The Suns are rounding out their roster fast, as they have already signed six players. The 6-foot-8 Watanabe has been linked to the Suns for a long time and his shooting will greatly help them off the bench.
Watanabe shot 44% on threes last season and could be a good scoring option around the Suns’ big three.
He will team up with Kevin Durant once again, his teammate on the Nets.
