Wait...What? Why would you say that? I'm pretty sure this guy is heading to Prescott ASAP.

He's probably nowhere near NBA-ready, so I'm sure they're planning on sending him to Northern AZ.

We waived him already so I think he may be going straight to Prescott.
Go Suns!

As others have said, I believe the waiver was not to totally be rid of him, but instead to send him down to our D (G) League team.

Since we are so good at player development. He'll never see an NBA minute with the Suns.

I like both of those players BUT they have done very little other than show flashes of potential. Williams is now out for most of this year. Jones played about 30 total preseason minutes which is odd. They still have a long way to go before becoming success stories.

Do you consider Booker a success story? Nobody expected him to knock on the door of stardom.

And I think it's pretty unfair to knock Williams for getting injured this summer. He was much improved last seasoned.

He didn't knock Williams for being out. He is simply saying that he hasn't shown to be a solid rotational player in the NBA yet. Half a year, that doesn't make.

And as for Booker, are you saying that it was our development of him that put him on that road (although he is a long way away from perennial all-star)? I am not sure either way. I would hope our staff did that, but there are a lot of lotto picks from this org that haven't shown that.
