Tyler Ennis

Tyler Ennis’ first year in professional basketball may not be all he envisioned it to be just a while ago.

Former Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis was taken with the 18th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. We sat down with NBA TV’s Jared Greenberg and NBA Scout Ryan Blake to get each of their takes on his NBA future.

I’m real excited. I think at this point everybody just wants to hear their name called. I had a really good workout in Phoenix. Their style of play fits mine, and I think with the young talent Phoenix has and me being a facilitator, I think it could really work well.

After spending most of his life in Canada and the northeast, and then the past year at Syracuse, Ennis will be headed to Phoenix, where the Suns selected him with the 18th pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. Temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees, even in the middle of winter.

Ennis started all 34 games in his only season at Syracuse and averaged 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.1 steals in 35.7 minutes per game.
