In case of emergency: the Phoenix Suns need a veteran backup PG

While no one expects the Phoenix Suns to make a playoff push this coming season, the expectation that this roster might finally be on the verge of regular competition for a playoff spot beginning as soon as 2021 means that new General Manager James Jones needs to make sure that every position is filled to the best of his capacity, and that there is depth at every level.

The most important position needing depth at the moment is at point guard, because even though new Head Coach Monty Williams presumably knows how to deal with emergencies (and maybe can even continue to coach up Devin Booker about the position), now that the franchise is leaning so heavily on Ricky Rubio, if he goes down for any extended amount of time, who do they really have to start in his stead?
