NBA legend Stephon Marbury believes the Phoenix Suns you need to add a scoring playmaker to reach the next level, for example Brandon RobinsonThe guard he had in mind was Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton.
“They need a point guard who can score. They need a guy who can get them going, but can also really get going. Like the kid who plays for the Indiana Pacers? Tyrese [Haliburton]”He didn’t compete much in the Olympics this year. But if he gets stronger? Oh my God, he’ll be fine!” Marbury said.
The last star point guard they had was Chris Paul, who was an incredible playmaker and worked with multiple scorers on the court to distribute the ball. He wasn’t a scorer, but his ability to distribute the ball was so much better that it didn’t matter. However, trading him for another scorer in Bradley Beal was not a good idea, as we saw in the playoffs.
Last season, Haliburton averaged 20 points, four rebounds and 11 assists for the Pacers. He would be a great fit for the Suns, but only if two things happen: He is the primary playmaker. Other players will have to follow a play or catch and shoot. Isolated plays will have to be limited for him to be effective. Second, the Suns need to restructure their superstar contracts, because adding Haliburton’s contract to theirs ensures they won’t be able to afford a big bench.
