Eliminated in Game 7 of the Conference semi-final, the Suns want to gain depth for the coming season. In addition, a potential trade of Jae Crowder once morest the Jazz winger, Bojan Bogdanovic, the front office is looking for solutions to boost its bench. Coming from behind Frank Jackson for the training camp goes in this direction. A free agent since Detroit declined its 3.1 million team option last June, Frankie Flash had still not found an agreement with an NBA franchise. As advertised Shams Charaniathe deal with Phoenix is partially guaranteed, which means the former Piston will have to prove himself during training camp.
Considered one of the best high school students of his generation, Frank Jackson was elected McDonald’s All American in 2016. But, recurring foot injuries caused his rating to drop when he left Duke. Selected only 31st place in 2017 by the Hornets, he was traded in the New Orleans crowd once morest Dwayne Bacon. After a white rookie season due to a foot problem, Jackson showed flashes of talent in his two seasons with the Pelicans: 7.2 points in 16 minutes. Not enough to convince the leaders who let him go. Signed in 2020 by the Pistons via a two-way contract, he put himself forward much more Motor City, where his scoring off the bench sparked: 10.6 points in 22 minutes last year. It is this ability to score on short sequences that may interest the Suns.
