Dario Saric.
While Ricky Rubio was hands down the most important acquisition of the offseason, Dario Saric is arguably the second-most important.
Point guard was absolutely the more pressing need, however, Saric is projected to step in as a solid and possibly even game-changing power forward for the Phoenix Suns – the like’s of which the franchise has not had since Amar’e Stoudemire.
While STAT changed the game with his powerful and explosive athleticism, what will make Saric so valuable is his ability to stretch the floor and drain 3’s.

So what might he average?
Saric has “only” averaged 4.4 attempts per game in his career, his career-high being 5.1 in his second season, and 4.0 last year between Philadelphia and Minnesota (although his shooting percentage in Philly was a poor 30.0% – which is why I took it out of the earlier numbers – he did average 5.4 attempts in those 13 games).
...
With Rubio running the offense, fans should not be shocked in the least if Saric began the season averaging a new career-high of around 7.0 per game, over 2.0 about his career-average. If his shooting percentage is around 38.0% at about his two season aveage, he will average over 2.6 made per game.
