A giant name in the basketball world took part in Thursday's workouts, or at least the last name.

William Pippen, nephew of superstar Scottie Pippen, joined Suns players and hopefuls for half-court workouts and full-court scrimmages.

Pippen, who resembles his famous uncle, "is long and athletic," Johnson said. "He doesn't shoot well, but he has a good feel for what's going on." Pippen played in college at Middle Tennessee State.
