Suns snag Darius Bazley from Thunder for Dario Saric, 2nd
The Phoenix Suns are acquiring small forward Darius Bazley from the Oklahoma City Thunder for power forward Dario Saric and a second-round pick.
What It Means:
Bazley averaged nearly 30 minutes per game for the Thunder the previous two seasons, but he was cut down to 15.4 minutes this season. Torrey Craig and T.J. Warren will provide some competition for Bazley in the Suns' rotation, but the 22-year-old should have more minutes available.
Despite the reduced workload, Bazley averaged a career-best 0.92 FanDuel points per minute for the Thunder this season. He also set career-highs with a 52.5 true shooting percentage and a 50.6 effective field goal percentage.
