a veteran guard with Seattle roots and pro-basketball pedigree
Penn is a Seattle guard whose best selling point is upside and background: he has SEC-level family basketball DNA through his father, Scoonie Penn, and has already shown he can contribute in limited minutes at the college level. In Seattle’s 2022-23 season, he appeared in four games, averaging 3.3 points in 9.5 minutes, with a season-high seven points in 18 minutes, which suggests a player still developing but capable of giving energy off the bench. For a team, he fits as a depth guard with pedigree, competitiveness, and room to grow rather than as a proven high-usage producer.[1][2]
