The Phoenix Suns aren't exactly building for the future with their recent moves, as acquisitions such as Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal among others have pushed Phoenix into win-now territory for the next few seasons.

Despite the initial plethora of draft picks handed out in those massive trades, the Suns have assembled a load of second-round picks to ensure they're still receiving some sort of youth movement as the years trickle on. 

The current roster is flooded with veterans ready to make an instant impact, though the Suns do have a handful of young difference-makers that project well for the future. 

Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley listed his top three for Phoenix:

Suns' Three Most Promising Prospects Revealed

1. Jordan Goodwin

Buckley: Sneaking Goodwin into the Bradley Beal blockbuster followed Phoenix's offseason blueprint of finding potential bench contributors at bargain prices. It also scratched itches for both a pass-first point guard and a feisty perimeter defender.

2. Toumani Camara

Buckley: Expectations should be tempered for Camara, this summer's No. 52 pick, but there's a non-zero chance he cracks Phoenix's rotation at some point. If he finds consistency with his perimeter shot (30.7 percent over four college seasons), he could be a solid stretch 4 who can switch on defense.

3. Saben Lee

Buckley: Phoenix only has three players who qualify for this exercise, so the spotlight lands on Lee, a three-year pro who parlayed a couple of 10-day contracts in January into two-way deals for this past season and the upcoming one. He struggles as a shooter, but he takes care of the basketball (career 3.2 assists against 1.0 turnovers) and plays hard at both ends.
