The Phoenix Suns are off to a terrific start and currently sit at the top of the standings in the Western Conference with a strong 8-1 record heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings. However, a question remains: where have the Suns’ point guards gone?
The Suns now have reliable point guards who can provide stability, manage possessions, and prevent turnovers. This has alleviated some of Kevin Durant’s playmaking responsibilities; last season proved that leaning heavily on him in that role often led to double-digit deficits throughout the year. Additionally, with Devin Booker no longer shouldering the full responsibility of ball distribution, everyone can now focus on playing their natural roles.
