Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal 

By contrast, the Suns already have such frontcourt flexibility. In fact, they may have too much – that’s why Crowder wants out in the first place.  

Allegedly, the organization told him that he’d be losing his starting spot to Cam Johnson. Of course, that raises a question: would he be assured one in Phoenix? 

That’s the Hawks’ problem. Meanwhile, the Suns’ is backcourt depth. After Chris Paul and Devin Booker, the guards on this roster are fairly uninspiring. Bogdanovic would be a significant upgrade. 

After all, Bogdanovic can create shots out of thin air. He’s not always efficient, but defenses always have to account for him. In that sense, he seems like a tailor-made sixth man. In fact, that’s exactly how the Suns would be using him.
