Former Suns great Paul Westphal headlines '19 Basketball Hall of Fame class

Paul Westphal's fingerprints are all over the history of the Phoenix Suns.

Now, he will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Acquired in a 1975 trade with Boston, Westphal’s first season with the Suns was, to say the least, memorable – 20.5 points per game in the franchise’s first trip to the NBA Finals.

Westphal, who was elected as a player, was announced Saturday as one of the 12 honorees in the 2019 class of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
