16. 2018 second round pick

(Trade Value: D)

This pick will hold slightly less value than this year’s because no one yet knows where it will land, but as part of a trade package it is still something worth potentially acquiring with the knowledge that the Suns are likely to be a lottery team next year as well. If the Suns make a drastic improvement this offeason then the value of this pick will plummet. Although unless the Suns make a miraculous leap (and it would be miraculous) into the upper echelon of NBA teams, then it will still be a pick in the middle of the second round that is perfect for draft-and-stash type players.
