Phoenix Suns: 5 perfect fits at point guard

#5 Spencer Dinwiddie – Brooklyn Nets (6-6, 200 lbs, 25 years old)

2017-18 Stats : 39 percent from the field, 33 percent from three (1.8 makes per game), 81 percent on free throws; 12.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 0.9 steals in 28.8 minutes per game.

Dinwiddie isn’t the most attractive name, but he’d no doubt be a good fit. Coming off a breakout year, he proved himself last season. He posted career highs across the board – field goals made and attempted, three pointers made and attempted, points, assists, rebounds and steals.

He’s an excellent pick and roll ball handler and isolation scorer. He won the 2018 All Star Skills Challenge. His 4.2 assist to turnover ratio placed him first among starters who played at least 50 games.

The last four teams remaining in the playoffs were the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. His in season stats versus those final four teams showed him leaping to another level against higher competition.

His field goal and three point accuracy went from 39 percent and 33 percent to 45 percent and 37 percent respectively. He netted 0.5 more threes per game, and he averaged 15 points, 7.5 assists and 1 steal per game against those four franchises. His assist to turnover ratio even took a jump up to a 4.4 ratio.

He’s ready to make a difference, so why not in Phoenix? If the Nets are sold on DeAngelo Russell and making him a big offer, a deal of Troy Daniels, a 1st round pick via Milwaukee, and one of the Suns second round picks should be enough.
