Valley Suns select Nate Roberts, Olin Carter III in 2024 NBA G League Draft

The Valley Suns continued building out their roster for their inaugural season as the NBA G League affiliate of the Phoenix Suns, making two selections Saturday in the G League Draft.

With the 19th pick, the Suns chose former Washington Huskies big man Nate Roberts, who most recently played 10 games for the Motor City Cruise in last year’s Showcase Cup.

The 6-foot-11 Roberts started all 58 games he played over his last two seasons at Washington from 2020-22, averaging 5.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 22.5 minutes per game.

In the second round, the 50th pick netted the Suns guard Olin Carter III, who played 19 regular season games for the Sioux Falls Skyforce last year after playing collegiately for San Diego.
