The Phoenix Suns opened the second round of the 2025 NBA draft by taking Rasheer Fleming after agreeing to acquire the pick earlier Thursday from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Wolves still made the No. 31 pick, which Phoenix agreed to acquire in exchange for the No. 36 pick and two future second-round picks, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Fleming, a forward from Saint Joseph’s, averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season, ranking in the top four in the Atlantic 10 in rebounds and blocks.
The Suns also traded the Nos. 52 and 59 picks to the Golden State Warriors, sources told ESPN, for No. 41, which was used on Kentucky’s Koby Brea.
The draft picked up where it left off at Barclays Center in Brooklyn — though a much smaller portion of it was used than in Wednesday’s first round.
