5x NBA All-Star The Phoenix Suns Must Sign

I believe the Phoenix Suns should sign five-time NBA All-Star John Wall.

The Phoenix Suns are one of the best teams in the NBA and recently traded for three-time All-Star Bradley Beal.

With Beal on the roster, the Suns now have a great core that also includes Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.

In the trade for Beal, the Suns gave up future Hall of Famer Chris Paul, who had been their starting point guard for the previous three seasons.

I believe the team should sign five-time NBA All-Star John Wall to replace Paul. 

Why? 

The former first-overall pick is one of the best passers in the history of the NBA (8.9 APG). 

Last year, Wall played in 34 games for the Los Angeles Clippers and averaged 11.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per contest in 22.2 minutes of playing time. 

He is no longer in his prime when he was among the top 25 players in the league, but Wall could still be a helpful facilitator. 

With the offensive talent on the Suns, there would be no need for him to be anything other than a playmaker who can set up his teammates. 

In addition to the Clippers, Wall has also played for the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards over his 11 seasons in the NBA. 

The 32-year-old has career averages of 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 43.0% from the field and 32.2% from the three-point range in 647 regular season games (he has also played in 37 NBA Playoff games).
