The Phoenix Suns could use all the help they can get at the forward position in the wake of the Cam Johnson injury.
They were already fairly thin on wing/forward depth due to Jae Crowder’s decision to step away from the team. Now, they’re going to be relying heavily on the likes of Torrey Craig, Damion Lee, and Josh Okogie to fill that void.
While I’m not a huge Melo guy, there are plenty of reasons he makes sense as a stopgap during this patch of the season where the team could use a boost.
