On July 27, 2024, the Phoenix Suns signed Tyus Jones to a one-year veteran minimum deal. Tyus was the best remaining unsigned free agent, and many thought he would receive a more lucrative deal. In comes the Suns and the organization lands Tyus for a vet minimum!
Now that Tyus is with the team, it’s time to ponder the question: Should he be the 5th starter?
After signing with the Suns, Tyus told ESPN, “The chance to play for the Suns made the most sense on a lot of levels.” He went on to say, “Coach (Mike Budenholzer) showed me how I can significantly impact a team that has a real opportunity to challenge for an NBA title as their starting point guard.
