Wednesday helped shape their roster by knocking out a need at the center position.<\/a><\/p>\n The Suns kept their lottery selection to draft Duke\u2019s Khaman Maluach and burned their 29th pick this year to acquire center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets.<\/p>\n It plugged major rim-rolling and rim-protecting needs, but the team\u2019s roster still has an imbalance with four centers (Williams, Maluach, Ighodaro and Nick Richards) and five players we\u2019d generally describe as shooting guards (Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen and Royce O\u2019Neale).<\/p>\n Even with two primary ball-handlers in Booker and Green expected to be on the opening day roster, Phoenix could still use a table-setting point guard.<\/p>\n Wing has some bodies with Ryan Dunn, Dillon Brooks and Cody Martin all under contract, but there\u2019s room for additions there, too. Power forward is a need at the moment as well.<\/p>\n As it is, here\u2019s how some key mock draft creators see Thursday going for Phoenix.<\/p>\n NBA mock drafts make Phoenix Suns picks for the second round<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Jonathan Givony<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 52nd: Florida SG Alijah Martin<\/p>\n 59th: Gonzaga PG Ryan Nembhard<\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Sam Vecenie<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 52nd: Missouri wing Tamar Bates<\/p>\n 59th: Gonzaga PG Ryan Nembhard<\/p>\n Sports Illustrated staff<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 52nd: St. John\u2019s wing RJ Luis<\/p>\n 59th: Missouri wing Tamar Bates<\/p>\n
