Phoenix Suns Land Khaman Maluach with 10th Overall Pick in First Round of 2025 NBA Draft
- The Phoenix Suns chose Khaman Maluach as their first-round selection at number 10 during the 2025 NBA Draft held in Brooklyn, New York.
- Maluach, a 7-foot-2 center from South Sudan and Duke University, was originally drafted by the Houston Rockets but his rights will transfer to the Suns as part of a pending Kevin Durant trade.
- During his single season at Duke, he contributed an average of 8.6 points, pulled down 6.6 rebounds, and recorded 1.3 blocks per game across 39 contests, while also representing South Sudan in three matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
- The Suns attempted to strengthen their frontcourt depth alongside Maluach by trading a first-round pick for center Mark Williams, though the deal was ultimately voided after he failed a physical.
- Maluach is anticipated to provide solid rim protection and rebounding as the Suns bolster their center depth, though he may initially serve in a reserve role.
