Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal 

With that said, Bey’s shooting limitations aren’t ideal for the Suns, either. Frankly, they’re probably not ideal for any team.

Still, let’s focus on Bey’s strengths. He’s got plenty of them. He can create his own shot, and his athleticism makes him a plus on defense and transition. Make no mistake: this is a good player. 

Perhaps the Suns could have him run their second unit. As constructed, they don’t have a reliable option to do so. Bey could make for an optimal sixth man for this club. 

That’ll be especially valuable when Cam Johnson returns. Between him, Bey, and Mikal Bridges, the Suns would have one of the best wing rotations in the NBA.
