One of the Phoenix Suns’ least discussed acquisitions this offseason has been Dario Saric, a 25-year-old power forward from Croatia who just finished his third NBA season after winning a number of European league awards in his early professional career.
Saric has averaged 12.7 points (36 percent on threes), 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 240 games for Philadelphia and Minnesota, starting 150 of those contests.
Hmmm. Power forward. Early in his career. Starting caliber. Healthy. Stretches the floor. And he is still just scratching the surface.
