The Suns just ROBBED the NBA…
the Phoenix Suns just robbed the NBA as the best player that they needed available for their position fell into their lap and Matt Ishbia and Brian Gregory the people that were doubting them are now going to be silent as they’re pulling off some great moves already and Kan Malawatch was the selection that they made at pick 10 someone that’s going to fit fantastically into Jordan Au’s defensive system and ultimately is one of the biggest steals as he slipped down the boards and landed exactly for this team and a player that they needed exactly what he brings to the NBA so we’re going to dive in and explore what common mileatch can bring to this Phoenix Suns team and why this is such a great home run swing a slam dunk for this team so if you’re interested in the Phoenix Suns want to stay up to date on everything as the Suns also got involved in some other moves which we’ll discuss in a later video make sure to hit that subscribe button so you stay up to date on everything revolving around this Suns team without further ado let’s dive in and let’s explore what really happened as this was absolutely amazing right like I mentioned the Phoenix Suns just robbed the NBA they just pulled off the greatest heist here in my opinion here nailing this 10th overall pick something that a lot of people were questioning right you had to nail this 10th overall pick it was the biggest asset that you were getting in return for a Kevin Durant trade and at the looks of it right now it seems that the Phoenix Suns have hit that home run as if we want to look at the updates here we did see from Michael Scott that the Phoenix Suns selected Kan Malawatch with the 10th overall pick where John Gamadaro was the first on it personally I did not think Malawatch was going to get to this point there were a lot of teams that had some interest in him right the Hornets at pick four the Wizards at pick six the Nets at pick eight the Pelicans at pick seven the Raptors even at pick nine all teams that were ahead of the Phoenix Suns john Gamidoro on Arizona Sports Today on the radio said in his Gambo top five that if Malawatch was there the Suns would strike and take him he didn’t think they were going to that he was going to be there hearing from league officials the Suns did not think that this was going to be possible and they absolutely lucked out with one of the best players here in this draft class in my personal opinion he is going to be dynamic he is the center that you guys want everyone was been asking for the Phoenix Suns to go and get that center go out and get that building block piece around Devin Booker in Kan Malawatch is that best piece here he was arguably the best center in this draft class and I think that this pick is an absolute home run for the Phoenix Suns like I mentioned we want to dive in i said on Twitter “Let’s go i love this pick.” Like a lot of people did as well jack Dan a guy that I know does some Sacramento’s coverage posted that the Suns hit a home run with Malawatch here this is him playing last season and he is going to be a very special player in Phoenix like I mentioned like John Gamber said on the radio i will not add a wild card i will but I will did say I will say I did this based on the belief after talking to several teams that common Malawatch will not be there at pick 10 overall if he is it is a game changer and Gambo was right once again never doubt Gambo on any of these types of situations but what did the Suns get with a player in common Malawatch right obviously they got a center a piece that they really desperately need but how is he going to really affect the game alongside a guy in Devin Booker and Jordan’s system well Malawatch was an absolute animal athlete one of the best rim protectors and has that potential to be one of the best shot blockers in the league going into not only just next season but into the future of the NBA which I really like for the Phoenix Suns is obviously we’ve been missing that defensive interior piece and a lot of Suns fans right like we all mentioned not just Gon Gamdoro but a lot of people did not think a guy in common would fall to this pick so the availability that he was able to was absolutely fantastic his pick and roll work is going to be absolutely fantastic working alongside Deon Booker he’s obviously going to be a guy probably playing more in drop coverage being a guy that’s going to be that defensive anchor for this Suns team not really being able to stretch out to the floor and hit those shots before the Phoenix Suns I do believe he’s going to be once again one of those new cornerstones that this team really invests into and like I’ve said multiple times here on this channel with a Kevin Durant trade there was no center that was available right with a uh other trades around the Phoenix Suns there was no uh centers available right the free agent class is a little bit dry so for the Phoenix Suns here to really invest into the center they had to hit it in the draft and that’s why Gambo said on today’s Gambo’s on the radio today with his Gambo top five some big men names like guys like Conary Boils the guy who got drafted before a guy comma watch as Newell uh Noah Asen uh he mentioned uh Carter Bryant as well alongside some other names as as well that could be on the board for the Suns luckily they lucked out they landed a guy in Kamala watch like I said I’m still shocked at this point that he landed here for the Phoenix Suns once again they made another move as well here later on in the draft right after their pick doing a trade we’ll get into that later but they do have another center coming in here into Phoenix so it’s going to be interesting to see what that trade kind of really boils down to when you look at the fine printed things so once that all kind of comes out we’ll have a video going over that and how that really affects this Phoenix Suns team going into the future right now that they have this center in commod they acquired another one via a trade as well this Phoenix Suns team looks like it’s going to be set at that position and if they try to explore Brad Deal trade or possibly some other moves with other contracts like Grayson Allen Royce O’Neal and some others on this team it’s really going to be able to kind of fill out those other roster holes that this team does have and it makes that future look a little bit brighter post that Kevin Durant trade and that’s what I’ve been screaming since the rooftops here so trust Brian Gregory trust Matt Ishbia here a little bit here with this new regime and look at it already they’ve made a slam dunk pick now obviously you could argue Malawak kind of did fall into their lap to it obviously is the no-brainer pick but at least they made the right decision they selected a guy in common Malawak they didn’t think twice they knew that they were confident in him as a top five in my opinion proper prospect in this draft and he just fell all the way down to 10 for the Phoenix Suns which is just going to be an absolute gamecher in this reset retool round side Devin Booker i think he’s going to be an absolute perfect fit once again in that pick and roll we’re going to see Deon Booker have another dominant big down low one that is very very aggressive as a lob threat and a defensive presence was is going to be very key to fill in some of those holes and who knows maybe he can be one of the best defensive anchors across the NBA and when you look at the Phoenix Suns that’s something that’s been clearly missing lacking for the Suns team post DeAndre Aiden and when DeAndre Aiden was playing his best for the Phoenix Suns that’s when they were in those finals hopes so the Suns are obviously trying to get back to those promised lands drafting a guy like Kam Wallock I think is going to be able to help them get to that point and I’m very very excited with what the Phoenix Suns are doing so once again don’t count out Brian Gregory don’t count out Mashia Matt Ishbia yet i’m sure there’s going to be plenty more moves happening on maybe the Suns once again trade back up into the draft maybe the Suns make some other moves with other some contract players here on the roster that’s something we’re definitely going to be keeping our eyes out on tonight for you guys here for the channel so like I said you want to stay up to date want to figure out everything make sure that subscribe button make sure to hit that like button but Kan Malawatch is now a Phoenix Sun they did it they hit a absolute home run and I’m very very excited to see what a guy in common mile watch can bring to this Phoenix Suns team like I mentioned as a defensive anchor as a guy in the pick and roll and someone who’s going to be an absolute amazing lob threat guy who can score in the post down low and just be an absolute beast in the paint for the Suns something that they’ve been lacking but not also something they’ve been really wanting and desperately wanting for many years later so thank you guys so much for tuning in to today’s episode like I said we’ll have much more content coming up for you guys more videos on the way because the Phoenix Suns are active and they like I mentioned they already did another move getting another center so what will that hold for other centers on this roster and who will be

Welcome to the valley Maluach and Williams
Do you think we are okay for passing up on the hometown kid?
Love the pick Bruce !!!!!!!!!🥰🥰
Isn’t this what everyone said when they drafted DA? Isn’t this what everyone said when they traded for KD? I’ll wait before I make any conclusions.
Trust is earned, time will tell
Clickbait title is lame.
I like the pick, he's a much smarter player than DA was/is.
Good kid
His skill is impressive but the kid has a more competitive heart / drive than DA. 💯
Didn't they trade the pick? For mark williams
A rudy gobert clone
HUUUUUUUUUGE!
more like "he fell in their lap".
Rockets fan here that’s extremely grateful for KD. Really hoped yall would end up with Maluach over Queen but thought the chances of him falling to 10 were slim. Happy for yall! Congrats!!
I’ve been watching full games with this dude nothing jumps out at me
The suns are a joke. 2 bigs on draft night, when they could have selected, Carter Bryant or Cedric coward
Bol bol lite
Building From the Top Down. Rim protection Rebounding. Very Nice Plan
Yup because the rockets wanna try win now smh and sign old grandpa centers
And then they trade a 2029 first round pick for another center. Not smart at all. If all franchises they need to be stockpiling picks not blowing them on draft night.
Him and Bol Bol will be best friends.
I won’t lie – they still have some work to do in convincing me with the rest of the roster, BUT getting Maluach AND Mark Williams to establish a post presence is a damn good start.
