Manuach, the most likable player in the draft, was selected by the Suns

The strongest center in this session in the draft! The Rockets used the No. 10 pick to help the Suns choose Malu Achie of Duke University!

From South Sudan to Uganda, Manuach changed the fate of his family. After hearing his name, Manuach also burst into tears. ESPN's comment was: The most likable child among all the players to be selected in this class!

Manuach was a young man and a contributor to South Sudan basketball. In 2019, Roll Deng discovered Manuach during a trip. After asking, Manuach followed the training camp organized by Roll Deng and started his basketball career. From 2019 to now 2025, in just six years, he has become the impressive center in this draft.

The Suns have been in chaos in recent seasons, with the team's salary booming, and the team's record has been declining. After stopping in the playoffs this season, the Suns made up their minds to send Durant to the Rockets. In addition to former second-place Jaylen Green and Dillon, the Rockets also have a first-round pick and the 10th pick in this draft.

Just one minute before Manuach was selected, the Charlotte Hornets had just put the center forward, and Mark Williams, who was previously returned by the Lakers, traded to the Suns for this year's No. 29 and a first-round pick in 2029.

Karman Maluach was born in Lumbek, South Sudan. He is 2.18 meters tall and weighs 114.3 kg. He plays as a center forward on the field.

During his time at NCAA's Duke this season, he averaged 21.3 minutes per game, scoring 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 0.5 assists, shooting 71.2% from the field and 25% from three-pointers.
