Former NBA star cousin of the Suns trial, is he an excellent scorer in the NCAA stadium?

Basketball

According to HoopsHype reporter Alberto De Roa, the Phoenix Suns have tried out for senior backcourt player RJ Felton from East Carolina University.

Felton was born in May 2002 and is about to turn 23 years old. He is 191cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is a backcourt player with good scoring skills. In the NCAA field this season, Felton made a total of 33 appearances for East Carolina University, where he is located, with averaging 34.5 minutes per game, averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 41.4%, three-point shooting percentage 37.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 74.3%. With his outstanding performance, Felton was shortlisted for the AAC League All-A-Level Team this season, and last season, Felton was shortlisted for the AAC League All-A-Level Team third, which also shows his progress this season and his dominance on the court.

From the perspective of characteristics, Felton has a very good scoring ability. He also has a comprehensive scoring method and rich offensive means on the offensive end. He can also maintain a stable level outside the three-point line. Felton also has certain passing ability and organizational ability, and his performance in rebound protection on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. However, Felton is obviously relatively limited in terms of body shape, and his athletic ability is not particularly outstanding. He looks more like a No. 1 player, while his style of playing is more like a No. 2 player. When he arrives at the NBA, his shortcomings in talent may be further amplified. Not only that, Felton is obviously older in his age, and his future development may be relatively limited. Moreover, his school is mediocre, and the attention he has received is relatively limited.

Judging from the current situation, Felton should have a high probability of becoming a potential undraft, and it should be difficult for him to finally be shortlisted in the next NBA draft. However, Felton is relatively a highly mature player, and he has performed well in the NCAA arena. Felton also has relatively comprehensive personal abilities on the offensive end and is able to assume various responsibilities, which is also a good signal. For the Suns, Felton can also be seen as a potential two-way contract candidate. If Felton can show something unique in the trial, he may also attract the Suns' long-term attention. It is worth mentioning that RJ Felton also has a special identity. He is the cousin of former NBA player Raymond Felton. Considering his cousin's performance in the NBA arena, this identity may also attract more attention for him.
