The Phoenix Suns could right their wrong with trading away their former draft pick.
PHOENIX -- Toumani Camara was once a promising draft pick for the Phoenix Suns before being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers in the massive deal that saw Deandre Ayton also pack his bags for guys such as Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen coming back to the Valley.
Camara impressed Suns brass in Summer League play and has since impressed those in Portland through the early stages of his career. Superstar in the making? Not quite, though Camara is evolving into a very solid piece of Portland's puzzle moving forward.In their article going through dream and realistic trade targets, Camara was indeed name dropped as Phoenix's "realistic" possibility.
"The Phoenix Suns had the right idea drafting Ryan Dunn, a defensive star in college who apparently learned how to shoot threes over the summer. Why not double down on the versatile-defense play and go after Camara, a switchable, high-energy forward whose shooting growth as a sophomore is almost as surprising as the leap Dunn made after the draft?" wrote Grant Hughes.
However, it feels like it would take a lot for Portland to move off Camara, especially since the organization reportedly insisted Camara was part of the original trade package and has only seen their confidence paid in dividends since.Donnie Druin is the Publisher for All Cardinals and Inside The Suns.
