The Phoenix Suns are making waves in the NBA Draft's second round. They've already made three trades to get the picks they want. First, they swapped the 36th pick and two future second-rounders with the Minnesota Timberwolves to get the 31st pick. This move shows they are serious about getting the player they want.

The Suns are likely to pick Rasheer Fleming, a forward from St. Joe's. He's a top-20 player on their list. This pick could help fill some gaps in their team. They need power forwards, point guards, and maybe some wings.

In another trade, the Suns dealt the 52nd and 59th picks to the Golden State Warriors for the 41st pick. This shows they are willing to move around to get the right players.

The Suns got the 36th pick from the Brooklyn Nets earlier in the day. They sent two future second-round picks in return. The Nets have already drafted five players in the first round, so they might not have room for more rookies.

So far, the Suns have kept their lottery pick from the Durant trade. They used it to draft Khaman Maluach from Duke at the 10th slot. They also got center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets by trading their 29th pick this year.

There are still many good college players available as the second round begins. Some of the top names include Rasheer Fleming, Adou Thiero, Tyrese Proctor, Kam Jones, and Ryan Nembhard. The Suns have a good chance to pick up a solid player to help their team.
