A ton of reasons can be attributed to the Phoenix Suns’ meteoric rise to the crest of the West’s mountaintop.
One such would be Monty Williams, who emblazoned a brightly lit trail to regency with a rugged winning mindset and stark attention to detail from the coach’s seat. Williams just received a well-deserved NBCA Coach of the Year award as voted upon by his peers, and has made wondrous contributions to Phoenix’s winning efforts since being signed to a five-year deal back in 2019.
Another huge role-player in the team’s surprise surge has to be James Jones, whose chess-like team-crafting mastery has him on the short-list of favorites to win 2021’s Executive of the Year.
