Suns are waiving Keon Johnson, per Woj
The Phoenix Suns are planning to waive guard Keon Johnson to get the roster to 15 for opening night, sources tell ESPN. Johnson, 21, landed with Phoenix from Portland as part of the three-team trade with Milwaukee. He was the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Tough out there.
It’s worse because none of us could see this coming. Why would PHX just waive him like that? He has the value of a first round pick. At least I’ve been told before.
Expected
Phew, thank God you told us.
Undersized shooting guards that can’t handle the ball are a dime a dozen.
[I think this play epitomized Keon](https://streamable.com/5f79gf): run fast, jump high, out of control stupid turnover. Kind of a shame his decision making was so awful because he definitely has the tools to be an NBA player.
Come home, Keon
Cronin really opted into his option just for salary cap manipulation. 200IQ move
Cronin putting his waiver wire claim in 3…2…1
Oh man this is so sad
For those that kept trying to hype him. He isn’t a nba player. Somebody here said he had starter potential. Smh. You could tell if you knew anything about ball he wasn’t
Bless him but I don’t think the poor bugger is nba quality
Neil Olshey gonna get Philly to sign him.
Took them a couple of months to realize what Portland didn’t for 2 years.
