Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal

OK, so Jordan Clarkson is a sixth man. That happens to be exactly the type of player the Suns need.

Last year, this team’s guard depth was relatively week. Cam Payne is a solid player, but he shouldn’t be the third-best guard on an NBA contender.

On the other hand, that’s exactly Clarkson’s wheelhouse. He’s perfectly suited to carry the second unit when both Chris Paul and Devin Booker need a rest and can co-exist with them for short spells as well.

Combined, the three would give the Suns, arguably, the best guard rotation in the NBA. Strengthening their depth takes on newfound importance with Paul aging. At 37, he’ll be pleased to have a more competent backup in 2022-23.
