After an eventful Friday morning, the Suns are walking away with Richaun Holmes as their new big man. He’s a spark plug off the bench who runs the floor and finishes well at the rim. He’s a walking highlight reel, but he’s not a good shooter or defender, which hurts his ability to play for long stretches.
Earlier in the day, the Suns traded Jared Dudley and a top 35 protected second round pick to Brooklyn in exchange for about-to-be-bought-out Darrell Arthur. With the cap space they saved in the deal, they brought in Holmes in exchange for cash considerations sent to Philadelphia.
