After a season in which they established themselves as a championship contender, and had plenty of memorable moments, the Phoenix Suns enter the 2021 draft with a first-round pick, at No. 29. As a team that is now looking to contend, expecting a rookie to align with their current timeline would be unreasonable, especially with a pick as late as the 29th. Therefore a possibility the Suns can consider is trading the pick to a rebuilding team for a player who can help the suns’ rotation in the present.
