Royce O’Neale excited to join Suns in push for title run

The Phoenix Suns bolstered their roster yesterday by acquiring Royce O’Neale, who has significant playoff experience and could bring exactly what they need off the bench.

The 6-foot-6 O’Neale was in his second season with the Brooklyn Nets before the trade, averaging 7.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game across 49 contests.

Phoenix sent away four players to Brooklyn and the Memphis Grizzlies and traded away three second-round picks and a pick swap for O’Neale and David Roddy.

“I was actually at home playing Call of Duty (when I got the news),” O’Neale said.
