Suns sign guard Jamaree Bouyea to a Two-Way Contract

The Suns sign guard Jamaree Bouyea to a Two-Way Contract.

I'm curious as to their thinking, although guards Jalen Green and Grayson Allen are presently out due to injuries.

Forward CJ Huntley was cut, but could be re-signed to a G-League contract.

I understand former Suns Jared Butler is currently playing for Crvena zvezda, a professional basketball team based in Belgrade, Serbia.

If he were available, I'm guessing he might have been another guard the Suns would have considered. He played well for the Suns prior to final roster cuts.

eh another older player trying to make it, not interested.

Jared Butler was maybe a blackhole and he wasn't in alignment is my best take as to why we didn't stick with him

For what it's worth, Isaiah Livers is 27 years old.

we have one but do not need anymore of these projects imo. We need another Maluach and Flem for the future. We have Livers and Davis already, imo have lower odds of becoming an impactful contributor.

I don't think 26 is to old. Goodwin is the same age, and Gillespie is 25.

If the dude can shoot he can fill a role for us.

Agree.

Also, it can say things about the Suns injury situation, positions of need and be an indicator of future moves.

Idk, the eye test for me, the floor and ceiling are low with him. Up and down the the pros and semi pros. I think he's waived before christmas.

There is a reason the Suns signed Bouyea to a two-way contract and I doubt this reflects on what they think of CJ Huntley long term.

He's got some spring and quick twitch, that block was pretty awesome.

 

[Mainstreet]

I read somewhere that Jamaree Bouyea might turn into a more rounded version of Cam Payne. It's a possibility.

It might be the best player comparison I've heard.

Btw, I have lots of fond memories of Cam Payne.

 

[GatorAZ]

His misses even look good.

this did not age well

 

[JCSunsfan]

Love this player. He moves quickly, plays with a high level of confidence, passes well, shoots well. Plays like a pg.

No one knew what he is/was. Even his teammates have been surprised.

We are finding ways to make guys work.

Not having retread coaches & diva "stars" who are only worried about their career numbers and cashing a check is what is working

There are a number of over-looked players that can help a team. Gillespie and Bouyea are a couple of them.

One of the NBA's most efficient players is on a two-way contract | Sporting News

Phoenix should convert his deal to a standard contract.

This Suns Guard is Getting Too Hard to Ignore

The Phoenix Suns have star names in their backcourt -- though the play of a newcomer is simply getting too good to pass up.
