No Michael Malone on that list is surprising. Jared Dudley coaching Book when they used to be teammates would be wild.

Really seems like Ishbia is missing a golden opportunity to reload the front office. Instead we get internal promotions already setting the stage of "blame the coach again" if the next one doesn't work out. Feels a lot like the white sox (Ishbias minority owners) promotion of Chris Getz to GM which he in no way shape or form deserved. The white sox are still a garbage team go figure.

This is who I hope the Suns take at #10. Sorber would provide the interior toughness and effort they've been missing for a long time. Really underrated passer as well.
If you don't know who Thomas Sorber it is, it's time to familiarize yourself

He's a 19-year-old big with a 7'6" wing span and a versatile skillset that will fit seamlessly at the NBA level

I really love Thomas Sorber's toughness.

Eddie Lampkin is one of the most physical players in the country, but Sorber battles with him and is able to force Lampkin to catch the ball a few feet off the block, then takes a few shoulder bumps without conceding much ground. So good. pic.twitter.com/6ja8FSYttx
Thomas Sorber will bring a lot of value to a NBA team on both ends of the floor. Not an explosive or above the rim finisher, but does great in post-up situations as a scorer due to his impressive strength, touch around the rim and footwork.

The defensive potential of Dunn and Sorber? I'm liking that.

Please let this happen. Go play for Billy D, Beal. Please!

I also wouldn't be mad at Malauch if he slips to 10. This team definitely needs to add size.

Damn, Suns got Maluach, Nick Richards and just traded the 29th pick and a future 1st for Mark Williams. I think the center position has been addressed.

I'm getting Mutombo vibes with Maluach.

They keep making moves.

I'd love to see Penda or Thiero as what's left at PG is major meh.

Yep, they must REALLY like someone to make two trades to get the first pick in the 2nd. I'm hearing it's PF Rasheer Fleming.

Definitely Fleming. Modern NBA PF that has drawn comparisons to Jaden McDaniels.
The Suns will be selecting St. Joseph's wing Rasheer Fleming at No. 31 overall, per @Gambo987.

Possessing a monstrous 7'5" wingspan and floor-spacing ability, Fleming will play immediately in Phoenix as a power forward.pic.twitter.com/6QH8zQv8up

I really thought the Suns were going to drop the ball hard during the draft. So far I'm really liking these moves.

Yeah, I'm surprised and liking how they are building up the roster. If they can get off of Beal without giving up any future 1sts, that would be another W. Making the best of a crap situation.
