The Valley Suns have acquired the rights to guard Cassius Stanley in a 6-team(!!) trade, sending out a 2025 second-round pick to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the rights to Gary Clark to the Wisconsin Herd

Cassius Stanley seems well worth taking a flyer on.

Whatever Happened to Duke Guard Cassius Stanley?

Duke basketball one-and-done Cassius Stanley has been out of the NBA for about two years but is now heating up overseas.

His 3 point shot looks easy to block?

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.

Nate Roberts: Drafted by South Bay

He looks interesting but I never trust these videos because many times it’s a very tiny window in an overall game.

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