The Suns have signed guards Adonis Arms and Saben Lee, according to a team press release relayed by Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports (Twitter link).
Arms went undrafted this year out of Texas Tech, then played for the Nuggets’ summer league team. He was also on Denver’s training camp roster but was waived on Sunday. In his last college season, he averaged 8.6 PPG on .448/.308/.744 shooting, along with 4.4 RPG, 2.8 APG and 1.0 SPG.
Lee played the past two seasons with the Pistons. He was included in the Bojan Bogdanovic trade with the Jazz, who waived the former second-round pick on Sunday. Lee appeared in 85 total games for Detroit, averaging 5.6 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .434/.265/.731.
The Suns no longer have a G League team, so the club has no need to sign-and-waive players to secure their NBAGL rights. We’ll see what Phoenix’s plans are for Arms and Lee, who are both eligible to sign two-way contracts.
Note: *Phoenix doesn’t have a g league team anymore, as they were sold to Detroit a year ago and are now the Motor City Cruise.*
They sold their old team and have a new one.
No they don’t, them and the blazers are the only ones without a team
Good catch, thanks.
I liked Arms in summer league. He played hard, and was interesting at a couple of positions
Lee has a lot of things to like about him at guard, but it’s really hard for guards to make the league right now. An example of why we need expansion, some type of more co trol over a couple of more G-league guys, or possibly a 3rd 2 way with more limitations. Way too many guys not in the league that should/could be right now
Adonis Arms sounds like a pro wrestling name
