Ty-Shon Alexander to Italy
Italian EuroCup squad Virtus Bologna agreed in a principle to a deal with American guard Ty-Shon Alexander, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Basketnews. Virtus Bologna’s interest in the player was first reported by Superbasket. The expectation is that the deal between the two sides will become official in the coming days, a source told Basketnews. A former Creighton alum, Alexander spent his rookie season in the NBA with the Phoenix Suns under a two-way contract but played only 15 games with the team, averaging a little bit more than 3 minutes per game. In the G League, he played with the Canton Charge, averaging 9.3 points per game while shooting 38% from three-point.
Gerald Bourguet: James Jones, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges all watching Suns Summer League together is a pretty cool thing to see. Nice support for Jalen Smith and Ty-Shon Alexander
Kellan Olson: Ty-Shon Alexander said Chris Paul taught him and Jalen Smith about communicating the most. Alexander brought up how important that is for the two of them on this summer league squad as the two players who understand the system and know what Suns basketball is.
Kellan Olson: Devin Booker on Ty-Shon Alexander: “He’s a fighter, man. Very talented, big guard, good size too. He has all the attributes it takes. And a really good listener. He’s coming around, he’s asking questions — you can tell he’s really in-tune with practice and wants to be better.”
