The Phoenix Suns kick off 2015 NBA Summer League action today against the Washington Wizards at 3 P.M in Las Vegas. With a host of unfamiliar names and a couple of recognizable ones sprinkled throughout the roster, Suns fans who will be tuning in may have very different expectations for this year’s Summer Suns.
Fortunately, even with so many former NBA and NCAA names on the 12-man team, there will be quite a few younger players to look forward to watching who will actually wind up on the Suns’ regular season roster. Since Phoenix is so skewed toward youth, roughly one-third of the Summer League roster (and maybe more) will be suiting up for the Suns next season.
Between the relatively unknowns and the recognizable young guns, which players should Suns fans be watching intently? Here’s a look at the top five Phoenix Suns players to watch during NBA Summer League action.
