It makes sense that John Wall has been linked to the Phoenix Suns. The All-Star point guard is in a shaky situation with the Washington Wizards, and the Suns are in dire need of a point guard with arguably the league’s most impatient owner. On the surface, it makes perfect sense.
But a deeper look shows Wall wouldn’t be such a good fit in Phoenix. He’s now in his ninth season with Washington, and just as the team was supposed to finally make a jump last season, they fell flat. Some expected a bounce back season for the Wizards, but so far they’ve been even worse this year, starting 1-6 despite having multiple All-Stars.
