The Phoenix Suns should trade their second round pick no matter what

The Phoenix Suns lost out on the lottery when they slid three spots (although kind of five) finishing with the 6th overall pick in the Draft Lottery.

However, their second round pick, 32nd overall, was set in stone regardless of where the lottery took them with their first round pick.

Generally, bad teams would be excited to have that high of a second round pick as the talent at the end of the first round and beginning of the second round is generally vary comparable. The beauty of selecting second overall in the second round is that the contracts are no longer guaranteed, and if you take a player with the last pick in the first round versus the first pick in the second round, although both may turn out to be busts, it is much easier – and cheaper – to move on from the second rounder than the first.
