15. 2017 second round pick

(Trade Value: D+)

The Suns’ 2017 second round pick is second overall making it borderline first round value in talent with second round value in cost. For a team that has tons of youth on their roster already, adding up to three picks this season (with Toronto’s second round pick later on) seems entirely unnecessary. This pick could be the pick most likely traded because it does hold some intrinsic value based on it’s location in draft order and the player selected there could still potentially become a role player in the future. The return on the pick would probably be a future second rounder if traded one-for-one, but it could also be a valuable piece added to a trade for an already active player. Adding this season’s second round pick in a package for a player of Kristaps Porzingis’ ilk could be a deal-maker.
