For the 2023-24 NBA season, the Phoenix Suns seem to be one of the most star-studded teams in the entire league. They have stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton. They recently added Bradley Beal, which is surely going to trouble opposing defenses. However, the team appears to be missing a key factor: a point guard.
Phoenix Suns Possible Strategy
The majority of the money available for spending (over $162 million) is already allocated to the other players for the upcoming season. Players such as George Hill, Ish Smith, and Goran Dragic, who don’t require significant expenses, could be hired by Phoenix Suns to help strengthen their team.
Up to now, the only listed point guard on the Suns’ roster is Jordan Goodwin. However, considering Goodwin’s performance in the last game, it appears that the Suns will definitely need to explore other options.
Now, let’s consider a few potential players whom they might consider signing to strengthen their team.
1. George Hill
George Hill has 15 years of experience in the league and has been a part of teams that performed well in the playoffs. Hill was highly proficient at making three-point shots (46%) in the 2019-20 season and earned only $4 million last year. He could be a suitable fit as a starter for the team.
2. Goran Dragic
Goran Dragic began his NBA career with the Phoenix Suns in 2008. He spent most of the time on the bench for the first two and a half seasons. Later, he played for multiple teams. Dragic excelled with the Miami Heat, becoming an all-star, and later teamed up with Kevin Durant on the Brooklyn Nets.
3. Ish Smith
Smith has played for an NBA-record 13 different teams, which includes the Phoenix Suns (in the year 2013-14). He possesses a good amount of experience in the game. Additionally, he earned a ring this past season with the Denver Nuggets.
