Playoff experience quite high on James Jones’ criteria for roster building

Since James Jones took over the Phoenix Suns less than a year ago, he promised to acquire a number of young veterans who fit into the 23-29 year old age range. He wanted guys with NBA experience, who were just about to enter or in the middle of their prime.

The roster Jones inherited was mostly either over-32 or under-24, with the fewest number of minutes played by players aged 24-29 in the entire NBA last year.

Since then, has acquired eleven new players, seven of them being NBA veterans signed on the free agent market or acquired via trade.
