The Phoenix Suns signed four free agents Monday, including Rex Chapman and Clifford Robinson.

Chapman, entering his third season with the Suns, signed a six-year contract. Terms were not disclosed.

The 10-year veteran led the team last season with a 15.9-point average and 120 3-pointers, 19th in the NBA. Chapman played in 68 games and also averaged 2.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 33.3 minutes.

Robinson, returning for his second season in Phoenix, signed a one-year deal. Terms were not disclosed.

Last season, Robinson finished third on the team in scoring (14 points per game) and second in blocks (1.13).

"Clifford was willing to sign a one-year deal to allow the Suns the necessary flexibility to assemble the best possible team and at the same time maximize his potential and provide flexibility for the future," said Robinson's agent Brad Marshall.

In addition to Chapman and Robinson, the Suns signed two first-year players, Pat Garrity and Gerald Brown.
