Dario Saric — forward — restricted
Saric hasn’t quite panned out to be the potential starter some hoped he might be at this stage of his career, but he might be able to fill the role in the right situation.
Just 26, the Croatian could conceivably compete for some of Hayward’s minutes should the Butler product surprise and opt out of the final year of his deal and seek greener pastures.
He’d also fit quite well as a source of second unit scoring in the more likely scenario that Hayward remains, his career 35.6 % 3-point shooting and competent distribution a potential upgrade over the existing alternatives.
As with the next player on the list, securing Saric’ services hinges on his current team’s plans and finances, but should be monitored closely in the event the Suns envision a new direction at the 4 with Cam Johnson on the roster.
