With nearly $94 million already committed to guards, the Suns are expected to be spectators in this year’s market.

Due diligence. That’s part of the administrative side of the offseason game, and that’s what we’re doing as we walk through the free agent landscape this summer. Maybe this is something you skim past and never think about again. Maybe it becomes useful ammo at a cocktail party when another fan starts talking about how badly they want Devin Booker. You can counter with one of the names from this list of free agent shooting guards.
Quite honestly, the Phoenix Suns don’t need another shooting guard. They’re already investing $93.4 million into that position next season. Unless they become desperate for the 14th or 15th guy on the bench to fill that specific role, a lot of the names below don’t carry much appeal.
We’re still going to look at them because that’s the point of this exercise. Position by position, working through the market and laying out who is available this offseason. Without further ado, here is the list of unrestricted free agents at the shooting guard position, [per Spotrac](https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/available/_/year/2026/position/sg/type/ufa).

Well, that was an underwhelming list, wasn’t it? As underwhelming as a Schlitz, ammiright?
Anybody above the Jordan Clarkson line probably isn’t even worth considering. Most of those players are attached to teams that hold their Bird rights, and if those organizations want to keep investing in them, they will. There is no need for the Phoenix Suns to invest more roster capital at this position, and if they do, it should be for a veteran minimum contracted player.
Side note: I didn’t realize Clarkson was almost 34.
Once you get below that Clarkson line, you start seeing names that make a little more sense. Is that Landry Shamet?! Our old friend Josh Okogie? And hey, the man who bet on himself, Cam Thomas. Should’ve taken the RFA extension offer from the Nets, buddy.
Amir Coffey feels like the obvious target for the Suns to bring back. They traded for him because of the versatility, the ability to hit the three, and the defensive flexibility. Spotrac lists him as a shooting guard; he’s really more of a wing defender. I’d expect Phoenix to bring him back for depth and continuity purposes. Outside of that, there really aren’t many players on this list that feel like realistic targets. The Suns already have plenty of guard depth.
We’ll move on to the small forwards next. Is there anybody here that interests you? Let us know in the comments below.
