In an interesting move on Friday, the Phoenix Suns sent cash considerations to the Philadelphia 76ers for athletic big man Richaun Holmes, per Yahoo’s Shams Charania.
Holmes is a prototypical athletic NBA big off the bench, bringing both high energy athleticism when he’s on the floor. He’s also a smooth runner and very apt at moving in transition, a positive trait considering the switching and rotating that bigs must do in the modern NBA.
Offensively, Holmes is a good pick and roll big who can finish at the rim, with a field goal percentage of around 56 percent last season.
