- Formats: Watchlist-only deep dynasty; no redraft or points-league floor
Role and evidence
The July 18 roster lists Huntley as one of Phoenix's three two-way players. The live team page also reported an unspecified Summer League hamstring injury and no firm return timetable. Sources: RealGM current roster, accessed 2026-07-18, NBA Suns team page, accessed 2026-07-18. Confidence: high on status, medium on dynamic injury wording.
Huntley recorded 10 points, four rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 29 minutes in the April 12 short-handed finale. That appearance illustrates emergency utility, not a settled rotation. Source: official NBA gamebook, 2026-04-12. Confidence: high on sample, low on extrapolation.
Phoenix has standard-contract depth at every frontcourt position: Miles Bridges, Dillon Brooks, Rasheer Fleming, Ryan Dunn, Haywood Highsmith, Koa Peat, Mark Williams, Oso Ighodaro, and Khaman Maluach. Huntley's NBA path therefore requires both health and multiple absences.
Category shape
- Wins: Potential finishing efficiency and modest forward rebounding.
- Neutral: Three-point and defensive rates are not established at NBA volume.
- Costs: Every counting category through lack of opportunity.
- Build fit: Only deep developmental formats with two-way/taxi capacity.
Points and dynasty outlook
Huntley has no reliable NBA points projection beyond emergency appearances. Dynasty managers should evaluate G League minutes, health, and any conversion before box-score flashes.
Floor, base, ceiling
- Floor: Hamstring rehab and G League development with no meaningful NBA action.
- Base: 10 games at five minutes when active.
- Ceiling: Frontcourt injuries create 15-minute appearances; still a deep-league-only profile.
Draft verdict
Huntley is not a redraft target. The first actionable checkpoints are hamstring clearance, G League role, and whether Phoenix uses the third two-way slot differently before opening night.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Appalachian State, five seasons (2020-25), 153 games, 1,324 career points. Final season (2024-25): 15.7 PTS, 8.1 REB, 1.1 AST in 33.6 MPG on .500 FG and a career-best 36% from three; Second-Team All-Sun Belt. Draft: undrafted (2025). Signed a Suns two-way June 2025, was waived November 17 without an appearance, stayed with the Valley Suns (G League), and was re-signed to a two-way March 2, 2026.

(Totals: 12 points on 6-of-11, no free-throw or three-point attempts — the scoring identity 2×6 = 12 checks out. Ten of the 12 points came in the 29-minute April 12 finale.) The real 2025-26 workload was the G League: 41 games for the Valley Suns at 15.3 PTS, 7.9 REB, 1.1 BLK, .632 FG in 26.7 MPG.
Durability: No college injury history across five seasons; the current flag is the July 2026 Summer League hamstring issue with no announced timetable. His thin NBA GP total is contract-status-driven, not medical.
Trajectory: The record shows a late-blooming, efficiency-first big — a .632 FG G League season with a block per game is a genuine two-way rookie success, and the finale cameo showed the emergency utility Phoenix keeps him for. In 2026-27 he competes only to hold the two-way slot and to be the first frontcourt call-up behind nine standard-contract forwards and centers. He becomes fantasy-relevant in no realistic 2026-27 scenario short of multiple frontcourt injuries plus a contract conversion; the actionable checkpoints are hamstring clearance and G League scoring volume.
