23rd overall selection and Atlanta draft selection Asa Newell improved upon his Summer League debut on Friday against Miami with a more efficient and productive output against the Suns: 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 4-of-5 from behind the arc.

Sometimes, wins and losses do not always prove to be the ultimate result. Facing off against the Atlanta Hawks, the Phoenix Suns lost the Summer League game 80-98. However, the main aim of the event is to take a look at the young prospects of each team.

No Khaman Maluach, the Phoenix Suns’ 10th overall pick. No Rasheer Fleming at 31. No Ryan Dunn. A big chunk of what had us tuning in was suddenly missing. But that’s Summer League for you. It happens every year.

With Ighodaro and Koby Brea catching a breather late in the quarter, rookie Alex Schumacher stepped up. The Seattle product gave the Suns a jolt off the bench, scoring six quick points, capped by a buzzer-beating bucket to close the frame.
