The Phoenix Suns dumped Tyus Jones after a disastrous lone season, and the gamble was immediately proven right by the veteran guard. They enter the season without a true point guard on their roster, but the Suns were happy to get rid of Jones. He joined the Magic in free agency and went scoreless in a disastrous opening night performance against the Heat.
Jones averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 26.8 minutes per game for the Suns. He shot 44.8 percent from the field and 41.4 percent on his threes. Those are strong numbers, but he was eventually benched amid the team’s struggles.
