Welcome to the 2021-22 Phoenix Suns Season Preview series, starting with individual PLAYER PREVIEWS. We go through the roster, recapping last year and analyzing how they can help the Suns in their upcoming championship push.
The emphasis is different this year. We are no longer laser-focused on the highest upside, or praying for highlight endorphin spikes. Instead, we are looking to how this almost-the-same roster will perform a year older, a year wiser, a year more physically mature.
Let’s continue working our way through the roster.

Recap
“Pyramid Papi” appeared in only one-third of the Suns’ regular season (24 games out of 72 possible) and only 5 playoff games due to a knee injury.
