Phoenix Suns were making a successful push for 11-year pro-Terrence Ross

According to the reports, this appears to be another occasion when James Jones may not have exerted enough pressure to seal the transaction before the new Suns governor Mat Ishbia intervened to make sure Ross ended up in Phoenix. Ross, who turned 32 earlier this month, has established a reputation for setting up simple attacks off the Toronto and Orlando bench. When he averaged 15.1 points (43/38/88 shooting), 3.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists for the Magic in 2018–19, he found himself in the running for Sixth Man of the Year, placing fifth in the vote.

Ross is averaging the fewest minutes (22.5 minutes) and fewest points (8.0) of his Orlando career this season, but he is still performing in the ways Phoenix will need him to going forward. Ross is shooting threes admirably when they are wide open (55.6%), as David notes, and very well when they are catch-and-shoot (39.5%).
