The Phoenix Suns ultimately managed to turn Kevin Durant into a trio of rookies, but none have more pressure on them to succeed than Khaman Maluach. That comes with the territory when you're a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft - and at just 18-years-old - the upside of the South Sudanese big man is obvious.
From the perspective of the franchise, they also need Maluach to pop because he fills a real position of need for them. Not since Deandre Ayton was selected first overall by them have they had a big man with so much promise, having struck out on so many duds in between.
