Is this a good move by the Suns? I have a hard time seeing the value for them, but maybe I'm just not connecting the dots? (That said, they do have a couple of nice young pieces; maybe Rubio is a good fit?)
The Suns have needed a point guard since Eric Bledsoe went to the Bucks several years ago. They have lots of point guards on the roster but none of them were a good match with Booker and Ayton.
Rubio brings experience, pass first point guard, good steals, team player.
Last season, the Suns' point guard rotation at the beginning of last season was Isaiah Canaan, Jamal Crawford, Elie Okobo and De'Anthony Melton.
This season, the Suns' point guard rotation will be Ricky Rubio, Tyler Johnson and Ty Jerome. That's an upgrade.
Right now with this signing they have Rubio, Booker, Kelly Oubre Jr, Dario Saric and Deandre Ayton for the starting lineup. Their bench was okay but with some of the draft day moves they got a bit more experience and depth.
