The Phoenix Suns continue to make interesting moves this offseason.
It all started when they agreed to a blockbuster deal to acquire Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal.
He was the first domino to fall as it became clear the Suns were going all-in.
But due to the large contracts of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, and Beal, the Suns need to go bargain hunting on their bench.
They were able to sign a few nice role players for the minimum.
One of those players is former Orlando Magic forward Bol Bol.
Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Suns have agreed to a one-year deal with Bol.
It is a fully guaranteed deal for the 23-year-old.
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.

It appears that many free agents are willing to take less money to sign in Phoenix.
They see what the Suns’ roster consists of and how they are one of the favorites to make the NBA Finals.
Bol will play a role for the Suns this year off the bench.
He has size and a unique skill set for a player that is 7’2”.
The Suns might be the most top-heavy team in the NBA next year.
They will rely heavily on their stars to carry them and just hope they can get average play from their bench.
Bol is coming off a season where he played in 70 games and averaged 9.1 points per game.
It will be interesting to see what his stat line could be if he is given a bigger role in Phoenix this year.
