The Phoenix Suns made a significant trade on draft night, acquiring center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the No. 29 pick (used to select Liam McNeeley), a 2029 first-round pick, and Vasilije Micic. Williams, a 7-foot center entering his fourth NBA season, posted career highs last year. The Suns also selected Khaman Maluach at No. 10, a 7-foot-3/4 inch center with a high potential, passing on other prospects like Derik Queen and Asa Newell. This adds to the Suns' recent acquisitions of centers from Charlotte, including Nick Richards earlier this year.
