Nassir Little is drawing attention from a number of teams following his performance in the G League Showcase. Little is still just 25 and one of the better wing defenders in the G League.
“He’s one of the better game-ready call-up guys,” said one veteran scout.
Little was on a $6.25 million contract last season with the Phoenix Suns and remains unsigned. Little turned down lucrative overseas opportunities to continue looking for an NBA contract. Sources say Little is expected to be signed by some team in the coming weeks.
In preseason with the Miami Heat, Little averaged 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.5 minutes over two games. Over 16 G League games with Sioux Falls, Little is averaging 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 33.8 minutes.
