Jones is a significant addition to a Suns team that is attempting to compete for an NBA Championship.

They had been in need of a point guard to help facilitate the ball to Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.

Via Steve Jones Jr.: "Suns have really hit the margins this off-season. Jones will help them, everyone says they need a point guard and they got Monte Morris and Tyus Jones. Turnovers be darned."
