The Suns have opted to release small forward Chandler Hutchison, who had been occupying one of their two-way contract slots, per JD Shaw of Hoops Rumors (Twitter link).
The 6’6″ swingman was selected with the No. 22 pick by the Bulls out of Boise State in 2018, but struggled to stay healthy during his Chicago tenure. He was eventually shipped to Washington during the 2020/21 season. After an uneventful time in Washington, Hutchison latched on with the Suns this season. The forward holds career averages of 5.4 PPG on .442/.309/.643 shooting and 3.7 RPG in 17.1 MPG for 103 games played between the Bulls, Wizards and Suns.
Hutchison appeared in just six contests with Phoenix, averaging 3.7 MPG. In six games with NBA G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors this season, Hutchison averaged 6.0 PPG and 2.7 RPG over 21.7 MPG.
With the loss of Hutchison, power forward Ish Wainright becomes the Suns’ only two-way player for now.
Bismack and Jackson have too much experience for a two way.
Well I can tell you it won’t be Biyombo because he’s a ten year vet
The recent waiver wire transactions really show how poor Bulls scouting was in later GarPax years, guys they thought were core additions struggling to stay in the NBA.
They called this dude the next Scottie Pippen when he got drafted lol. Scrub. He sucks.
Man he comes from the draft year of weak minds, always something with this guy, sat out until the trade deadline last year because he couldn’t mentally prepare for games but collected checks sitting on the bench in street clothes, Wendell Carter is the same way, the second there’s any real expectations in Orlando watch dude fold
Tx u garpax, another bad pick from u…
