In a small move this offseason where the Phoenix Suns sent cash considerations to Philadelphia to acquire Richaun Holmes, General Manager Ryan McDonough was able to add depth to the frontcourt and a young player to their current core. He played three seasons in Philly, and while never establishing a consistent role, showed enough for Phoenix to give him a chance.
The primary appeal behind Holmes is his athleticism. In Philly, when he entered the game his hustle and constant energy gave life to the game, making him a fan favorite.
With the Phoenix Suns, his role should be the same.
