Candidates for the Suns 5th starter role all have pros and cons

Chris Paul. Devin Booker. Kevin Durant. Deandre Ayton.

Good luck finding a more dynamic quartet in the association than that. The burning question of who the fifth starter should be for the Phoenix Suns has been a hot topic among local fans and NBA experts alike.

My initial answer may sound dramatic, but... it does not matter. Who’s closing?

Yes, how they perform will matter. Whether it’s Okogie, Craig, Warren, Ross, etc. stepping in with those four, they will all have their moments.

What does matter, is who they close with and how well they adjust to playing alongside that starting unit.
