Roddy (two years) and Quinndary Weatherspoon (three years) are the only two players on the roster with more than a year of NBA experience.
11 of the 15 players on the team are rookies, while Isaiah Wong (the 55th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft) and Robert Franks have one year of experience in the NBA. One interesting name left off the roster is Collin Gillespie, who signed a two-way deal with the Suns last week.
Rookies Boo Buie (Northwestern), Tyrese Samuel (Florida) and Tyson Walker (Michigan State) were quickly reported to agree to deals with Phoenix for the summer league after the conclusion of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The team will be coached by Vince Legarza, who was the first reported assistant coach hired under new coach Mike Budenholzer.
Below is the team’s full roster with position, height, weight, birthdate, college and experience included for every player (via Suns):
