5 reasons the Phoenix Suns were prudent in not re-signing Dario Saric

Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones made a huge splash on draft day when he traded away the 6th overall pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and moved back to 11 (where he selected Cameron Johnson) along with stretch-four Dario Saric.

Saric, then 24, is a sharp-shooter, as well as a hard-nosed defender.

Most importantly though, he is a starting-caliber power forward (having started 62.5% of games played in his career), filling one of the two biggest positions of need the franchise has lacked for the last two seasons – essentially since the trading away of Markieff Morris.
