The Phoenix Suns entered the 2025 offseason in need of significant patchwork after parting ways with the likes of Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Tyus Jones. The quiet addition who could prove overwhelmingly significant, however, is Jared Butler—a diamond in the rough with untapped potential. For a Suns team that needs to replace Jones and alleviate the playmaking burden from Devin Booker and Green, Butler could prove invaluable. For a Suns team that's positioning itself to once again overburden its top scorers with the task of playmaking, Butler could prove invaluable. If Butler is given a fair chance, then there's a realistic possibility that he could become the exact type of player the Suns need in 2025-26.
