The Suns signed Marcus Banks to a 5-year/$21 M deal to back up Steve Nash at point guard. This is a great signing for Phoenix, who have an up-and-coming guard to take over for Nash once he retires, which is probably why Banks agreed to a backup role. After the All-Star break, he averaged 12.2 ppg and 5.2 apg, while shooting 47% from the field.
