All-American, ex-Villanova Scottie Reynolds impressed enough during his three summer league games to score an invite to the Suns training camp. From azcentral.com:
Reynolds averaged 10.3 points and 4.7 assists in the Suns’ final three games of summer-league play after missing the first two with an Achilles injury. His worst game came Thursday in Phoenix’s 86-76 wrap-up loss to the Golden State Warriors, contributing only seven points and two assists in 26 minutes.
“I’m not 100 percent,” Reynolds said of his injury, “but my first two games back on the court I played well. This afternoon I didn’t play so well.”
Reynolds likely is competing with Zabian Dowdell for the third point-guard spot behind Steve Nash and Goran Dragic, if the Suns even decide to keep that many. Dowdell averaged 10 points and 3.8 assists in five games.

Reynolds > Dowdell
I wanted the Suns to offer a training camp invite to Dowdell and commented “Why haven’t we signed this kid yet? He played well last year too.”
However, even with a sore Achilles, Reynolds looked to be a.) a way better fit for the Suns system with his explosiveness and knack for scoring the ball, and b.) a player with a higher upside than Zabian.
I will give Dowdell this: He’s got a way cooler name. Zabian. Nice.
