Tyler Ennis:

In the likely event that Bledsoe is still in a Suns uniform next season, Tyler Ennis probably won’t get a lot of run time. Between Bledsoe, Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, the promising Archie Goodwin and Gerald Green, Phoenix’s backcourt is already pretty crowded. And although Ennis logged some crunch-time minutes in a few close games in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, he shot the ball poorly and didn’t look as NBA-ready as he had been previously pegged.

Ennis will be a solid game manager and also showed he belongs on the floor at the end of tight games during his time at Syracuse. In his freshman season, Ennis also averaged an impressive 12.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. But for the time being, Ennis might not be ready for the next stage and with such a fully loaded backcourt in Phoenix, he might be spending a significant portion of his rookie season in the D-League.
