Like House, Peters is also on a two-way contract. Recently, I had wrote about how the Suns need to give Alec Peters extended time up in the NBA. The sentiment from that article still rings true, once the Suns can balance their roster then the team should do a thorough evaluation of Peters against NBA talent. Until that time occurs, Peters is ranked at the eleventh spot based on his lack of NBA playing time.
Peters has only has one more game with the Suns than House does this season. In two games with Phoenix, Peters has averaged 7.0 minutes, 1.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 block while shooting 25.0 percent from the floor and 3-point line. However, Peters’ G-League stats shows Peters’ potential to be a stretch big.
