The Phoenix Suns have begun to build its training camp roster by giving former Valley Suns guard Alex Schumacher an Exhibit 10 contract. The deal was first reported by Spot Up Shot’s Paul Garcia. Last year in the G-League, Schumacher averaged 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32 games.

What Schumacher brings to Suns:

The 24-year-old had a two-year collegiate career as Seattle University. In 69 career games for the Redhawks, the 6’3 guard averaged 12.8 points, 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds. In his sophomore season, Schumacher led the WAC in assists per game with 5.1. He went undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft but got an opportunity with the Windy City Bulls G League team.

In 24 games, Schumacher recorded 8.1 points and 3.0 assists per game. He started to find his path with the Bulls, which led to the Valley Suns trade for him midway through last season.

The Suns roster has a question surrounding the point guard position, with no clear option on who’s going to lead the bench unit in that regard. Schumacher is a long shot to campaign for the role, but with the amount uncertainty for next year, nothing is out of the question.
