal with the Hornets. They used Kneckett + first round trade to get the inside star, but in the end, because Mark Williams failed the physical examination, the transaction ultimately failed.

The Suns traded this big center for the team's lineup. After the Suns sent off Nurkic last season, the team's interior was in a completely vacuum. In the end, they chose to trade to get Richards, the 2.13-meter inside player, played 36 games for the Suns last season, averaging 9.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, shooting 60.5% from the field, and playing very well.

The traded Mark Williams is a new insider with a very strong upward trend in the league in the past two years. He averaged 15.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game with the Hornets last year, and his shooting percentage reached 60.4%. Perhaps the Suns did not expect MaluAchi to slide to the 10th pick, and in desperation, they won the two inside stars at the same time.

However, the overlap of these three players is too high, which is undoubtedly a waste of resources for the Suns. If one of these three players is a technical inside player, perhaps the Suns can still try the double tower tactics in the regular season, but Richards, Mark Williams and Malu Archie are all defensive centers with the franchise protection as the selling point, and their scoring relies more on second rebounds and "eating cakes" at the basket. There is not much independent offensive ability.

The result led to a very unbalanced situation in the Suns' lineup. On the back line, they stockpiled three scorers who averaged more than 20 games, Jaylen Green, Booker and Bill. However, in terms of the front line, there are only two players, Dillon and Royce O'Neal. In the center position, there are three players with similar functions. Some media joked that the Suns are going to equip three star players in the backcourt, one with an exclusive "cake-eating" expert?

In fact, the Suns can completely avoid this situation, whether it is postponing the trade negotiations, or choosing a forward with good potential at the 10th pick after getting Mark Williams, such as Carter Bryant. But they insisted on choosing MaluAchi. The team not only wasted draft resources, but also gave away a future first round. This makes the Sun, which is already facing huge salary pressure, even if he wants to change through trading in the future, he will lose a lot of bargaining chips.

I have to say that the Sun's operations in recent years are really a bit incomprehensible. First, when he got Booker and Durant, he insisted on choosing to accept Bill with an annual salary of $50 million. Then he traded Durant at a low price, and now he won two inside "blue-collar" players at the same time, highlighting a way to go.

And such operations may be the happiest thing about the Houston Rockets. They hold the Suns' 27.29 draft pick. The more the Suns are like this, the greater the probability of the Rockets getting a high pick in the future, and the Rockets may get a big surprise at that time. How many points do you score for the Suns’ operations in this draft? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
