Who would be the best backup point guard for the Suns?

Question

These are the three best point guards left in free agency. Out of these, which would the Suns perform best with?

Damon Stoudamire

Jason Williams

Sam Cassell

Answer 1

J-Will he can drain threes and he can pass

Answer 2

What's wrong with Barbosa?  He's young, with far more upside.

Stoudamire is 35...

Williams will be 33...

Cassell will be 39...

Casell is still producing well off the bench, and was valuable to Boston.  He might work well with Shaq, but old is not what the Suns need.

From a fantasy context, either Williams or Cassell would merit consideration... but only in deep leagues.

Answer 3

Jason Williams because he still has some skill and isn't as old as Cassell or Stoudamire.

Answer 4

Your forgetting the best point guard option the suns have...

SHAWN LIVINGSTON.

That guy was a real deal point guard before that injury. He's only 22 and I think he will recover just fine and become the player he was before (and hopefully even better by playing with the suns and learning from Nash). He just got cleared to play and will probably make a slow recovery throughout this year. Hopefully by playoffs he'll be 100%. This is perfect for the suns because they have Barbs and DJ Strawberry to make a back up pg rotation with Livingston until Livingston is fully healthy enough to be the lone back up. He'll learn a lot from Nash on how to run an offense and become one of the best guard duo's w Goran Drajic in a few years when Nash retires.

Look for the BIG 4 on the Suns by then... Amare (already unstoppable), Livingston, Drajic (next tony parker), and Diaw (who hasn't even come close to reaching his potential as a player).

Answer 5

I would say Jason Williams because the Suns are a run and gun team without Shaq on the floor and Williams game is most similar to Nash's.
