The Suns signed the backcourt scorer again. His performance with the Warriors during the Summer United period was terrible?

According to Keith Smith, a reporter from American sports salary media Spotrac, Phoenix first signed backcourt player Jaden Shackelford with a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10, and then cut him. It is worth mentioning that Shackleford experienced a similar scene last summer. He also completed the signing with the Suns in late September last year, and he was immediately cut by the team.

Shackleford was born in February 2001 and is 24 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is the undraft in the 2022 NBA Draft. Shackleford has appeared in the NBA Summer League many times, but has never been able to get standard contracts or two-way contracts from NBA teams. In the past few seasons, he has had to work hard in the NBA Development League. Last season, he played for the Suns' subordinate team, the Valley Suns. He played 50 games in the NBA Development League, averaging 30.9 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 40.2%, three-point shooting percentage 36%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.5%. After the season, Shackleford also appeared in the Puerto Rico League. He made a total of 7 appearances in the Puerto Rico League, averaging 21.7 minutes per game, averaging 6.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 30.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 31.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

Previously, Shackleford represented the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Summer League. His performance in the summer league was obviously not ideal. He played 7 games in total, averaging 21.8 minutes per game, averaging 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 27.5%, three-point shooting percentage was 26.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 85%. Shackleford's performance in the summer league was not ideal, his scoring ability was not displayed at all, his offensive efficiency was also a mess, his performance in outside shooting was also worrying, and his performance on the defensive end was also very unsatisfactory. As a player who has played in the NBA Summer League many times, this performance is indeed a little worse. The purpose of the Suns' immediate cut after signing is also very clear. They hope that Shackleford can continue to play with the other NBA Development League team, the Valley Suns, after the start of the new season. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, after waiting for the start of the NBA regular season in the new season, if Shackleford continues to choose to join the Valley Suns and stays in the Valley Suns for 60 days in the NBA Development League field in the new season, he will be able to get a maximum of $85,300 from the Suns. After years of hiding in the NBA Development League, can Shackleford play a convincing enough performance in the new season?
