Let’s take a walk down short-term memory lane. Remember when the Phoenix Suns were overplaying their veterans, not giving the team’s youngest players enough run?
That was only one month ago.
On February 13, in a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans 110-108 at home, the last place 17-39 Suns gave their 30+ year old players (Tyson Chandler, P.J. Tucker, Leandro Barbosa and Jared Dudley) more than 85 minutes of game time, while the rookies (Marquese Chriss, Tyler Ulis and Derrick Jones Jr.) and Alan Williams played a grand total of 16 minutes.
