Bazley provides great rim protection and defense to go along with great shooting from the perimeter. His minutes declined as he’s averaging 5.4 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 0.9 APG to go along with 44% from the floor and 40% from three. He’s only 22 years old and his career year was in 2020 when he averaged 13.7 PPG and 7.2 RPG in 31 minutes.
Saric has been with the Suns for the past 4 years and has had great memories with the team. He ended up winning a western conference final with the team to go along with averaging 8.9 PPG and shooting 45% from the floor and 36% from three.
There are still 45 minutes until the deadline. Let’s see if the Suns will make any last-minute moves ahead of the deadline.
