Suns plan to sign point guard Ty Ty Washington on a two-way contract.

Hard to get riled up for a two-way, but, do we really need another PG? The team skews small currently, would have preferred another a bigger wing or true big for the remaining 2-ways.
Nothing wrong with signing them to the farm team. I might have to go to a G League game this year.Hard to get riled up for a two-way, but, do we really need another PG? The team skews small currently, would have preferred another a bigger wing or true big for the remaining 2-ways.

Interesting. The WHOLE organization was on message last season that a PG was NOT needed. Now, same GM, same owner, same core players, and we have FOUR PGs added to the team. Still JJ is not admitting that they needed a PG last season. LOL!Washington Jr. is only 22 years of age.
It seems like someone in the Suns front office finally got the message about needing point guards.
Now the Suns have four. Two point guards on the 15-man roster in Tyus Jones, Monte Morris and two on two-way contracts in Collin Gillespie and Ty Ty Washington Jr.
Looks like the Suns are not only planning for now, but the future as well.

I don't mind this at this point. The goal is Jones will handle the bulk of the duties with Morris as back up. But then again, Jordan Goodwin was supposed to be the PG in the Beal trade and that fell flat. Meanwhile they got rid of Payne because they seemed so sure of Goodwin. Seems like they are making sure they have options after that debacle.Much of the media was singing the same tune until late in the season, when they finally realized a backup point guard wasn't such a bad idea.
Now the Suns have quadrupled down.
It's interesting to note that there have been several front office changes... and our off season seems to have been (at least at this point) relatively competent. Which leads me to wonder to what degree James Jones has actually been involved in making any of these decisions?Interesting.

There was a coaching change. I can hear it now.Much of the media was singing the same tune until late in the season, when they finally realized a backup point guard wasn't such a bad idea.

Cesar Chavez is just like a mile from me. Last time I was there I saw Obama again close up.Ty Ty Washington Jr. has connections with the Valley.
He is a Phoenix native, shares the same agent as Tyus Jones and played for Suns assistant Chaisson Allen with the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League.

TyTy Washington to join Suns on 2-way contract
Phoenix native and point guard TyTy Washington has agreed to join the Suns on a two-way contract, his agent told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.arizonasports.com
But two of them will spend time in the G league. The guys we do have at PG are on one year deals. So likely not staying with us a season from now. I like the potential planning of what we are doing at PG. Plus look at all the guys last season we started the season with that got traded. You never know.he looks like he has some potential, but we are way over loaded at guard with this roster.
Suns didn't. Other teams make use of G-League to bring up talent. We are late to this game. When we had a team in Prescott, we seemingly just treated it as a way to make more money with no thought of developing guys. Under Sarver everything was disjointed. I feel there's more synergy now.We have to develop some sort of farm system for bringing up new talent. So the G-league and two-ways should help. I am amazed that the NBA does not develop talent this way more often.
Hopefully i'm not wrong, which i usually am, but i just don't see 'IT" with Ty Ty. It just seems like trying to make a 29th pick work, almost like last seasons freeagents who we were betting on to keep improving. And only watching highlights I just didn't see enough, then the stats just don't convey that he's good at any one thing.
We have maybe four other pg's more likely be useful. So this signing is just camp stuff to me.Hopefully i'm not wrong, which i usually am, but i just don't see 'IT" with Ty Ty.
