Outside of providing a three point shooting prowess for the Grizzlies, Daniels didn't exactly provide more beyond that attribute.


The Grizzlies gain a 2018 second round pick back in return.

That Phoenix 2nd rounder is 31-55 protected, so it won't convey. Memphis actually had to give their second rounder to salary dump Daniels, who will be a rotation player in Phoenix this year, because of injury problems with Reed and Knight.

Given the Suns system, Daniels should have no problems fitting into the offensive set. Just expect no defense from him. Hopefully the Suns have enough defense to limit Daniels defensive liabilities.

I think it will be a close race, but Daniels still will be the better defender out of our SG rotation, because Booker's defense is nonexistent . But Troy will fill a role and I think it's a solid deal for the Suns.

The Suns will learn one day that some defense will go a long way.

As for Devon Booker, I expect him to continue to get better as a player. Just be mindful about being cocky at times.

Will miss his threes but definetly, wont miss his defense. In every play that something went wrong and defense collapsed, he was somehow involved.
