Good. Let’s get that young pup some run!

Awe beep I didn't know Jalen Smith had his own thread. I didn't scroll down far enough.


Mods ill leave it up to you whether to merge or not.

He has a unique skillset and he also looks like he has a basketball IQ.

This is very encouraging. If he couldn't produce in the G league I would be very worried.

Hey, don't be dissing G-leaguers. Who do you think the Suns lost to last night?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns so need Jalen Smith when he is ready. Nice to see him getting minutes and developing. Maybe later this season he can help the big club.

 

[Carolinacacti]

To bad the Suns don't own a G league team. He might be getting more then 15 minutes.

 

[Finito]

Honestly I’m not worried about this kid at all. We all knew he wasn’t physically ready for the NBA he needs to put on weight but the skills are there and from all accounts he’s a workout fiend with a good head on his shoulders

Jalen Smith has the skills and athleticism. If not this season, maybe next season he helps the Suns.

Like a skinnier Giannis

 

[ProdigalSun]

Not ready to give up on this kid just yet

 

[Mainstreet]

Jalen went scoreless today (0-6), had 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the loss by the Agua Caliente Clippers to the Lakeland Magic.

He played 15 minutes.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

The film looks good, very athletic and likely high character guy. Still pissed was screaming at tv for halliburton. PG had 1000% more value to the suns since the chances if success were higher sitting behind cp3 for a couple years

I would certainly hope not!

When is the gleague season over? I don't imagine he'll be called back up unless there is another big run of injuries. I'm curious when he'll be back. I know they're doing the season in a bubble in Florida and also have a condensed season.

The G-League season is only about a month and this includes the playoffs so Jalen Smith should be available to return to the Suns soon.

Ty-Shon Alexander who is on a two-way contract should also be available.

Eighteen teams, including 17 NBA G League teams and NBA G League Ignite, will each play 15 games from Feb. 10-March 6 at Disney. The top eight teams from the 135-game schedule will advance to a single-elimination playoff, which will begin on March 8 and conclude with the NBA G Final presented by YouTube TV on March 11.

Glad you posted all of that info. Selling the NAZ Suns wasn't a big deal this year since the league is so condensed. We aren't the only franchise without a dedicated G League team. With their only being 17 teams, I imagine there aren't many teams with singular control of their g league team.

Hope it helps Jalen be more equipped to handle 15-20 minutes a night when he returns. It would be cool if Alexander can earn some minutes also since he's kind of like our 2nd round pick this year.

I think Alexander is the most ready to play but the Suns are loaded at guard.

In today’s game he had 10 points on 3-10 shooting and 7 rebounds in 21 minutes. He was -36 in a 39 point blowout though. It looks like the second unit (which he is playing with) got destroyed.
