The Phoenix Suns remade their center position this offseason and left Oso Ighodaro without a role after a promising rookie season. The 6’10 big man is strictly a five, but Phoenix traded for Mark Williams and drafted Khaman Maluach in the lottery. The Suns still have Nick Richards, which likely puts Ighodaro fourth on the depth chart and unable to see action.
The 23-year-old showed flashes as a rookie. He averaged 9.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in the seven games where he played over 30 minutes last season. Ighodaro shot over 60 percent from the field in year one and is intriguing for any team looking for a long-term answer at the five.
