Insider Highlights 6 Names Suns Want in 2026 NBA Draft

The 2026 NBA Draft is near, and the Phoenix Suns are looking to add another young player capable of contributing right away while still holding development for the future.

Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro seems to have a pulse on exactly who the Suns are targeting.

Six players, according to Gambo, Phoenix covets during this draft – whether it be at their original No. 47 pick or a potential trade-up:

Baba Miller, F, Cincinnati

Miller was productive during his final college season, averaging a 13 point/10.3 rebound per game double-double with an impressive 7-1 wingspan.

However, he shot just 19% from deep at Cincinnati. He’s not quite a shooter and thus his value resides lower than other prospects in the class. Think of him like a power forward/center that brings versatility to the mix.

Trevon Brazile, F, Arkansas

Brazile has an even bigger wingspan at 7-4, and as a power forward he averaged 1.6 blocks during his last year. His high motor, rim-running ability and 34.1% conversation rate from deep make him an attractive prospect.

Brazile is often described as sporadic offensively but posseses the energy/effort to stick in Jordan Ott’s system.
