KEY POINTS:
New Zealand basketballer Sean Marks has secured a one-year deal to play for the Phoenix Suns in the US.
The Suns say that unlike last year, Marks will get the chance to play in the NBA, according to Arizona's East Valley Tribune.
The 2.08m veteran of eight NBA seasons was with the Suns last season but played only three games.
New general manager Steve Kerr said the Suns expected to use him more in 2008.
