The situation surrounding Phoenix Suns All-Star forward Kevin Durant continues to evolve by the day, with momentum building toward an imminent trade, possibly as soon as next week. While the destination remains uncertain, the league is bracing for a seismic shift, one that could alter the landscape of the Western Conference in an instant.

Kobe Sanders, a 6-9 guard, is working out for NBA teams after a successful college career at Nevada. He averaged 15.8 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in his final season. Kobe Sanders was a 5-8 high school freshman in California just hoping to go to college.

Durant, 36, is said to be top of the transfer list in Phoenix, who are looking at trade options for the forward and a chance at regaining some form of control in the upcoming Draft, where they will start 10th.

Who could be hidden-upside guys graded near the first-round bubble of the NBA Draft? Here's a look at five prospects the Suns should consider.

Jordan Ott laid down his philosophy and shared how through relationships, he will relate and create success for the Suns.

The Phoenix Suns have the 29th overall pick in the first round and 52nd overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft.

The Suns started this past season with Jusuf Nurkic at center. He was acquired in a trade that sent Deandre Ayton to the Portland Trail Blazers before the 2023-24 season. They later traded Nurkic to Charlotte and landed Nick Richards from the Hornets in a separate deal.

Ott is the organization’s fourth head coach in four seasons and arguably the most important in a couple decades.
