Ajay Mitchell could be a target with a high 2nd rounder. There's always a hot name that drops for whatever reason, could be Kolek or even Dunn this year and the Suns could feel like they could grab one later. But trading back for multiple picks doesn't really align with what they've said publicly about draft picks. Maybe some of the newer FO staff has spoken up about needing cheap young talent.

Makes me think Clingman is definitely going to top 4.

There’s talk of Atlanta taking him at 1…ESPN made it sound like the Spurs are letting teams know they need to get to at least 4 to get Clingan…seems like he’s wanted by a lot.

We should get a lot of illumination regarding the current Suns front office in the next few days.

Yeah, hard to see somebody taking Edey when Clingan is still on the board.

Well, at least the Phoenix Suns social media team isn't shying away from the draft. Maybe we're actually planning on utilizing it going forward?

He’s talking suns right now…says suns and Jazz have discussed 22 for 29/32…burns brought up getting the 10th pick from the Jazz if we add 2031, Gambo didn’t say anything about that, but did mention the suns like Jared McCain from Duke and he won’t make it to 22

The Athletic has us trading down multiple times to pick up second rounders in their mock draft:

Kyle Filipowski is being mocked much later than I think he should be drafted.

Feels like every draft there are a few names or hyped up guys who go later than expected. Teams have better intel than fans and know if a guy is going to slip. This draft could be all over the place. Kolek and Dunn could end up late 1st rounders.

Where I’m at…it’s fun to care about the draft again…certainly there are guys I’ll be more excited about if we draft them…but just drafting anyone will make me happy
