Alex Telles is a Canadian professional basketball player who has made significant contributions to the game. Born on June 15, 1992, he was originally from Ottawa, Ontario and began his career with the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). However, it wasn't until he transferred to the Toronto Maple Leafs that he gained recognition as one of the best wing players in the league.

Telles' journey to becoming a top-tier wing player started early. He attended the University of Western Ontario, where he played for the Waterloo Hawks. His talent and skill earned him a spot on the Canada Under-18 national team, which included appearances at the 2010 FIBA Under-20 World Championship and the 2011 FIBA Under-17 World Championship. These experiences helped to solidify Telles' reputation as a talented wing player.

After graduating from university, Telles continued to develop his skills by playing for various clubs in Canada and Europe. He signed with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL in 2014 and quickly established himself as one of the league's most valuable wings. In just two seasons with the Senators, Telles averaged over 16 points per game and led the team to their first playoff appearance since 2007.

However, it wasn't always easy for Telles to succeed in the NHL. The competitive nature of the sport often put pressure on young players to perform at a high level, and it was no different for Telles. Despite these challenges, he remained committed to his craft and continued to improve his skills.

In 2016, Telles was selected in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. Despite being drafted by a team with a strong roster depth, Telles had a strong season and was named to the All-Rookie First Team. This performance set him apart and contributed to his success in the NBA.

Since joining the Suns, Telles has become a key member of the team and has been instrumental in helping them reach the playoffs. He has also won several accolades throughout his career, including being named to the All-NHL Second Team three times and winning the FIBA Asia Cup MVP award in 2018.

Telles' journey to becoming a top-tier wing player has been marked by both hard work and determination. He has shown that with dedication and perseverance, anyone can achieve greatness in the world of basketball.
