Valley of the Suns profiled Cameron Johnson and his NCAA champion counterpart, Ty Jerome, earlier this summer. However, there hasn’t been much talk around the third Phoenix Suns’ rookie, Jalen Lecque.
The Suns signed Lecque to a four-year contract, two of which are guaranteed. This kind of deal for an undrafted free agent is practically unheard of, and mimics what you might see given to a late first-rounder or early second-rounder.
Unprecedented is sort of the norm for Lecque, especially when it comes to his path to the league.
Most NBA rookies come from college or overseas.
