The Phoenix Suns have assigned 10th overall pick Khaman Maluach and 31st overall pick Rasheer Fleming to the Valley Suns.
No strangers to this, Maluach and Fleming have been assigned to the G-League multiple times this season, with both [good](/valley-suns/93773/khaman-maluach-phoenix-suns-g-league-development-progress-breakdown) and [bad](/valley-suns/93493/maluach-g-league-game-review-quarter-by-quarter-development-takeaways) games coming from it. Maluach is of particular interest to Suns fans, who are eager to see the top pick develop.
In his six games with the Valley Suns, Maluach is delivering a respectable 15.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game on 57.4%/35.7%/87.5% splits. If Maluach ever emulated those numbers in the NBA, I would be ecstatic.
In his five games with the Valley Suns, Fleming is averaging 17.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals on 50.8%/40.0%/71.4% splits. Fleming has played 30 games for the Phoenix Suns this year on limited minutes as he continues to develop and earn the trust of Head Coach Jordan Ott.
The Valley Suns are scheduled to take on the Sioux Falls Skyforce tonight at 6PM.
