The Phoenix Suns are reportedly seeking a point guard to complement Devin Booker in their backcourt, with Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George emerging as a potential target. George, entering his third NBA season, was selected 16th overall in the 2023 draft and quickly showed promise, earning All-Rookie Second Team honors while averaging 13 points and 4.4 assists in his debut year.
Despite a productive sophomore season where he averaged 16.8 points and 5.6 assists, George's future with the Jazz appears less certain due to increased backcourt competition, including recent draft picks Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. Concerns have been raised about the impact of Utah's rebuilding strategy on his development, including potential bad habits and frustration.
The Suns could benefit from acquiring George as a stronger ball-handling option alongside Booker, potentially replacing Jalen Green. While a direct trade between Green and George is not explicitly recommended, it could serve as a foundation for a future deal between the two teams.
