Phoenix Suns fans grew more excited as time drew closer to the selection of the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Would Khaman Maluach still be on the board? Sure enough, the Suns (technically the Rockets) snagged the Duke center, while almost simultaneously trading for Mark Williams. Just like that, Phoenix added two big men.
Williams, who is ironically also a former Duke center, will be the Suns' starting big man. Fans would like to think that Maluach will be Williams' primary backup, but his rough summer league showing showed that might not happen.
