This is the continuation of a series showing weekly updates for each of the Phoenix Suns’ rookies and sophomores. This piece is for the 5th week.
The Suns had a 2-2 (.500) week. Phoenix lost to the Lakers in Phoenix and beat the Lakers in L.A. They also got blown out by the Houston Rockets and beat the Chicago Bulls. The young Suns put in some work, good and bad as can be expected. Let’s take a look.
Back of the Bench/Injured Players
There have been no recent updates on Davon Reed or Alan Williams. Here’s to hoping they are right on course in their rehabs from their injuries.
Derrick Jones Jr stayed with the NAZ Suns this week, averaging 45% FG 9.3 points 7.3 rebounds 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks in 3 games.
Alec Peters was on fire this week for the Prescott Valley team. He shot 57.5% from the field and 48% from beyond the arc, averaging 24 points per game along with 8.3 rebounds.
Let’s look at what each player averaged this past week as well as 1 good and 1 bad note. If you are looking for offense, you will be disappointed. But there is good to see everywhere.
