The Suns are getting unique skill sets all around the bench in terms of athleticism, defense, three-point shooting, and rim protection. Jones went on to talk about each individual and the impact they will have on the team.
“Keita’s combination of length, defensive versatility and shooting is extremely valuable to our team. Drew brings intensity, toughness and an exceptional combination of skill and athleticism for a player of his size. Chimezie possesses infectious energy and provides us with great athleticism at the forward/center position; his versatility makes him unique. Yuta has proven to be one of the best three-point shooters in the league and has the size and ability to defend multiple positions.”

The new-look Suns are hoping to make some noise this season with the new depth as well as their acquisition of Bradley Beal. We’ll see if they can finally capture that hope of winning a championship.
