The Suns need another point guard. Grimes will be the best lead guard on the board, presenting an intriguing blend of size, athleticism and playmaking skills on the perimeter. He would be an ideal complement to Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.
At 6-foot-5, Grimes is a fluid three-level scorer who will carry a sizable load in Devonte’ Graham and Malik Newman‘s absence at Kansas. He can also defend a couple positions due to his size, which is an added bonus.
Phoenix will eventually trade for a point guard, but their current crop consists of De’Anthony Melton, Elie Okobo, Shaquille Harrison and Isaiah Canaan. There are some quality prospects there, but none are surefire starters moving forward. Grimes would fill that void and bring much-needed stability on that front.
