The Phoenix Suns shot a league-worst 32.9% from beyond the arc in 2018-19, and yet now with the loss of Troy Daniels to the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency, preceded by the trade of T.J. Warren to the Indiana Pacers on draft night, the team’s top-two 3-point shooters from last season are gone.
How are they supposed to improve their team shooting again?
Admittedly, adding a legitimate distributor at point guard in Ricky Rubio is going to open up a lot more clean looks for shooters like Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Kelly Oubre (presuming he re-signs), Josh Jackson (presuming he returns, although it’s not like he can hit them when open anyway), and incomers Dario Saric, Aron Baynes, and Cameron Johnson.
