The Suns signed Canadian insider with a training camp contract. His previous performance in Summer League was amazing

According to RealGM's NBA trading log, the Phoenix Suns have signed Tyrese Samuel, a former free agent inside player. According to Spotrac founder Keith Smith, what Samuel got from the Suns was a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses.

Samuel, from Montreal, Canada, was born in March 2000. He is 25 years old, 208cm tall and 107kg. He was the undraft in the NBA draft last year. In fact, the Suns sent Samuel a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses to Samuel at about the same time last September. But they quickly cut Samuel, who also joined the Suns' NBA Development League team, the Valley Suns, after the start of the NBA regular season last season. In the NBA Development League last season, Samuel made a total of 49 appearances, averaging 19.9 minutes per game, averaging 9.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 63.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 18.2%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 59.2%. Samuel's performance last season still had certain highlights. With limited playing time, he showed good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end, and he also had certain rebound protection and interior defense ability on the defensive end.

Previously, Samuel represented the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA Summer League. He played 3 games in the summer league, averaging 17.3 minutes per game, averaging 11.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 77.8%, shot 50% from three-pointers and 75% from free throws. Samuel's performance during the summer league is impressive. He showed quite good scoring ability in his limited playing time, his offensive efficiency is quite excellent, he also showed certain shooting ability, and he can also play a certain role on the defensive end. It seems that he is also an all-round player with both offense and defense. However, he still has no way to get a contract from other teams. In this case, he seems to be able to continue signing such a training camp contract with the Suns.

If nothing unexpected happens, Samuel should be cut by the Suns again soon and will continue to appear in the Suns' NBA Development League team's lineup of the Valley Suns after the start of the new season. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, if Samuel is cut by the Suns next and can stay in the Valley Suns for 60 days in the NBA Development League field in the new season, he will be able to get a reward of up to $85,300 from the Suns.
