Suns trade for the 36th pick in 2025 draft, will have three 2nd round picks

Who’s still available for the Suns:

The biggest surprise prospect to drop into the second round is Saint Joseph’s Rasheer Fleming. The 20-year-old was a projected mid-20s pick in the first round, but has found his name still on the board on Thursday. In his junior season with the Hawks, Fleming averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.9 stocks. He is an athletic 6’9 and shoots 39% from the three-point line.

Fleming will likely not be there for the Suns at 36th with his skillset, but Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud is a stellar second option. The 7’1 Frenchman was All-ACC in his senior season with the Cardinal, recording 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks. The 22-year-old is the prototypical modern big man with his massive size and ability to shoot beyond the arc, shooting 34.7% from 3 on 5.5 attempts per game.

The hit-rate in late second round picks is like hitting the lottery, but Gregory has two chances are 52nd and 59th overall. Gonzaga’s Ryan Nembhard has been thrown around as a possibility for Phoenix, as it held a workout for the Bulldogs point guard. Nembhard is a floor general and a leader for Gonzaga and had a career-high in assists (9.8), steals (1.7) and 3-point percentage (40.4%) this past year.

ESPN has Phoenix picking Florida guard Alijah Martin 52nd. The senior guard is 6’2 but has a 6’7 wingspan, which makes his defensive versatility on the next level interesting. He shot 36.4% from beyond the arc in his five-year college career and could be stellar 3-D guard for the Suns.
