The Suns’ training camp roster grew to 18 players with the addition of point guard Deonte Burton on a make-good contract that could lead him to Bakersfield.
Burton, 24, is a 6-foot-1 point guard who starred at Nevada, where he averaged 20.1 points and 4.4 assists as a senior in 2013-14. He went undrafted last year and was waived during Sacramento’s training camp before playing in Germany.
Burton averaged 2.6 points and 0.5 assists in 10.2 minutes per game for Ratiopharm Ulm during German League play. He played for Philadelphia’s summer league team this year.
Like previous training camp additions Terrico White and Kyle Casey, Burton is a likely candidate to be part of the Suns’ D-League roster in Bakersfield after the Suns training camp.
