Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs seem to be a match made in heaven. Spurs got the #1, and the #1 was a no-brainer. A guy that could follow in his footsteps in Dennis Smith Jr.The NBA Draft was easy. But Phoenix still has to consider some type of supplementary ball-handlers, and Milton could essentially be the “third guard.”įormer Suns guard Jevon Carter is worth a brief mention but the concept behind this section is basically what happened for him with the Milwaukee Bucks last year and he should get a solid contract coming from somewhere. He’s coming from a star-heavy situation that didn’t go great for him, so perhaps a different type of roster is a better spot.

Milton is a big guard who can score and initiate. On that front, the Philadelphia 76ers moved Shake Milton all over the place, from starter to bench constant through a roster with three great guards. He feels too expensive but won’t find a better situation as a floor-spacing guard that wouldn’t have to be on the ball. On top of that, Curry packs an underrated scoring punch and can playmake a tad as well. Big statement, eh? There have been 377 players to take at least 1,500 3s and Curry’s 43.5% ranks fifth all time, per Stathead. Speaking of offense, Seth Curry is one of the most efficient 3-point shooters in the association’s history. Gordon’s still one of the NBA’s better shooters, has some juice left to attack the basket and showed in the playoffs he has a desire to defend physically on the ball. If the Suns want to go with even more offensive firepower in the guard depth, Eric Gordon’s $20.9 million is non-guaranteed next year and he’s worth mentioning in case the Los Angeles Clippers are unable to renegotiate a deal off of that this week. But Chicago outscored teams by 10.6 points per 100 possessions when Beverley was on the bench in those games, according to NBA Stats. He seemed to help turn a tide, going 13-9 in his appearances, and getting some credit in doing so. The defense and “winning player” attributes speak for themselves across his NBA career. In a similar shoutout but requiring a separation into the “ Hey You Broke The Face Of The Franchise’s Nose During One Of The Most Important Moments Of His Life And Would He Be Chill With You As A Teammate?” Tier, it’s Patrick Beverley. He took 53% of his shots from around the basket (26%) or floater territory (27%), per Cleaning the Glass. And when he’s on it, Schroder gets to the rim, a skill the Suns need to keep addressing. With his time playing for Frank Vogel in L.A., Schroder would be a tidy defensive fit and has adapted well to more of an off-ball role.

‘Please Come Take A Discount To Win And Play A Lot*’ Tierĭennis Schroder is perhaps the easiest dot to connect from the entire free agent class. We will land somewhere in the middle, showcasing both the players that almost certainly will go for the veteran’s minimum and targets who could come to Phoenix in search of a title while resetting their own value ahead of next summer.įirst up is guards, where the Suns will need some mix of floor generals and off-ball, defensive-minded names to go with Beal and Booker (and probably Cam Payne). Aim too high and all the Suns fans reading this will expect too much, submitting time off for the parade 11 months in advance. Aim too low and all the Suns fans reading this will end it melting into a puddle of despair.

Realistically, it’s hard to be, erm, realistic about free agency, given the guessing that has to be done about who will be available at what price ranges. It would be on a contending team that has an excellent chance to win a championship with two superstars who are renowned for how easy they are to play alongside. On top of that, the Suns have re-established themselves in the last three years as one of the league’s marquee franchises with a new practice facility in an area people want to live.
