Simmons played for the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers last season. He averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists while shooting 52.0% from the field and 72.7% fro the free-throw line. 

Simmons was the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He has experienced a huge fall from grace. The lefty has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Nets and Clippers, compiling career averages of 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists. 

The Suns have been busy this offseason. They traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and six draft picks, signed Devin Booker to a two-year, $145 million extension, hired Jordan Ott as their new head coach and reached a buyout agreement with Bradley Beal.
