The Suns declined to execute the third-year option ($4.7 million) on a Jaylen Smith rookie contract, which will become a full free agent in the summer of 2022.
Jaylen Smith, the No. 10 pick picked by the Suns in 2020 and 2.08 meters tall, played just 156 minutes in the 2020-21 season, with 12.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per 36 minutes, shooting just 44 percent from the field.
