Phoenix Suns – Buy

The Phoenix Suns have been testing out wing shooters around their talented trio of stars to see who can best compliment them on the pursuit of home court advantage in the playoffs. Langston Galloway has been given a shot. When healthy Jae Crowder has been a reliable hand. Cam Johnson has been less consistent than a playoff contender would like but he is a solid hand.

All that being said a team like Phoenix cannot have too many shooters on the receiving end of open looks created by slick Chris Paul passes and the gravitational force of Devin Booker. For a team so dependent on half-court offense adding additional shooting is essential to any sort of playoff success.

Wayne Ellington was a name suggested earlier and if the Philadelphia 76ers are not the team to bring him in the Suns should be making the call. J.J. Reddick makes sense alongside his former LA Clipper teammate Chris Paul. Patty Mills could be available and would be the perfect chemistry guy off the bench for this team.

The Suns are very close to pushing open the door into a top-four seed in the postseason and finalizing their roster will go a long way. Now is the time to make it happen.
