The Phoenix Suns, even after making great strides toward a more top-down buy-in to the long game of team-building this year, face challenges in forming a balanced rotation amid an influx of players and health questions across the roster.
For now, there is a Tyson Chandler, Jared Dudley and Eric Bledsoe-sized role in the middle of the rotation. Training camp brings fresh optimism, as well as a return to normal for these three players, who saw their roles reduced to nearly zero for portions of last season due to Ryan McDonough’s decision after last year’s All-Star break to rest his veterans.
