Follow usFree agent Tyus Jones, the highest-rated remaining guard, has agreed on a 1-year, 3.3 million dollar contract with the Phoenix Suns.
Tyus is a huge addition for Phoenix, who struggled without a true point guard in the past campaign. The guard, who averaged 12 points and over 7 assists for the Wizards in last season, will get the opportunity to be crucial part of the West Conference contender and to secure a better deal when he become free agent after the end of the upcoming campaign.
The cap-strapped Phoenix had only the veterans minimum to give Tyus.
“The opportunity to compete for the Phoenix Suns made the most sense on a lot of levels to me and my family — starting with the way owner Mat Ishbia and the front office wanted me to how manager [Mike Budenholzer] showed me how I can be a crucial part of the organization that has a great chance to compete for the NBA championship as their starting point guard,” Tyus revealed today.
