After winning three centers in a row, the Suns signed a undraft with a two-way contract?

According to ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony, the Phoenix Suns have signed the undraft in this year's NBA draft with a two-way contract, CJ Huntley, a big five inside player who previously played for Appalachian State. Givony also added: Huntley's performance before the draft was excellent, and his impressive performance in the Portsmouth Invitational attracted the attention of the Suns.

Huntley was born in January 2002 and is 23 years old, 211cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is an inside swinger with good scoring ability. In the NCAA game this season, Huntley made a total of 31 appearances for Appalachian State University, with averaging 33.6 minutes per game, averaging 15.7 points, 8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 49.7%, three-point shooting percentage 35.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 69.2%. Huntley has performed quite well this season. He was successfully shortlisted for the second team of the Sun Belt League All-Team, and his performance has also been fully recognized.

From the perspective of characteristics, Huntley's scoring ability is quite good. He has rich scoring methods. His scoring ability and finishing ability at the basket are quite good. He also has good outside shooting ability. However, Huntley's athletic ability is relatively average and there are also problems with movement speed on the defensive end. He is easily targeted by opponents on the defensive end, and he is obviously older. He has not performed at the dominant level in the NCAA field at this age, which also shows that his potential and development space in the future are relatively limited, and it will be difficult for him to become a very excellent NBA player in the future. It is also because of these factors that Huntley's draft market was not ideal and eventually became a undraft.

In this year's NBA Draft, the Suns first obtained Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets through trade, and then they selected Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick in the first round, and they selected Rasheer Fleming, a junior inside swinger from St. Joseph University, with the 31st pick in the second round. Add to that Nick Richards and Oso Ighodaro, the team looks very crowded. It should be difficult for Huntley to get the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup in a short period of time. He should most likely stay in the NBA Development League field for a while. He also needs to attract more attention through his performance in the NBA Development League field. I don’t know if he can help himself win the trust of the team’s coaching staff and strive to launch an attack on the rotation lineup through his performance in the summer league and NBA Development League.
