Phoenix Suns add Patric Young, Josh Harrellson to NBA Summer League team

The Suns' work on filling out next season's frontcourt will include taking a summer team look at former Florida center Patric Young and NBA veteran Josh Harrellson.

The Suns will pursue free agent big men next month to supplement a frontline that has Alex Len, Markieff Morris and Jon Leuer under contract for next season but Young and Harrellson could turn their Suns' summer team play into a training camp invitation.

Young, 23, went undrafted out of Florida last year and played for Galatasaray in Turkey, averaging 8.7 points and 6.4 rebounds with 60 percent shooting. The brawny 6-foot-10, 247-pound power forward/center is best known for his tough interior defense, including pick-and-roll coverage. He has a 7-2 wingspan but is dynamic for his size with a 37 1/2-inch vertical leap.

Young was a four-year player at Florida, putting up similar results for his last three years. He averaged 11.0 points and 6.2 rebounds as a senior. He averaged 7.4 points and 8.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game for New Orleans' summer league team last year and made the Pelicans' opening night roster. He was waived after a month of regular season without making a NBA appearance.

Harrellson, 26, played parts of three NBA seasons for New York (39 games in 2011-12), Miami (six games in 2012-13) and Detroit (32 games in 2013-14). The 6-foot-10, 275-pound center from Kentucky started last season in China for 19 games and then played in Puerto Rico.

Harrellson, a No. 45 pick in 2011, offers shooting and rebounding ability from a high-effort big man. In his last NBA season, he averaged 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per game with 39 percent 3-point shooting (12 for 31) for Detroit. Harrellson was the Pistons' backup center until a knee injury.

The Suns' summer league team will play NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas on July 11, 12 and 14 before a 24-team tournament with a two-game minimum. First-round pick Devin Booker will be part of that team, which will be coached by new player development coach Nate Bjorkgren, last season's Suns' D-League affiliate head coach.
