Suns Sign 2nd Rounder, D.J. Strawberry
Suns brass finally inked their 2nd round draft pick to a contract. The 59th pick, during the 2nd round, D.J. Strawberry has signed a 2-year contract w/ the Phoenix Suns. The contract will pay Strawberry only the league minimum (over $400k) and the 2nd year is an option for the Suns (not for Strawberry).
This is a great move by the Suns since they're not overcommitting for an unproven player. Strawberry received a lot of praise for his summer league play, but how that will translate in the regular season is unknown.
With this contract, the Suns leave the option open to move Strawberry or let him sign with another team if they have other plans at the end of this year. Of course, all will depend on how they advance in the NBA Playoffs and whether or not they win the NBA championship.
