It’s hard to temper excitement when discussing Jalen Lecque.

The 19-year-old, undrafted rookie represents a disruptive force that could undermine the exploitative system running college basketball.

He also might help signal a new era for the Phoenix Suns. (No pressure, young fella.)

The good thing is, he’s not thinking of any of that. He’s just trying to get used to playing pro ball after coming to the NBA straight out of high school.

“It’s a great opportunity,” he said during a break from signing autographs for kids at Phoenix Children’s Hospital on Tuesday.
