If the Suns have learned anything — and it doesn’t appear they’ve learned much this season after ghosting their way to a 36-9 deficit in one quarter against the Kings — it’s that you simply cannot start Elie Okobo again any time soon.
In three starts, Okobo is shooting 33% from the floor and has dished just 8 assists total. Against any defensive effort, he picks up the dribble, looking for any outlet from 30 feet away from the hoop. And that’s only on offense. On defense, Okobo has lost his man nearly every time off a single pick, and doesn’t close out when he finally clears that last hurdle.
