Cassius Stanley seems well worth taking a flyer on.

Duke Basketball: Whatever Happened to Cassius Stanley?
Former high-flying Duke basketball guard Cassius Stanley, a one-and-one collegian, has been out of the NBA for about two years but is now heating up overseas.

His 3 point shot looks easy to block?Cassius Stanley seems well worth taking a flyer on.

Hopefully its was a too much success at an early age thing and he is mentally ready for his shot at an NBA role.

I didn't see anything particularly bothersome on video, unless he mechanically slow putting up the shot.

The Valley Suns announce they've acquired the rights to Paul Watson in a trade with the Austin Spurs, sending back the rights to Matt Lewis and Lindell Wiggington. Watson is a PHX native who put up 14.5 PPG and 4.0 RPG in 31 regular season G League games last year

I like that the Suns seem to have an affinity for local players.

I thought we traded all our picks. Man, I wish someone would write a CBAFAQ type thing for the G League. So many questions about how the draft works, regular rights work, also in relation to the NBA, etc.

I think this is the same Nate Roberts that played for the University of Washington.

He looks interesting but I never trust these videos because many times it’s a very tiny window in an overall game.I think this is the same Nate Roberts that played for the University of Washington.

It's the G-League, so I never get overly excited by these selections. Roberts went undrafted and I think he is already 25.

When the G-League produces a valuable piece to the Sun’s rotation I’ll pay attention otherwise…

A lot of good players make their way through the G-League, though.
IMO, there is nothing more exciting than finding a hidden talent.

Well, a NBA title with or without a G-League player would elevate my excitement a bit more.

The same here, but sometimes one has to settle for small wins.
I'm curious to see how the G-League team is viewed. I know we the team in Prescott Valley before, IIRC. That was also a darker time for the Suns and it didn't feel like there was any real synergy between the clubs. Now it's a team owned by Ishbia, in the Phoenix metro area, and it appears as if there is real interest in acquiring potential talent.
Has anyone heard if the G-Leaguers will use the Suns practice facility? That could give us a better look at some of the talent.

In the greater Phoenix area, Tempe, I would hope fans get out for the games, especially fans on a budget. Prescott was a bit too far away for Phoenix fans. I expect everything Mat Ishbia does to be first class.
I haven't heard where they will practice but it seems logical the G-League team will practice some at the Suns facility.

I do like the people running the G-league team isn’t sitting around picking their noses. They are actively involved with transactions.

We already had a G-League guy play significant minutes for us. Landry Shammet was the number 2 pick in the G-league draft this year!

and he made a difference?
I would have guessed that he was picked for New York to keep him in their system and give him access to their staff and i would have been right.

Yes! Most nights he definitely helped the other side.

So weird that they have to go to those lengths to keep him.

And the Suns traded a first round pick in the NBA Draft to get him way back when.
