I don't think so. Jasikevicius is a point guard. He plays no defense. Most importantly the Phoenix Suns don't have any money to give him. They used their money on Raja Bell. The logical replacement would be Michael Finley... assuming he's available. That said, I'll be very surprised if the Phoenix Suns don't match Atlanta's offer.

Jasikevicius washed out with the Bucks a few years ago. He's a moderately hot prospect right now with his shooting, but the fact that the Hawks haven't gone after him in spite of being an unrestricted free agent should tell something.

No one knows how good an NBA PG he would be. Jaric took several years to develop and came into the NBA with more hype as a ball handler. Euro ball is very different from the NBA and it is hard to tell who will make the transition.
