NBA: Ranking the 5 best under-the-radar moves of the 2020 free agency period

Jae Crowder to the Suns

There is no doubt the Phoenix Suns are looking to take the next step and propel themselves into the playoff picture in the Western Conference. The Jae Crowder signing only proves this even more.

Crowder played a significant role for the Miami Heat in their run to the NBA Finals. Crowder has the ability to play very hard-nosed defense in a multitude of positions on the court. He also shoots decently from 3-point range to make him respectable on offense.

Crowder can be a key part of a rotation for a contending team and he’ll also provide an added veteran presence for a team that will be looking to make a huge jump in the West standings. He should see a good amount of minutes for the Suns this season.

If the Suns are going to be successful in 2020-21, there’s a good chance that Jae Crowder will have to play a big role for them, whether it’s in a starting role or off the bench.
