‘A true teammate�: Shaped by his mother’s influence, Oso Ighodaro brings selfless spirit to Phoenix Suns

Oso Ighodaro

Phoenix Suns draft pick Oso Ighodaro, in his introductory press conference Tuesday at Player 15 Group headquarters, called himself “a good teammate, good locker room guy.�

In his four years at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Oso Ighodaro didn’t need to attend the mandatory tutoring program for basketball players underperforming academically � yet he did. Instead of basking in pride with one of the highest grade point averages on the basketball team and utilizing the potential free time to improve his game, the former four-star prospect assisted teammates struggling in the classroom.

Four years later, Phoenix Suns general manager James Jones introduced Ighodaro as the 40th selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, along with their first-round pick Ryan Dunn, at the Player 15 Group campus Tuesday.
