Whats up with that pic with Booker? Why does his arm length look twice as long as his legs like King Kong or some shit?!?

Yeah, that was just an exhibition game; unfortunately, he's just the #4 PG on the Suns' depth chart.

He just needs the playing time to show what he can do.

The Suns are great at fucking up. That likely means DW gets very little playing time until everyone gets hurt again.

Phoenix Suns Waive Former Ohio State Guard Duane Washington Jr.
The Phoenix Suns waive former Ohio State guard Duane Washington Jr. after 31 appearances with the franchise.
PHOENIX SUNS WAIVE FORMER OHIO STATE GUARD DUANE WASHINGTON JR.
Duane Washington Jr. is on the move.
The former Ohio State guard was waived by the Phoenix Suns Wednesday after 31 appearances with the franchise this season. Washington averaged 7.9 points in 12.7 minutes per game for the Suns and made three starts.
Williams liked Lee’s defensive play and was pleasantly surprised with his play on the offensive end. Lee also protected the ball, something that Washington Jr. struggled to do at times.
Washington Jr. didn’t play in four of Phoenix’s last eight games.
Averaging 7.9 points and shooting 36% from 3 in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns, Washington Jr. scored a career-high 26 points, hitting 5-of-9 shots from 3, in an Dec. 27 win at Memphis.
The next month, Lee scored 21 points in a Jan. 8 home loss to Cleveland and went for 25 in a road win Jan. 10 against defending NBA champion Golden State.
Lee joined the team the next game at Denver on the second of a back-to-back.
"He's been good for us," Williams said. "He understands where he is. He's trying to find a home in the NBA and he's done a good job for us. He's a diligent worker. He's always ready. His minutes haven't been consistent, but when he's out there, he's been a benefit to the team."
Washington is in his second NBA season after playing his rookie year with the Pacers. While Washington Jr. had explosive scoring nights, he also could be turnover prone.
The 6-3 guard had a four-game stretch in which he had 15 total turnovers.
Washington Jr. committed four in three consecutive games with the final one coming against the Nuggets in Denver in Lee’s first game with the team.
That’s when a shift was noticed with Washington Jr. playing less and Lee playing more as the Suns were without starting point guard Chris Paul, backup point guard Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet and Devin Booker.

Duane Washington Jr. will soon play professional basketball in the Big Apple.
The former Ohio State standout will sign a two-way contract with the New York Knicks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Washington was previously with the Phoenix Suns on a two-way deal this season.

Former Ohio State basketball player lights up Summer League
A former Ohio State basketball player put on a show during NBA Summer League.NBA Summer League is upon us. It's a time when NBA teams can learn about their young players. Young players are trying to earn some playing time and a spot on the roster. Former Ohio State basketball players are among these groups of players as well.
Duane Washington is one of those guys. The former Buckeye has bounced around a bit in his career. He has played for the Pacers and the Suns before. Now, he's with the New York Knicks' Summer League team. He's trying to get back into the league so he can play.
While the Knicks are loaded at guard, a good Summer League from Washington could mean an opportunity with another franchise. He put a good foot forward with his first Summer League appearance after he lit up the court against the Hornets.
Former Ohio State basketball player lights up the Hornets
Washington was great offensively. He had 26 points on 8/18 shooting, including 4/8 from three. He also added three rebounds and a steal. Those are the kinds of games that he's going to have to have offensively if he wants a shot at making an NBA roster this season.Washington has never been a good defender and is an undersized two-guard. He's not a playmaker, so he can't really run point either. His value is when he's coming off the bench to make shots and score the basketball. When he's able to do that, he adds value to whatever team he's on.
The question remains if he can ever consistently make threes at a good enough clip to make a team bring him in. If he continues to shoot it as he did against the Hornets, some team is going to give him an op
