In Las Vegas, time can be lost, but for Phoenix Suns 2nd-year player Jalen Smith, his time in Phoenix can be heard ticking.
Unless his play Sunday night in his first NBA Summer League action improved his odds of staying Phoenix. Or, the desired trade from another team keeps them interested in feeding from the offer that is still on the table.
All are speculations by me, but with the Suns window for a championship still open, the development of a young player is not in the cards. To watch him learn will be fun, because not knowing how he will respond with real minutes against decent competition will be interesting.
