The Phoenix Suns turned heads earlier in the offseason after trading for Bradley Beal.
Despite having three superstar-caliber players on the roster, many are concerned about the depth of the team.
Luckily for Phoenix, the front office has remained busy throughout free agency, bringing in numerous players to fill out the depth of the roster.
However, on Sunday, the Suns made a notable signing after acquiring prospect Bol Bol.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Bol is heading to Phoenix on a one-year deal.
ESPN Sources: Free agent F/C Bol Bol has agreed on a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns. At 23, Bol had his best NBA season with Orlando: 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks in 21.5 minutes. Another developing talent to join a deepened bench rotation.

His career numbers aren’t all that impressive, but he’s flashed some serious potential whenever he’s on the court. Last season, he proved to be a solid role player for the Orlando Magic.
Considering the lack of depth on the roster, there’s a possibility Bol Bol plays a larger role for the Suns. If that’s the case, there’s a chance he ends up being a sneaky good signing for this team.
Even so, this acquisition has NBA fans on the fence. Some love Bol Bol’s potential, while others aren’t impressed with his production in the league.
THE LEAGUE IS FINISHED THE PHOENIX SUNS ARE YOUR 2024 NBA CHAMPS LFGGGGGGGG

The Suns might have to average 140 points a game. Their defense is a major concern.
another player with no defense suns are cooked

A true facilitating point guard would make a huge difference for Phoenix.
ok hell yes but why'd we have to trade our one true PG. We still have a roster spot open

It’s an exciting signing, but the criticisms of this roster are valid.
Either way, the Suns are going to be heavily watched throughout the upcoming season as the franchise is going all-in yet again to get a championship.
