Kevin Durant. Devin Booker. Bradley Beal.
Then there’s Deandre Ayton. Then what?
There is a “Big 3” with a clear 4th starter. There is a sixth man that figures to be their 5th best player. And hell, there’s no guarantee Gordon ends up being their fifth-best guy, but on paper that’s what you see.
If Phoenix wants to win a championship this season, they will certainly need their role players to step up and rise to the occasion. It won’t even take all of them at once, just a select few at the right time need to step up when it counts come playoff time.
