Point guard Tyus Jones and the Phoenix Suns have agreed to a one-year deal. Jones will sign with Phoenix for the veteran minimum for next season.
Jones told ESPN that he and his agent considered multiple sign-and-trade opportunities. In the end, Jones felt that signing with the Suns was the best way to rebuild his value before going back onto the free agent market next summer.
As a first-time starter last season, Jones averaged career-highs nearly across the board for the Washington Wizards. Jones averaged 12.0 points on 49/41/80 shooting splits and 7.3 assists in 66 games.
After having point guard be an issue for the entirety of last season, Phoenix addressed the position this summer. The Suns have added Jones and Monte Morris to bring in two veterans for depth at the lead ballhandler position.
