The stretch-five big man was an important piece of that 2021 NBA Finals squad. His mix of shooting, post-game, and overall offense will be a nice addition to the newly hired <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-phoenix-hiring-mike-budenholzer-to-8-figure-annual-contract-right-after-firing-frank-vogel">Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer’s</a> offense scheme.</p><p>Kaminsky had quite a nice stretch with Phoenix. He averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kaminfr01.html" rel="noopener">8.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and shot 34.4% from three</a> during his time in Phoenix. He brought a nice change of pace when former center Deandre Ayton was off the floor. Kaminsky allowed the offense to stretch to the perimeter, allowing guards Chris Paul and Devin Booker to utilize the extra space.</p><p>Budenholzer is notorious for implementing spacing into his lineups. He urged Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez to focus solely on his three-point shot. As a result, he was one of the best centers in the league due to his floor spacing and shot-blocking ability. Although Kaminsky isn’t a shot blocker or the best defender, he can provide legitimate offense to his team. After all, Kaminsky helped his alma mater, the Wisconsin Badgers make it to the 2015 NCAA Men’s Championship Game.</p><h2><b>How can Frank Kaminsky fit in with the Suns?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Frank-Kaminsky-III-reunited-with-the-Suns.jpg"><figcaption>© Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Now, Kaminsky is returning to a new squad. Booker remains, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kevin-durant-traded-by-brooklyn-to-suns">Suns added superstar forward Kevin Durant</a>. Even though the past few seasons with Durant and Booker haven’t been successful, the new roster change could prove beneficial. As mentioned earlier, Budenholzer loves his bigs who stretch the floor.</p><p>Another example could be Buck forward Bobby Portis Jr. In that 2021 series, Portis Jr. proved to be the X-factor in that series. His shooting unlocked driving lanes and forced the defense into a guessing game.</p><p>While Kaminsky isn’t on the shooting level of Portis or Lopez, he still presents as a legitimate threat from beyond the arc. Kaminsky is a microwave from three. He even made <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kaminfr01/gamelog/2021" rel="noopener">five-of-six in only 15 minutes of play</a> against the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2021 season. Kaminsky can play a similar role he did with Ayton, as he could to Jusuf Nurkic.</p><p>Adding a player with NBA Finals experience can be the deciding factor for the Suns. As the roster continues to fill out, it’ll be worth monitoring if Budenholzer gives Kaminsky significant minutes in the regular season. The Suns will take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the first game of the NBA season, with championship aspirations in mind.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He only played 36 games between the two teams and averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kaminfr01.html" rel="noopener">career lows</a> in minutes, points, and rebounds per game.</p><p>While the 2015 No. 9 overall pick’s NBA career was winding down, his value in Europe as a stretch big is still high, which is why he signed with Partizan Belgrade, one of the best and most accomplished teams on the continent.</p><p>The Partizan Belgrade squad Kaminsky is joining is a mix of Serbian players and Americans, all of whom have big-time US college or NBA experience as well. The ex-pats on the roster include PJ Dozier (four seasons in NBA/ G League), Kevin Punter (Tennessee), Zach LeDay (South Florida, Virginia Tech), and James Nunnally (four seasons in NBA/ G League).</p><p>Partizan Belgrade has also berthed several NBA stars and draft picks, including Vlade Divac, Nenad Krstic, Nikola Pekovic, Bogdan Bogdanović, Jan Vesely, and 2023 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-2023-nba-draft-grades-every-pick" rel="noopener">Washington Wizards second-round pick</a> Tristan Vukcevic.</p><p>Last season, Frank Kaminsky’s new team won the Adriatic League championship and made the quarterfinals of the Euroleague. That team was led by 2014 NBA lottery pick Dante Exum, who played so well that he earned a new NBA contract for next season with the Dallas Mavericks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In his eight-year NBA career, Kaminsky has played for the Charlotte Hornets, Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks, and the Houston Rockets. In fact, it seems like Kaminsky could be taking his talents to the Euroleague in the near future, with Maccabi Tel Aviv <a href="https://www.eurohoops.net/en/euroleague/1529988/maccabi-tel-aviv-frank-kaminsky-euroleague/" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> interested in his services, per eurohoops.net. But while Kaminsky’s NBA career looks bleak, his personal life could be said otherwise. In fact, Kaminsky definitely had an offseason filled with love. For this piece, let’s get to know more about Frank Kaminsky’s wife Ashley Brewer.</p><h2>Frank Kaminsky’s wife Ashley Brewer</h2><p>Ashley Brewer was born on December 13, 1991 in Phoenix, Arizona. She attended Chaparral High School. Here, Brewer had a solid amateur swimming career. For her efforts, Brewer garnered 12 prep All-American distinctions and was the 2009 Arizona 4A state champion in the 100y backstroke. She would lead Chaparral to a pair of state championships. Furthermore, Brewer <a href="https://usctrojans.com/sports/womens-swimming-and-diving/roster/ashley-brewer/3401" rel="noopener">was also awarded</a> the 2010 Female Athlete of the Year, according to usctrojans.com.</p><p>After graduating from high school, Brewer studied at the University of Texas. For University of Texas, Brewer made the Finals in the Big 12 Championships for the 100y and the 200y back. In addition to this, the Chaparral standout also qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100m back, where she ranked 83rd.</p><p>Two years after studying in University of Texas, Brewer transferred to the University of Southern California, where she continued her college swimming career.</p><h2>Career as a Sports Anchor</h2><p>After completing university studies at USC, Brewer would embark on a career as a sports anchor. First, she worked as a college football reporter for Cox 7. At the same time, she was also a fixture in KGUN-9.</p><p>With more experiences under her belt, Brewer would work for ABC. She served as a host for ABC7. Here, she was part of the team that covered the Los Angeles Dodgers at the 2020 World Series and the Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LVI. In addition to this, Brewer also juggled her time by hosting ABC’s The Bachelor Winter Games.</p><p>After a solid stint with ABC, Brewer was then recruited by ESPN. Here, she worked as a host for The Replay. Apart from The Replay, Brewer also headlined other ESPN programs including SportsNation and ESPN Radio’s GameNight.</p><p>Brewer last worked for ESPN’s SportsCenter, where she anchored for two years. Unfortunately, the former USC standout swimmer was one of the <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/former-badgers-star-frank-kaminsky-former-espn-anchor-ashley-brewer-get-married-in-mexico-025359494.html" rel="noopener">known personnel laid off</a> by ESPN, according to Yahoo Sports. Coincidentally, the lay off came just around one week before her wedding.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">I am so grateful for my time at ESPN and the opportunity to host Sportscenter. I learned and grew so much as a broadcaster and person. I will really miss all of the wonderful friends I made along the way.<br>I know God has a plan for my life and I look forward to what’s next.</p><p>— Ashley Brewer (@ashbrewkaminsky) <a href="https://twitter.com/ashbrewkaminsky/status/1674836732179804161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2>Marrying Frank Kaminsky</h2><p>Kaminsky and Brewer <a href="https://people.com/houston-rockets-frank-kaminsky-marries-espn-sportscenter-anchor-ashley-brewer-in-beach-ceremony-7557487">reportedly</a> met back in 2017, per People. After seeing Brewer on ABC7, Kaminsky was in awe of her beauty and wanted to meet her in person. After exchanging DMs, Kaminsky and Brewer officially met after the Charlotte Hornets took on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.</p><blockquote>In an interview, Kaminsky described the event, “She was so beautiful I had to try and find a way to meet her. Just so happened that she was in New York visiting a friend the same time as me when I was out there on a road trip to play the Knicks. I asked her to get dinner and we instantly had a connection.”</blockquote><p>After a few years of bonding together as friends, Kaminsky and Brewer’s friendship would eventually blossom into romance. The 7’0 center eventually confessed his feelings for the former ESPN Sports Anchor. And in 2022, the NBA center popped the question while the couple was spending time together at Maui, Hawaii.</p><p>Roughly a year after their engagement, Kaminsky and Brewer eventually shared their vows together after they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-player-frank-kaminsky-ties-knot-with-sportscaster-ashley-brewer" rel="noopener">held a wedding ceremony</a> in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.</p><blockquote>After marrying the 7’0 NBA center, Brewer had only good things to say about marrying him, “We started our relationship as friends, and it’s only grown stronger and more fun every day. We both value our faith and the commitment of marriage, I couldn’t be more grateful to start a life with someone who shares the same values and has the same goals for a family that I have.”</blockquote><p>On the other hand, Kaminsky certainly feels the same way about marrying Brewer.</p><blockquote>The former Rockets center said, “Ashley is truly the most amazing woman I have ever met. She is so kind to everyone she meets, works so hard to be successful in her career, she always stands up for what she believes in and one day will be such an amazing mother. Each and every day with her is special, and I am so lucky I get to spend the rest of my life with her.”</blockquote><p>Now married, the couple will be spending their honeymoon in Bora Bora. Although the future of their respective careers have taken an uncertain turn, their marriage certainly opens a new promising chapter in their lives.</p><p>Nevertheless, this is all the information that we have on Frank Kaminsky’s wife Ashley Brewer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ashley Brewer walked down the aisle to Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years,” played by a string and piano band. After meeting each other at the altar, they thanked their guests. “We turned to face them while our pastor shared our gratitude for the roles they have played in our lives, from our past to our future,” the couple <a href="https://people.com/houston-rockets-frank-kaminsky-marries-espn-sportscenter-anchor-ashley-brewer-in-beach-ceremony-7557487" rel="noopener">told People</a>.</p><p>Instead of exchanging vows, Frank Kaminsky and Brewer shared them privately before their ceremony. “We wanted to keep that moment private and intimate,” said Brewer.</p><p>As for Brewer’s dress, she said: “I wanted something classic and timeless that I could look back at when I’m 80 years old and still absolutely love.

It wasn’t until 2021 that Frank admitted he wanted to be more than friends and here we are, so in love and married!”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Chris Paul fared much better in that comfort zone and overall, but still fell short of the table-setting dominance that could’ve propelled the Suns to a win over the Blazers all by itself.</p><p>Who caused the most problems for Portland in a 119-109 loss to Phoenix, its <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-chauncey-billups-is-happy-with-blazers-progress-after-sixth-straight-road-loss/">sixth consecutive road defeat</a> to start the regular season? None other than Frank Kaminsky, pressed into extended action on Wednesday due to the absence of DeAndre Ayton. The journeyman big answered the call with perhaps the game he’s ever played in the NBA, coming off the bench behind JaVale McGee to frustrate the Blazers en route to a career-high 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting.</p><p>Portland just had no answer for Kaminsky, even while toggling defensive coverages throughout the game.</p><p>He trailed the play for a center three-pointer when Jusuf Nurkic, stuck to the paint, left him alone beyond the arc. The consensus 2015 National College Player of the Year abused the Blazers when they switched a small onto him, harking back to his days at Wisconsin as low-post scoring and playmaking hub. After Portland amped up the pressure, reverting back to its more aggressive base defensive scheme, Kaminsky found space to score on the roll.</p><p>Damian Lillard didn’t seem surprised by Kaminsky’s outburst after the game. With the Blazers so focused on limiting Booker and Paul, the Suns’ third-string center had ample opportunity to produce against a defense that made him an afterthought.</p><p>“You still gotta have respect for everybody on an NBA team, especially guys that are in the rotation,” Lillard said of Kaminsky. “You have to know that maybe their job isn’t to dominate games and all those things, but they’re there for a reason. They can play. When you look at guys like that you can’t let them play to their strengths. You can’t just disrespect them.”</p><p>Chauncey Billups went a step further. Calling Kaminsky “another one on the list” of role players recently going off on Portland, the rookie head coach admitted he wasn’t a big part of the pre-game scouting report.</p><p>“I just felt like even when we switched, we would be okay guarding him down low. He proved me wrong,” Billups said. “He proved me wrong. Gotta give hime credit. He took advantage of the matchups down there.”</p><p>One career night from an opposing player on a minimum contract isn’t cause for lasting concern all by itself. But the way Kaminsky exploited the various coverages the Blazers threw at him indeed speaks to a broader discussion about their defensive ceiling versus certain matchups, a problem exacerbated by the playoff microscope.</p><p>Amid a chaotic 5-7 start, though, the more pressing concern for Portland right now is being good enough to get to the postseason at all.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 27-year old revealed he asked the 2018 no. 1 overall pick if he could borrow the extravagant piece of jewelry before hopping on the virtual press conference. Kaminsky admitted he’s never put on something that expensive in his life before.</p><p>Listen to the hilarious exchange between Frank the Tank and the rest of the Suns reporters, <a href="https://twitter.com/DuaneRankin/status/1365514841000091648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1365514841000091648%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1020191action%3Dedit" rel="noopener">via Duane Rankin of AZ Central:</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Q: Are you wearing DA's chain right now? <a href="https://twitter.com/Cody_Cunningham?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Cody_Cunningham</a>.</p><p>Laughter ensued.</p><p>A: I was waiting for somebody to ask." <a href="https://twitter.com/FSKPart3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@FSKPart3</a>.</p><p>Frank Kaminsky III rockin' Deandre Ayton's chain after <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Suns?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#Suns</a> 106-97 win at Chicago.</p><p>"I'm just trying to keep it clean until I give it back to him." <a href="https://t.co/MzyyZMlIhy" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/MzyyZMlIhy</a></p><p>— Duane Rankin (@DuaneRankin) <a href="https://twitter.com/DuaneRankin/status/1365514841000091648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 27, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>I mean, what are friends for, right? The custom-made chain reportedly cost Ayton $100,000. With that price tag, the former Arizona star must have a ton of confidence in Kaminsky to take care of his beloved ornament. Hopefully, the chain made it back to Ayton sparkling clean as Kaminsky promised during the Suns press conference.</p><p>Nonetheless, Ayton probably thought the former Wisconsin standout deserved to look good as he faced the media. Kaminsky contributed well off the bench to help Phoenix take care of the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. In just 13 minutes, Kaminsky tallied 15 points and made 7-of-13 from the field in the 106-97 victory over the Bulls. Meanwhile, Ayton notched 22 points and seven rebounds in the 9-point win.</p><p>Ayton, Kaminsky, and the Suns certainly have a lot to smile about, especially with the way their season has been going so far. They currently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/phoenix-suns/records" rel="noopener">hold the no. 4 spot in the Western Conference standings</a> with a 21-11 mark. Led by All-Stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul, the Suns look poised to finally end their 10-year playoff drought.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
