Phoenix Suns 2015-16 Reports Cards: Mirza Teletovic was rare bright spot

This season's Suns didn't feature many success stories, but Mirza Teletovic was certainly one of them.

The search for a 3-point shooting big man to spread the floor led the Suns to sign Anthony Tolliver and draft Alec Brown after Channing Frye departed via free agency in 2014. Tolliver washed out, Brown isn't ready yet, so the search continued into last summer.

Finally, the answer fell into their laps when the Brooklyn Nets released Bosnian sharpshooter Mirza Teletovic in July. Teletovic signed with the Suns, then went on to hit more 3-pointers in a season than any NBA bench player ever had.
