Phoenix Suns lauded by writers, fans for 'big-time success' for Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea NBA Draft picks.

PHOENIX -- The dust has settled on the Phoenix Suns' 2025 NBA Draft, and rave reviews are pouring in. The Suns, after dealing Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, acquired the No. 10 pick in the first round and ultimately took Duke center Khaman Maluach, a rim-protecting big who has room to grow before becoming a finished product.

Gregory's first order of business was clearly to trade Kevin Durant, which the Suns did just before the NBA Draft. In return, they received Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the No. 10 pick in Wednesday's first round of the NBA Draft.
