Utah Jazz: Possible trade options from every other NBA team
By Ryan Aston
Troy Daniels, Phoenix Suns
The Basketball Economist on Twitter recently put out a list of the Association’s best 3-point shooters off the dribble. Given the intricacies of today’s game, it’s not hard to understand why the ability to knock those shots down is valuable for NBA teams.

Jazzman Joe Ingles tops the list; a true testament to his growth as a player. No. 2 is Darren Collison, who also features in the list I’ve compiled today. So, too, does the player in the third spot, my trade target from the Phoenix Suns, Troy Daniels
The Suns actually have a slew of attractive young assets. Devin Booker is a future All-Star and Dragan Bender makes a lot of sense for Utah, if you ask me. Josh Jackson and Marquese Chriss also move the needle in a major way. However, it’s hard to see Phoenix shopping any of the lot.
Daniels, however, is probably obtainable and is a legit sharpshooter. He’s topped 40 percent from 3-point range in four of his five years as a pro and is arguably the go-to option in the Suns’ second unit.
At less than $3.5 million a year through next season, his production far exceeds his cap number, which is where you want to be with every player.
