Center: Dewayne Dedmon

There are many options the Suns can go here. However, should the Suns acquire the services of Dewayne Dedmon, they’d be getting a good rim protector and a solid offensive player.

Dedmon added the 3P% shot to his repertoire this year after literally attempting none in the previous three seasons in the league. He shot 35% from deep which is good considering he just started shooting 3.

The Suns were one of the worst in the league when shooting from deep. Adding the seven-footer would pay dividends. Not only with his shot but with his defense as well. He would be a fine replacement in the starting lineup for Alex Len/Tyson Chandler.

Bringing in the former USC product would also add a grown up in the locker room. A young team like this benefits from that.
