The Phoenix Suns are signing guard Jamaree Bouyea to a new two-year standard contract, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The move comes after Bouyea impressed the organization while playing on a two-way contract, earning him a permanent spot on the active roster.
The 25-year-old guard has taken a long road to professional stability. Over the past three-plus seasons, Bouyea has cycled through two-way contracts and 10-day deals with six different NBA teams. His performance in Phoenix finally secured him the multi-year commitment he has been searching for. In his current rotation role with the Suns, Bouyea is averaging 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
By converting Bouyea to a standard deal, the Suns solidify their backcourt depth as they move deeper into the season. The two-year nature of the contract suggests the front office views him as a reliable piece of their rotation moving forward.
