Heading into the 2015 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns have quite a few questions to answer. Though the Eric Bledsoe “rumors” that have spiraled out of control aren’t grounded in fact, the Suns still could be wildcards on draft day.
Will they take the power forward they need in the first round? Will they try to trade up or down in the draft? Will Devin Booker or Myles Turner or some other terrific prospect fall to them at No. 13? And if it does come down to choosing a power forward, will it be Frank Kaminsky, Bobby Portis, Kevon Looney, Montrezl Harrell or one of the other options available?

We can speculate all we want about the first round, but Phoenix has an opportunity to address some major areas of need in the second round as well. The second round is mostly a crapshoot (with the emphasis usually being on “crap”), but there will be a few respectable prospects available who came to visit Phoenix in pre-draft workouts.
Should the Suns address their frontcourt depth or their three-point shooting needs? Is there any hope of finding a steal halfway through the second round? And after weeks upon weeks of draft profiles, what’s the final consensus on who the Suns should be targeting?
Assuming the Suns keep their two slated picks at No. 13 and No. 44, here’s a look at who should be on general manager Ryan McDonough’s radar in the second round (bearing in mind who may or may not be available by then).
Honorable Mentions: Cliff Alexander, Pat Connaughton and Michael Qualls
