Every rookie has a vet. That’s what I read, anyway. A guy who takes a young player under their wing, shows them the ropes, and plays the role of big brother. Phoenix Suns rookie, Ty Jerome, recently interviewed with Yahoo’s Ben Rohrbach to talk about who his veteran mentor on the team was, and the answer might surprise you.
At least, it surprised me.
Jerome made a point to call out Devin Booker as a guy who went out of their way to help him since day one but then gushed over his relationship with, of all people, Tyler Johnson.
