• [Last Word on Sports] - Ranking Former Suns Now Playing Abroad
  As the Phoenix Suns get ready for their against the Sacramento Kings, many of their former players are preparing for their seasons as well. They spent time with the Suns as role players, but now suit up in various countries. While their NBA careers may be over, these players still excel at various stages, from starring in China to playing in EuroLeague Finals. Top 6 Suns Currently Playing Abroad Honorable Mentions (Shangai Sharks, China): 13.6 points, 9.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds per game (Olimpia Milano, Italy): 7.0 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds per game (Panathinaikos, Greece) (Shenzhen Leopards, China): 13.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds per game 6. Jared Harper, Hapoel Jerusalem (Israel) 2024-25 stats: 20.6 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds per game After joining Phoenix in 2019, struggled to find consistent opportunities in the NBA. He only played 16 games over three seasons, mainly starring on the Suns, New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans' respective G-League sides. But the two-time Second-Team All-SEC nomination with Auburn has restored his confidence and scoring ability abroad. First with Valencia, from 2022-24, before joining Hapoel Jerusalem. He enters the 2025-26 season after the best campaign of his career, winning MVP for both the Israeli League and EuroCup, while becoming the team's scoring leader. 5. Langston Galloway, Esenler Erokspor (Turkey) 2024-25 stats (Trapani Shark, Italy): 12.8 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds per game has been a journeyman across his basketball career. He spent seven years in the NBA, which included 40 games played for the Suns during their 2020-21 season. At his best, he averaged double figures. First as rookie starter with the New York Knicks, and then with the Detroit Pistons right before the COVID-19 pandemic. At his worst, he would play a handful of games, barely averaging a basket per game. Galloway had a couple of stops in Italy, which culminated in a runner-up finish with Trapani Shark in Lega Basket Serie A, just a year after the squad's promotion. He would most likely be a back up point guard on the 2024-25 Türkiye Basketbol Ligi runner-up. But that does not take away from his progress, which includes representing Team USA at the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup. 4. Archie Goodwin, Jiangsu Dragons (China) 2024-25 stats: 20.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists per game has a solid three year stretch with the Suns. After averaging 3.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists in his rookie season, his production grew to 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game two years later. However, he only played 15 games during the 2016-17 campaign, his first away from the Suns, struggling to find stability with the Pelicans and the Knicks. That instability continued abroad, where he did not spend more than one season with a team. That is until this year, where he is set to return to the Jiangsu Dragons after being one of last season's key stars alongside former NBA players and . Goodwin is still remembered for his college days with Kentucky, playing for in The Basketball Tournament this past summer. 3. Marquese Chriss, Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin (China) 2024-25 stats: 20.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists per game started his NBA career with promise. He averaged 9.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in the Suns' 2016-17 campaign, finishing seventh in Rookie of the Year voting. After his production dissipated in Phoenix, he had a dismal 2018-19 season with the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers. But he resurged with the Golden State Warriors, averaging an NBA career-high in points, assists and rebounds during the team's injury ridden 2019-20 season. After another decrease and a failed stint with the Dallas Mavericks, Chriss joined his current team, Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin. The squad's top scorer, he led them to a 32-14 record in Chinese Basketball Association play, and a first round exit in the 2025 playoffs last season. 2. Élie Okobo, AS Monaco (France) 2024-25 stats: 11.7 points, 4.4 assists, 2.0 rebounds per game The only international player on this list, started his career in France, and was drafted 31st overall by the Suns in 2018. He played over 50 games in each of his two seasons in the Valley, and started 19 games overall. He also posted a solid 4.8 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game. While his production increased with the Long Island Nets, the Brooklyn Nets' G-League affiliate, he went back to his home country in 2021, winning an LNB Elité championship with ASVEL and participating on France's 2022 EuroBasket team. A move to AS Monaco followed, making him a starter on one of the best teams in Europe. Since joining the club, Okobo has picked up two more league championships, along with runner-up finishes in last year's Leaders Cup and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. 1.
