This looks like a real good pick up for a 2 way. He looks like he already has an NBA 3 point shot which goes a long way.

He's young and hopefully will improve, pretty bad defensively, and not very good offensively either outside his 3 pointer, but it would not surprise me if he outplayed Damien Lee.

It's especially exciting to get him on a two-way contract. He has NBA experience, plus the Suns keep their 15th roster spot open.

That is pretty dang funny.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This is a nice get imo. Not a speedster or quick twitch athlete. But smooth and seems to have a nice quick release and stroke.

I vote Afro over the man-bun.

That is pretty dang funny.

Although, Washington Jr. didn't play well in the Las Vegas summer league, he seems well worth a two-way contract based on his play last season with the Pacers.

Summer league schmummer league, glorified practices with 12 guys who just met.

Personally, I like the hair in dreadlocks the best.

I'm still hoping for Olivier Sarr on a two-way contract, but the Suns may be waiting for other options.

Also, Ish Wainright is still out there.

I thought we converted Ish's contract at the end of last year. It was a 2 year deal.

Washington's assist numbers are certainly lacking, but I will take a guy who can average nearly 10 a game and is still young enough to improve as a 15th man on the roster.

He can't be as brutal to watch as Elfrid Payton.

It is pretty funny how the Suns and the Pacers like doing so much business together.

I don't know for sure, but I thought Wainright is a free agent or could become one. He is on a qualifying offer, if I'm reading it correctly.

No doubt he is better than Payton, although Washington's assist to turnover ratio is a concern.

Yes, some back and forth going on in twitter comments.

 

[Muggz]

Washington could be a good find and if JJ wanted him I'm down, for now, Until they try to play him at PF.
It doesn't hurt that he gets to learn from a Point God.

I swear i heard the Suns signed Ish? Guess not
I like his size, if he can fit in he's someone to put in front of Giannis.

 

[Covert Rain]

This appears to be the Suns move to backup PG. I don't expect another move at this spot. If so, the Suns either think they found a diamond in the rough or don't think they need that much help at this position. If the Suns don't get KD, they still need some FC help. It's going to be interesting to see if they make any other moves.

Reminds me of Cameron Payne excecpt right handed and 5 inches taller. He does not look 6' 7 plays low.

He’s 6’3”.

He’s 6’3”.

With a 6'7 wingspan, so he is basically the same size as payne
