How the Suns could trade for EVERY draft pick
By Tim Holstad
17th Pick
The Bucks would make this trade if there’s nobody at their draft position that they love. They also dump Teletovic’s $10 million a year contract, as he doesn’t fit their style like they thought he would. In return, they get the Suns lottery protected pick next year, and a late 2nd round pick in this draft. This is the point in the draft where the prospects stop being must-get players, and start becoming projects and role players to fill a need.
Kurucs is a big-bodied forward who can get to the basket, finish, and even distribute a little. He’s a more physical player than TJ Warren, and would contribute a unique skill set to the Suns. His 3 point shot definitely needs work, but his defensive upside makes him an interesting prospect in this position for Phoenix. Whether he plays right away or is stashed for a year or two, he could definitely help this team down the road.
