New additions: PG Tyus Jones, PG Monte Morris, C Mason Plumlee, HC Mike Budenholzer

Signing veteran forward Tyus Jones is the best deal of the entire NBA offseason and helps fix a lot of the issues that plagued the Phoenix Suns offense last year.

  • 14th in assist percentage (63.7 percent)
  • 25th in turnover percentage (15.0 percent)
  • 24th in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.82)

For a team with three of the best forwards in the world in Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradey Beal, those numbers should have been higher and now they will be with the addition of Jones and Monte Morris.

Jones had a historically efficient season last year with the Washington Wizards, becoming the first player in the NBA to ever record an assist percentage higher than 34 percent while posting a turnover rate of less than nine percent. Jones’ 7.3 assists per game ranked 12th in the league, while his 1.0 turnovers per game tied for 203rd.

Morris recorded just seven turnovers in 33 games between the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves, compared to 69 total assists.

New head coach Mike Budenholzer consistently led some of the NBA’s best offenses during his five seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, with scoring offenses ranking 4th, 8th, 6th, 7th and 12th.

Durant, Booker and Beal still form an offensive three-piece monster, and role players like Grayson Allen, Jusuf Nurkić and Royce O’Neale can all score at a high level and/or fit the bill.

Damion Lee is also back from a one-year injury and has made 44.5 percent of his three-pointers for the Suns during the 2022-23 season.

This may not be the best defensive group, but with Jones and Budenholzer in the mix, it will be one of the best scoring attacks in the league.
