Headed to Phoenix
Maluach was selected by the Suns with the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets made the draft pick, but Maluach is headed to the Suns as the 10th overall pick that was included in the Kevin Durant (ankle) trade, which is still pending. The seven-footer out of Duke is a lengthy, rim-running center who was productive at the college level but has plenty of room to grow. Maluach's 1.3 blocks per game aren't indicative of his defensive impact, often dissuading players from attempting shots at the rim. He's got a shot form good enough to possibly become a stretch five down the road. For now, he'll be a high-impact rim protector and a strong rebounder. Per Shams Charania of ESPN, the Suns acquired Mark Williams on Wednesday night in exchange for the No. 29 pick and a future first-round pick, so Maluach will likely start his career coming off the bench.

Target for New Orleans?
The Pelicans could target Maluach with the seventh overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, William Guiillory of The Athletic speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans are looking to assemble the best possible lineup to maximize the potential of Zion Williamson, and it wouldn't be out of reach to see the team drafting Maluach, out of Duke, as the long-term answer at center. Rookie Yves Missi showed glimpses of excellence as a rookie in 2024-25, but Maluach has far more potential and could be more impactful on both ends of the court. Guillory notes that the team found success using double-big lineups featuring Kelly Olynyk and Missi last season, and that bodes well for Maluach if he ends up in New Orleans.
