Last season, the Phoenix Suns desperately needed better ball security and playmaking, struggling in both critical moments and routine possessions. This offseason, James Jones addressed that by bringing in not one, but two skilled playmakers. In the process, he also added players with elite ball-handling and security skills.
The season hasn’t started yet, but through two preseason games, we’re already seeing the vision take shape. Tyus Jones and Monte Morris have lived up to expectations, both showing command of the offense. While their play may not be flashy, it doesn’t need to be. It’s fundamentally solid, which is exactly where the Suns needed to improve.
